What Are Different Types Of Gardens Of Fire?


There are many kinds of different fires that I can have out in my gardens. Fire can be illuminating and our eyes are always drawn to its flickering flames which rushes up and then extinguish themselves only to rise again. We always like to feel the radiant heat of the flames and cherish the warmth.



There are five different fire elements that families decides on installing in their gardens for many different reasons. For some people this is a natural extension of the home. By having this I can have comfortable time outside from the very early spring through late fall. A lot of people get together around the fire and have a good time together.

Fire also goes with romance, and families with children goes with fire elements for some good, old-fashioned roasted marshmallows, s'mores, and hot dog.



There are quite a few ways to host open flames in our outdoor space. From fireplaces to torches and lanterns, the garden has a frequent companion which is fire.





A lot of people want to have a fireplace outside in their garden, as well as, having one in their house. Most of the time it is stated that the hearth is the center of the home. The outdoor hearth becomes a natural focus and the centerpiece of the garden.

  I have a large patio so an outdoor fireplace is generally placed at the margin so the entire space can remain usable. Outdoor fireplaces can be constructed of brick, flagstone, or field stone and they can range from the rustic to the extremely modern.



A lot of people who have outdoor fireplaces likes to use decorations as an avenue for self-expression. Some of them use vases and plants to decorate outside as they do inside. Fire pits come in many different ways. A simple hole in the ground lined with stone is the easiest way to get a fire pit. Some people prefer a very refind design with some of life's modern conveniences. Most of the time the fire pit is placed at the center of a patio so that everybody can sit around it.

  The placement of the fire pit is an important consideration. Since I have enough space that I can have a fire pit then the result can be spectacular.  But sometimes people do not have a lot of space and still want a built-in feature, then they need to look to the edges of their patio.


Some people like to have wood burning fire pits and fireplaces with natural gas starters for ease of use. This requires running a gas line to the fire element. A gas emitter is operated by an out of the way valve that is easily hidden behind a loose stone in the veneer. These starters have  to be installed beforehand and must be seen by a licensed professional. I will have more finish work to do once the masonry is complete.

There is one important factor to consider when choosing the materials of my custom fire element and that is the effect of high temperatures on some kinds of concrete and stone.       The high heat caused by fire can damage or destroy stone. Some stones will explodes when exposed to high heat.

Fire bowls can be used in an outside garden. They can be picked up and moved which means they can be multifunctional and this is great when a family wants to relax,  and eat in the same area.


Fire bowls are made out of smooth or beaten copper, and rest on a separate stand. The pedestal that holds up the bowl also conceals the fuel tank. Chimneys has been around for along time. These terra-cotta and  pottery chimneys are real nice to be able to put some chairs around them and get warm.

Patios do not always have any type of fire on it. A real good way to be able to add nighttime ambiance to a gathering would be to use a lot of well-placed series of torches or lanterns. Since light seems to attract bugs so everybody should have bug repels such as citronella oil on hand.

Summary


It does not matter what type of fire I am going to put outside in my yard or even if I decided to used only torches and lanterns, I will then always be ready for company.
