Installing a fire feature instantly increases the value of your property in Georgia. Outdoor fireplaces and fire pits are both great ways to add a warm and cozy area to your outdoor living space.

Read more about the specific benefits of fire pits and outdoor fireplaces to see which fire feature fits your tastes and outdoor living space more.

Fire pits are warm and inviting places to socialize around.

If you are trying to decide if you should install a fire pit or an outdoor fireplace on your property, you should consider the size of your outdoor living space. With their beautiful open and circular design, fire pits can accommodate more people than an outdoor fireplace because people can gather completely around them to enjoy the fire. So, if you plan on hosting large gatherings often, a fire pit may be the better option for you. Fire pits are also much smaller than outdoor fireplaces, so if you're looking for something a little more low-key or don't have a ton of extra space, firepits are a good option. While they will still add beauty to your property, they won't take up a tremendous amount of space and can seamlessly blend in with other features of your property. Another factor to consider when trying to decide between these two fire features is the price. Fire pits tend to be the more cost-effective option because they are smaller and easier to install than outdoor fireplaces.

Outdoor fireplaces add a sophisticated style to your outdoor living space.

Fireplaces are statement pieces that increase the value of your property. Outdoor fireplaces do not provide as much heat for as many people as fire pits do because they are not open on all sides, but their design uplifts the aesthetic of your outdoor living space. Since fireplaces are larger pieces than fire pits, they are usually added to larger properties.

Many outdoor living space designs are instantly enhanced by installing an outdoor fireplace. Consider installing an outdoor fireplace near the following locations:

  • Near an outdoor kitchen to enhance the looks of your outdoor space
  • Next to a pool for a sophisticated design around a fun outdoor activity
  • Alongside a patio or other seating areas for a comforting ambiance

Outdoor fireplaces also have functional uses. Since fireplaces are large features, they can be situated in a specific space to add an extra layer of privacy to your property. An additional benefit of outdoor fireplaces that fire pits don't have is that the smoke from wood-burning fireplaces is directed upwards and out of your face, so you won't have to worry about smoke constantly blowing toward you.
