You’ve just bought a wonderful piece of property in the country and you just love the view. Your new backyard is a wide expanse of grass and trees. How you would love to stay out for more hours except it’s quite chilly even with a thick blanket over your shoulders. Just then you had a marvelous idea! An outdoor fireplace in your patio would be amazing. A crackling fire on cold windy days is just perfect.

Suddenly, you realized that you can’t afford to hire a mason and buy construction material needed to install your own outdoor fireplace. You feel depressed and sad. If only you had more money to spare, you can finally have one installed.

After a week of sulking around the house, you decided to go to your neighbor’s barbecue party. As soon as you stepped into their backyard patio, you immediately noticed their large outdoor fireplace. In it, some of the folks were busy grilling steaks and hamburgers. You were sure you were turning green with envy right there. You wished you should have just stayed home and sulked some more.

As you were picking on your steak and trying to act jovial to your friends, the host approached you and asked how your new home was. He immediately went on about how cold evenings are in your area and because of the he decided to buy an outdoor fireplace kit to personally install it himself. He also said that his two teenage sons even helped with the construction. You could not believe your ears. A DIY outdoor fireplace? Is it really possible? You immediately asked your neighbour how much it cost them and it was just a fraction of the price compared to having a mason build it for you.

As soon as you arrived home, you immediately scoured the Internet to get the best price for an outdoor fireplace kit. You immediately placed your order as soon as you found the company that offered these beautiful kits at a reasonable price. After having done that, you checked your local city planning office for the various permits and licenses that you might need to get your fireplace installed. Aside from the permits, you also checked your patio as to where you’re going to install your outdoor fireplace to make sure that it’s away from hanging branches, bushes and trees, a safe distance from the main house, other buildings and on level ground. You also made sure that there are no pipes or any cables passing through.

With the help of a neighbor, you began assembling your 36″ outdoor fireplace, starting with the firebox floor. Once the base was leveled, you proceeded to install the baseplate, sidewall, and the backplate. When that was down, you continued on to attach the flue and the hearth.

Since the outdoor fireplace kit that you bought comes with everything including wood storage and firebrick, you were able to see the finished product in just a day. You were so proud of your work and with the help of your neighbour, your outdoor fireplace turned out great!

No more cold nights, thanks to outdoor fireplace kits.
