FAQ's About Firepit Construction
Firepit designs can range from very simple designs to more elaborate, custom-built structures. We work with local suppliers that also offer pre-designed firepits that come in a kit form for a professional to install.
The most common and popular design options include in-ground firepits, above-ground firepits, fire tables, and fire rocks. We can help you choose a firepit design that best suits your backyard space, aesthetic preferences, and your budget.
Yes, we can certainly design and install gas or propane firepits in addition to traditional wood-burning firepits. Typically we'll subcontract with a qualified plumber to install any required gas lines or connections. Gas and propane firepits offer benefits such as ease of use, cleaner burning, and fewer restrictions in some areas. If you would like to discuss gas or propane options for your firepit we'd be happy to provide you with those options.
The construction time for a backyard firepit depends on factors like the size, design complexity, and the materials used. On average, we can complete a firepit project within a few days to a week. We do however book up quickly for these types of projects so it's a good idea to contact us several weeks if not months ahead of time if this is a project you plan on doing. We generally cannot accommodate requests to build a firepit on short notice.
Permit requirements for firepit construction vary depending on your local municipal regulations. Some areas may require a permit, while others do not. Generally a permit is not required for a wood burning fire-pit but for gas or propane firepits a permit is often required and can be handled by the plumber who is hired to install the gas piping.
Common materials used for firepit construction include natural stone, landscape blocks, bricks, and metal inserts. Each material offers different aesthetics, durability, and cost. We can help you choose the most suitable material for your specific needs and design preferences.
When choosing seating options for your backyard firepit, consider factors such as comfort, durability, maintenance, and style. You'll also want to consider how many people do you expect to enjoy your firepit? You'll want enough seating for your family and possibly some overflow if you have guests or host an outdoor gathering. Seating options range from built-in benches to seat walls to freestanding chairs or even outdoor furniture. We can discuss seating options with you during our on-site consultation.
