With fall finally here, you’re no doubt ready to get outdoors, sip on pumpkin spice everything, and watch the leaves change colors. One of the best ways to enjoy the outdoors is with a custom built fire pit. Indiana custom home builders are great at designing fire pits that go with the homes they build.
Fire pits are a great gathering place for friends and family alike. Whether you’re drinking hot cider and roasting s’mores or telling stories, the fire pit is a staple for any backyard. But, you don’t want just any old fire pit. You want one that is customized to fit your needs, style, home, and backyard.
Here are 5 fire pits Indiana custom home builders can build in your backyard:
Rustic Flagstone Fire Pit
If you’re really into nature and want the fire pit to blend in with your landscaping and backyard, then a flagstone fire pit is perfect. Imagine walking off your deck and following a flagstone walkway to your fire pit. Your custom home builder can even build benches out of the flagstone, so you don’t have to worry about outdoor furniture or storing it during the winter. The pit itself can be built up, so the flagstone keeps the fire protected. If you’re more into the minimalistic look, then consider leaving the pit level with the ground.
Metal Fire Pits
For those looking for a more classic fire pit look, consider a metal one. These pits come in all sorts of sizes and shapes and can be customized in a variety of ways. For example, if you use a round and cylindrical shape, then you can have your name punched out the metal. These are also great for anyone who wants to move the fire pit around to find the perfect spot every time you want a bonfire.
Gas Fire Bowl
Okay, so this one isn’t technically a fire pit, but you can get the same great coziness with a gas fire bowl as you get with a fire pit without some of the hassles. Imagine not having to collect firewood and try to get the wood to catch on fire every time you want to have a bonfire or roast s’more. A gas fire bowl is ready to go whenever you want a fire. Plus, you can customize it by using different color rock inside the bowl, so it really goes with any house.
Fire Trough
Again, this isn’t technically a fire pit, but it is certainly a great way to bring the feeling and aesthetics of a fire pit to your deck or back yard. These fire troughs are usually built with stone and use gas as the source rather than wood. They look upscale and come in a variety of lengths, so you’ll be able to customize it to fit the space.
Tabletop Fire Pit
Whether you don’t have room for a big fire pit or simply don’t like the way one would look in your backyard, tabletop fire pits are the perfect solution. Get them out when you’re in the mood for a fire or when the weather changes and you need to warm up a bit. These fire pits are perfect for setting the mood, taking the fire with you, and for roasting s’mores. Bonus: these fire pits come in gas or wood burning, so the choice is up to you!
Whether you’re looking to create a gathering space in your backyard or simply want to set the mood on your deck, there’s a fire pit perfect for you. If you’re having trouble deciding what will work in your backyard, Indiana custom home builders will be able to help you pick out the perfect fire pit.
