Tips & Advice

By adding a gas fire pit to your patio or backyard, you can discover the endless opportunities that your outdoor living space has to offer. A gas fire pit not only creates a stunning centerpiece for your space, but it also allows you to enjoy the outdoors and gather outside year-round. For mild winter weather, a gas fire pit is the most logical choice of fuel source. Because gas fire pits use natural gas or propane, there’s no need to worry about dry wood or manually starting your fire in the cold. However, if you want to get the most out of your gas fire pit, you’ll need to be sure to take proper care of your investment to maintain its beauty. Even if you plan to use it through the fall and winter months, it’s still important to take special care of your gas fire pit during this season. Read our End-of-Season Fire Pit Checklist to ensure that you are taking proper precautions for the off-season months.

Everybody enjoys the comfort of relaxing and gathering on a patio in their backyard during warm sunny days, but patio living shouldn’t be limited to the spring and summertime. In warmer states like California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida it may seem a little easier to enjoy the outdoors during winter, and although it is, it can still get chilly, especially at night. But, when fall is at its peak and winter starts to creep in, that doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to your outdoor relaxation space. In fact, with the proper setup, you can design a patio that is suitable for year-round use, well through the winter months.
