31 Patio Fireplaces Creating Outdoor Living Room Spaces

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.
