Outdoor fire features are a great way to take your landscaping to the next level. Whether you’re looking to host a party with friends or relax with the family after a long day of work, here are the top five natural gas fire features to consider when designing your backyard:
1. Fire Glass
Fire glass is an eye-catching feature that’ll elevate any outdoor space. These small, stone-shaped glass crystals are designed to refract and glow in the light of the fire. Available in all sorts of different color options, you’re able to arrange them into all sorts of different displays, including fire pits. Their rounded edges are designed with safety in mind, and the glass is specially treated so it doesn’t char, fade, or emit any toxins when exposed to prolonged heat.
With fire glass, turning on a natural gas fire is as easy as flipping a switch. Plus, you can set the burn flame to varying levels to get the perfect ambiance for your next late night outside.
2. Fire & Water Fountains:
It’s a classic battle of the elements: fire versus water. Why not combine both by installing a fire feature within a fountain? These unique patio fire features blend both elements to create a captivating visual display that’s ideal for both cold nights and warm summer days.
You can even design a custom fire feature to suit the unique needs of your outdoor space.
3. Barbeque Grills
Love hosting cookouts? Consider setting up a natural gas line for your barbecue grill. Natural gas provides a quick and even heat distribution, so you don’t notice a difference in performance when compared with propane or charcoal grills. Natural gas is considered a more convenient choice, too, since you don’t need to refill it, and it can help you save money in the long term.
If you’re not ready to replace your propane grill, you can also look into converting it to natural gas. We can help you understand that process and determine whether it’s a viable option for you.
4. Torches
Torches are another favorite on our list of outdoor fire feature ideas. The style and convenience of tiki torches make them an ideal choice for setting the ambiance in your backyard at night. They’re tall enough to keep the flame out of reach of small children while offering light and warmth for late nights outside.
There are countless advantages to natural gas torches. Unlike more conventional tiki torches, you don’t have to refill them, and lighting them up is as easy as flipping a switch. With lots of different style options on the market, it’s easier than ever to find the right design for you.
5. Fire Pits and Fire Tables
Nothing makes a statement like a fire pit. These fire features blend the ruggedness of camping with the elegance of comfort, encouraging your guests to gather together to swap stories, unwind, and relax.
With such a wide variety of sizes and styles, there are plenty of affordable options to meet your design preferences, as well as the unique requirements of your space. You can even choose between fire pits, which are built into the ground, and fire tables, which are elevated off the ground.
