One way to liven up any patio is by adding a fireplace. It can be a fire pit or a fireplace,  wood-fueled or gas. The styles vary tremendously.

The patio fireplace creates a great gathering point for friends and family. It also helps illuminate and warm your outdoor space during those cool nights!

Outdoor fireplaces aren’t very expensive (some less than $100!) and they’re relatively easy to set-up. Outdoor fireplaces can be used in a warm climate and a cold climate. You can expect a very calming ambience when a fireplace is involved.

Additionally,  there isn’t a kid in the world who doesn’t love a fire pit in the backyard! Having your own is like camping every night.

Below is an extensive photo gallery of many styles of patio fireplace ideas and fire pit ideas for your outdoor space! We hope you enjoy this gallery of backyard fireplace pictures.
