3. Fire pits are the best place to gather around and entertain. For decades we have used fire to warm up a space or even to cook over. The fire pit industry has evolved. Fire pits of today come in every different shape, size and color you could ever imagine. The classic fire pit is typically circular in shape as we have all seen in every campsite or public state beach area’s. Since a lot of us prefer to spend time at home it is not uncommon to make your outdoor living space into a staycation destination.

4. You can either pay a contractor to design and build your fire pit or you can select from a large variety of precast concrete fire pits that are simply gorgeous. The cost of having one built is often times more expensive than buying a precast fire pit. Precast fire pits are made in circular, square, rectangular and even fluted shapes. If you have your contractor build you a fire pit on site you will still need to purchase all the “guts” of the fire pit including a stainless steel burner plate, a fire ring or burner insert, a gas key valve and two flexible gas connectors. Another advantage to purchasing a precast fire pit is that they come complete with everything you need to light up your fire without having to source all the parts and pieces individually. The precast concrete fire pits are hand made by concrete artisans and are available in beautiful earthy concrete stain colors to coordinate and nicely blend with any outdoor living decor.
