I don't enjoy being cooped up inside the house all day. We have a little patio at the back of the house, and I like to sit there and enjoy a nice cup of tea or coffee. And when the weather turns cold, I bring out my trusty patio fire pit and build a fire to keep me warm. I've had this patio fire pit for years, and I can't imagine what I'd do without it when the days and nights grow colder.

When I first decided to get a patio fire pit, I told myself I'd have to get one that would last a lifetime. Well, I've had mine for more than eight years and it still looks good as new. It has a fine mesh cover so I don't have to worry about sparks getting out and burning my clothes. It also comes with a grill and cover, so the family can have a barbecue and roast marshmallows too. It's also portable, so I can move it around easily.

My patio fire pit is a brazier-type, wood burning one. It has a raised steel bowl for burning wood. I know there are some patio fire pits that are gas-fueled. Well, I love the fragrance of burning wood. And I love to watch the flickering flames of a wood fire. They make me feel warm and cozy.

A patio fireplace is usually made from long lasting large rock and natural stone structure or simple metal grills. Some are sunken pits made of cement with a grate on top for grilling and cooking food. Propane-fueled types are suggested if your patio terrace consists of wooden. Petrol flames are less difficult to control and there is much less threat of starting a fire. There are several designs and styles of patio fire bowls.

A patio firepit stretches the length of time you can enjoy your patio or deck particularly if you live in colder areas. Even on chilly evenings, you can light your patio fireplace and keep comfy beneath the stars.

Getting an outdoor fire pit is a enjoyable and relaxing way to utilize your back yard. Actually, now we have the majority of our family get togethers right by our backyard fire pit!
