Fire features bring atmosphere, warmth, and a central focus to outdoor areas. They make a space more inviting, especially in cooler months or evenings.
Shane Waaka has helped homeowners install everything from portable fire bowls to custom masonry fireplaces. The best choice depends on size, budget, and how often it will be used.
Portable options like brazier bowls or chimineas are easy to move and store. Built-in fire pits or outdoor fireplaces require more planning but deliver lasting impact.
Consider wind direction, seating distance, and local fire regulations when placing any fire feature. Shane recommends using non-combustible surfaces underneath for safety.
Whether for family nights or social gatherings, fire features create a welcoming outdoor hub. Choose one that matches your space and lifestyle.
