Fire Pit Tables Hearths

Hi all, so we have focused on fire pit design, fireplace design, tiki torches, safety, recipes and more. But today, I want to bring up something I feel we have overlooked thus far; fire pit tables, sometimes known as hearths.

What is the difference? Well, to be quite honest, not a whole lot if you are a fire pit expert, but the common misconception is that fire pits are just that, a pit, in the ground, or an above ground pit with fire. While this can and is true for the most part, modern designs have incorporated many style which include a table or mantle surrounding the fire pit frame itself. Some people call these hearths, as they should, but the only distinction is that you can rest a beverage, or gather around the hearth and enjoy some food, while not having to eat out of your lap, you can rest plates, drinks, etc on the hearth.
These table tops are made of durable material, variations of stone, granite, marble or even porcelain. Custom sizes and shapes or hearths and fire pits can be fabricated, along with a custom burning system to fit perfectly.

Make sure to take into account, when deciding on a hearth or fire pit, the size and scope of the area in your backyard or patio so that it fits appropriately. You dont want something too overwhelming in size that you have to move everything around just to fit it in, then youll be bogged for space when moving around your entertainment space.

Fire Pit Design Ideas Which have Names

I have often viewed, looked at, studies, reasearched...whatever you will, different fire pit design concepts for backyard landscapes, but I have never come across a site that named their fire pit designs.... "Ron," "Alley," "Juggler" and "Jarvan" just to name a few. But then I came across this website which tragically did. The names were derived from the people who actually created them (I still think they could have been a little more creative) and offer step-by-step instructions and blueprint layouts for how the fire pit will transcend from an idea on paper into a manifestation of reality into the new outdoor landscape.



Although, the fire pits are rather mundane and ordinary, the benefits of the step-by-steps are that you can actually see the landscape prior to the digging, installing and then the inclusion of shrubs, plants and trees which bring these ideas to life and complete the plot of land.

Its nice to see that yes, you CAN conceptualize, build and enjoy a custom fire pit all on your own, but make sure you are thinking about the entire landscape design plan and not just putting up a fire pit for the sake of it. Think about how the fire pit can be incorporated for entertaining guests, how far away is the space from your patio, grilling area and obviously (but not always to most) your home or other structures that could receive damage from an open flame.

When you are ready to upgrade your backyard, let us know and well be happy to help you with any of your landscape design and outdoor fire burning system questions.
