Outdoor Fireplace Designs - What You Need To Know
Submitted by tpcedwards
Outdoor fireplace design is quickly growing in popularity among homeowners in the U.S. Having an outside fire burning in your backyard while entertaining friends and family is life at its best. But, what should you be aware of with any outdoor fireplace design before installing one? Here's a quick look. Basically, an outdoor fireplace is the same as an indoor fireplace with the exception of a damper.
Your fireplace design can include standard bricks to cultured stones. Cultured stone differs from natural stone in that it is a cast stone, which makes it easier to work with.
A chimney is also used with outdoor design just as it is inside. The difference here is that you can use anything from a standard brick chimney to Mexican style chimney pots and many other designs as well.
Fireplace construction can be done with terra cotta, aluminum or cast iron in addition to brick. You can really get creative with any outdoor fireplace design.
Your outdoor fireplace can also include items such as a hearth, mantel and shelves if you would like. A stone mantel can be most attractive and a real conversation piece.
If you live in an area with frequent rain or snow, a masonry design may be your best choice. It will not rust or create other problems like metal can.
If you are in the process of an outdoor fireplace design, let your imagination flow and have fun with it.
