If you’ve got boring outdoor space and want to revamp your backyard, putting in a fire pit might just be the solution you need. Read on to know more about fire pits in Dallas before you decide to have one:
Why it’s a good idea
A good fire pit could prove to be the heart of your outdoor area. It’s ideal for when guests come over and you want to entertain them outdoors. Planning a big family get-together? Have a barbecue party in your backyard. Also, there’s nothing quite like the feel of a good fire during the cold evenings when you want to relax after a long day at work.
How to get one
Shop around. Consider the style that’s dominant in your home or the kind of ambiance or feel you want for your outdoors. Pick fire pits in Dallas that match those styles, settings or vibes. That way, you won’t end up with a fire pit that’s completely wrong for your outdoor space.
What to do?
You could prepare the site or base, says Popular Mechanics. Clear the area ahead of time. That way, if you plan on asking experts to install one for you, they could get started on the job right away instead of having to waste the better part of an hour preparing the site.
Safety tips
If you’re going to prepare the site yourself, be sure to keep any flammable materials away. And pick a location that’s about 10 feet away from your home or any other structure in your backyard like your garage or tool shed. 25 feet is a better distance, though, so keep that in mind. If there are any trees, move them, cut them down or just move the pit somewhere else. That should make for a safe enough spot for it.
