Creative Fire Pit Ideas
Photos of four unique fire pit projectsFire pits are an incredibly popular landscaping feature in many areas of the world. Landscape designers are getting creative with their fire pit designs. Here are four inspiring examples of unique fire pits that will generate ideas for your own project.
Use Fire & Water
Both fire and water have the ability to energize and soothe. Combining them in the same outdoor space will amplify this experience. In this Colorado yard, a water feature serves as both a visual and auditory backdrop for the fire pit area. In other words, the sights and sound of the water add to the unique setting.
Create a Circular Border
A circle is a common shape for a fire pit becasue it lends itself to gathering around. Encourage guests to get cosy by adding another circle as a border to the fire pit area. In this case, the border also serves as seating.
Go Natural with Rock
If you're a fan of the au natural look outdoors then turning a boulder into a fire pit is a good option. A portion of the rock is ground out for placement of a burner and then plumbing is run through a hole so that natural gas or propane can be delivered to the burner. This can be done custom with a boulder that is already on your property or with one hand selected from a supplier. There is also a company that specializes in this type of fire pit, learn more here: Boulder Fire Features.
Use Recycled Materials
For those looking to be environmentally responsible, consider creating your fire pit with recycled materials. This Washington fire pit was made of a recycled cast-iron rock crushing cone that weighs 2,000 pounds. It looks unique and will last for years to come. An underground natural gas line feeds the flame.
