Fire Pits & Outdoor Heating

When the weather gets colder, you may still want to spend time outdoors. Patio heaters, fireplaces, and fire pits allow you to enjoy the great outdoors regardless of the weather. These outdoor heating solutions make it easy to stay warm without ruining the aesthetic of your home. While all three are great options, only you can decide which one will serve you best. To help you make that decision, let's go over the similarities and differences.

First up on the list, we have the outdoor fire pit. Outdoor fire pits come in a variety of designs, so there's bound to be one that fits your style. Whether you want tall, short, patterned, plain, or modern, there's an option for you. You can also choose between wood-burning and gas-burning. Wood-burning pits conjure up the traditional image of sitting by the fire on a cold night, while gas-burning pits provide a more modern appeal. Top brands like UniFlame®, Solo Stove, and Real Flame® all manufacture top-notch fire pits that are sure to keep you toasty all winter long.

Next on the list are outdoor patio heaters. The unique thing about this option is that you can choose between standing and hanging models. Many patio heaters can be mounted or hung in a way that's similar to hanging a chandelier. This is a great option if you have limited patio space, don't want the heater to be noticeable, or worry that your children or pets might knock a heater over. In addition to being a space-saving option, patio heaters come in a wide variety of designs. You can choose the color, style, and heating type (infrared options are available!) to ensure you get exactly what you're looking for.

Last on the list are outdoor fireplaces. While they're similar to fire pits, fireplaces can offer you a more polished look. With options ranging from stone to granite, it's easy to find a nice match for your patio furniture. If you're looking to create an outdoor oasis that's as comfortable as the indoors, an outdoor fireplace is for you.

Once you've chosen your outdoor heating method, you may want to consider a few accessories. Outdoor heating accessories can make a space even more comfortable or help you achieve your desired look. Fireplace screens, covers, tool kits, and log racks can make the use and maintenance of heating equipment a breeze.
