Design Considerations for Your Outdoor Fireplace

Outdoor fireplaces are not only durable and beautiful additions to your backyard patio, but they also offer great versatility in design. Here are a few design considerations when designing your outdoor fireplaces:

Built-In TV Wall
Design your outdoor fireplace to double as a built-in TV wall, creating the perfect outdoor entertainment hub for watching movies and shows while relaxing by the fire. If your outdoor fireplace is exposed to the elements, ensure the TV is weatherproofed during the winter months to protect its electrical components.

Custom Inlays and Decorative Accents
Personalize your outdoor fireplace with custom inlays like decorative tiles or stone mosaics to reflect your unique style. Products such as Mattoni™, Series™, and Copthorne® can be used to create decorative accents that add visual interest to your space, especially when paired with banding and borders in your patio design.

Double-Sided Fireplace
A double-sided fireplace provides warmth and ambiance to both sides simultaneously, making it perfect for connecting a patio and dining space or a poolside and lounge area. This design maximizes space and offers open views for a more connected outdoor environment.

Fireplace/Kitchen Combination
Combine your fireplace with an outdoor kitchen to create the ultimate living and entertaining space, ideal for cooking, dining, and socializing. Consider adding elements like a bar fridge, wood box, or pizza oven insert to complement each other and create visual harmony.

OUTDOOR FIREPLACES FAQS

How much does it cost to install an outdoor fireplace compared to a fire pit?
Outdoor fireplaces usually cost more upfront than fire pits because they involve a larger scale and more complex installation. They often need professional construction, permits, and inspections. The materials, chimney design, and overall structure can add to the cost, making it a bigger investment. If you’re thinking about adding an outdoor fireplace to your backyard, working with a skilled contractor, like a Unilock Authorized Contractor, is a good idea to get the job done right.

Is it worth investing in a pre-built fireplace instead of building one from scratch?
Yes, opting for a Unilock pre-built fireplace can be a smart choice. Our pre-built kits have everything you need for a quick and easy installation, including a stainless-steel firebox, pipe, and metal cap. Talk to your Unilock Authorized Contractor to help fit the fireplace into your outdoor setup.

Does my outdoor fireplace need venting?
Yes, proper venting is important for your outdoor fireplace. A chimney or vent system helps direct smoke away from you so that you can enjoy the warmth and ambiance without the hassle.
