The two most popular outdoor fires are with a fireplace or an open fire pit.

An outdoor fireplace is a bigger focal point in your outdoor entertainment area. A fireplace can be can be designed to block an ugly view, add privacy, or create a statement in your courtyard. The only downside with this is these take up more space and you can only sit on the one side.

By contrast, an outdoor fire pit is more casual and less expensive. It can be used as a central statement piece in an entertainment area. By having the pit open it can be difficult to control where smoke drifts and cooking options are more limited.  If you’re having trouble deciding on what option, a qualified Christchurch landscape designer like Evergreen landscapes can help.
