Winter is officially here, and the weather is just getting colder! If you didn’t get around to hiring a contractor to build you an outdoor fire pit or fireplace, you still have time. College Station Covered Porch and Outdoor Kitchens is always available to start working on your outdoor living space.
Deciding between a fireplace and fire pit for your backyard can be difficult. It might seem easier to just go with a fire pit so that you can save a little money and get a place to keep warm quickly, but fireplaces are actually a much smarter investment.
- Atmosphere:
The atmosphere created by an outdoor fireplace is truly unbeatable. Regular fire pits tend to be very casual, and while that’s great for some occasions, such as roasting marshmallows with your family, it isn’t necessarily what you want for every event you host. Sometimes you want your dinner party to feel a bit more sophisticated than the campfire vibe a fire pit gives off.
The ambiance an outdoor fireplace will have for your outdoor living space is something more refined and elegant that can also be dressed down for when you want something simpler and more casual. It’s the best of both worlds.
- Serviceability:
Usually people want outdoor fire features for various reasons, but the actual heating element is a large factor. It makes sense that you would want to install something to actually keep you warm when fall and winter roll around. This is why you really have to consider the pros and cons of a fire pit versus a fireplace.
Fire pits are open and put out heat in all directions, but that isn’t necessarily a good thing. You’ll have to have seats scattered all around the pit and then what if the wind is blowing and only people on one half of the fire pit even feel any warmth? Or what if the window blows the fire out completely? With a fireplace, it directs all the heat in one direction and shields your fire from wind. This also means people aren’t having to stand in the path of smoke. It’s also much easier to plan a seating area around a fireplace, as it tends to be more cohesive than seats scattered all around a fire pit.
- Home Value:
Because of the permanence and extravagance of an outdoor fireplace, the value of your home increases drastically when you have one installed. If you’re thinking you might sell your home at some point, adding a fireplace to your outdoor living area can help pique potential buyer’s interest. It’s not something that’s very common yet, so people are automatically going to be very interested and the fireplace can easily be marketed at the focal point of your backyard.
Overall, it genuinely depends on what you value most as a homeowner. Only you can decide what works best for you, but you definitely cannot go wrong with an outdoor fireplace.
