What You NEED to Know Before Building a Fire Pit

Every homeowner comes to the thought that they may need a fire pit in their backyard. However, if you only use it once or twice a year, is a new fire pit in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania really going to provide the best return on your investment?

Before you build a new fire pit, here are 3 questions you need to ask yourself:

• How often will you use your new fire pit?

If you only plan to use a new fire pit in Center Valley, Pennsylvania once or twice a year, it could end up wasting a ton of space in your new outdoor living space. This is why it’s important to consider how often you will really use your new fire pit.

When it comes to planning a home renovation, smart homeowners want to optimize their investment to ensure the best return. This is why we would never let you invest in a feature that you won’t enjoy to the fullest! As your partner, we will get to know you, your family, and your lifestyle so we can help you select the best features, finishes, and amenities for your new outdoor living space!

• How many people will gather around your new fire pit? 

If your new fire pit is too small, someone might always be left in the cold. But if your new fire pit is too large it could feel empty. Considering how many people will gather around your new fire pit in Allentown, Pennsylvania is crucial to making sure your entire space feels comfortable.

If your vision is a huge gathering with all your favorite family members and friends, a larger, built-in fire pit, complete with a functional and attractive seating wall might be the best solution.  However, if snuggling up by the fire with a good book and a glass of wine is more your style you’re probably going to prefer a smaller, more practical fire solution.

• Will a fire pit take up too much space? 

You will need a large open space for a fire pit so that the flames and sparks don’t reach your home, furniture, or other outdoor features. Typically, wood-burning fire pits will need more space. For safety purposes, you will want to make sure to have at least 20 – 30 feet between your new wood-burning fire pit and your home’s facade.
