Reasons for building an outdoor hearth vary, but whatever yours are, you will want to consider certain elements to bring your project to a successful conclusion. Ambience: Fireplaces can set the mood. A cozy open hearth provides an intimate setting for small groups. If you throw large parties, consider building a fireplace with two open ends to accommodate more people. A fire pit provides views from all vantage points and the feel of a campfire setting. Functionality: You can build a fireplace that also serves as a barbecue or pizza oven, but these designs are very complex. Also consider any electrical installations you may need to hide behind the fireplace, including lighting or audio/visual cables. Many homeowners match the stonework of their fireplace to the stonework of their residence, although it's not mandatory. Brick offers a more traditional stone facade, while man-made stacked stone gives the hearth more of a contemporary look. If you don't want to go for a stone exterior, stucco is also a popular option. The size of your fireplace should be scaled to its surroundings. Consider whether you want your fireplace to be the focal point of your back yard, or to complement an already-stunning vista. Try to design the fireplace with proportions in mind. You don't want your fireplace to completely overshadow the size of your house; nor do you want the fireplace to be dwarfed by your home. Locate the fireplace in its own space to create another "room" in your outdoor living space. Allow plenty of space in front of it for family and friends to gather around and enjoy. Most outdoor fireplaces are either wood-burning or gas. A wood-burning fireplace offers the attraction of a more "natural" fire. However, they usually require a building permit. Contact your municipal government about setback restrictions, chimney specifications, and other requirements. The city will issue a permit to allow you to begin construction, then inspect the result and grant permission for you to use it. Gas fireplaces burn cooler but cleaner than their wood-burning counterparts, with little if any ash, embers, and smoke. Hire your gas supplier or a licensed gas contractor to safely connect the fireplace to your gas line. Check local codes for specifications on gas piping. Many areas require black iron pipes rather than regular steel or galvanized materials.
