Fired Up about Fire Pits
The firepit has been a part of the human experience since the first day that we mastered fire. Besides the obvious practical applications of warmth and food preparation, the act of sitting around a fire is profound. Conversation, music, and long thoughts are just a few of the benefits of a controlled fire. One of the best parts of any camping trip is sitting around the fire with friends and family so it’s no wonder that the modern fire pit has become a very popular element to homeowners.
Fueled by gas or hard wood the fire pit can be designed and built in a great variety of ways and materials.
Using a scattering of blue topaz or aquamarine gemstones in your fire pit adds a magical quality. The azure hue of reflective fire glass is a beautiful highlight for any setting. Mirrored on one side, the beautiful glass pieces will not only reflect the glass around them, but also the bright yellow flames of the fire. The glass is also very practical. It does a wonderful job of covering the entire floor of a fire feature, effectively hiding the unseemly pipes and tubes that are often visible in gas fireplaces and fire pits.
The most popular firepit basic shapes and designs include Pits, Bowls and Tables:
Pits – Circular built-up stonework creating the classic pit for fire.
Bowls or Custom Shapes – We can create a free-standing structure that holds the glass or stone.
Tables – A flat surface with the recessed area for fire, filled with crushed glass or pumice stone.
