Outdoor fireplace dimensions.

As part of the overall design mix the dimensions and scale of your outdoor fireplace play a crucial role. A professional mason may charge anywhere from 5 000 to 12 000 or more for a similar brick or stone fireplace depending on size material choice and design details. The configuration and dimensions of most other components of the fireplace and chimney are based primarily on the dimensions of the fireplace opening selected. The firebox design is critical.

The fireplace opening is a very important element in fireplace design. You could use a new grill. Come to think of it. Here is a photo of a new masonry firebox in my own home.

The rear wall of the firebox rises vertically from the floor of the fireplace and then begins to slant towards the fireplace opening just at the top of the gas logs. A gas outdoor fireplace instead requires venting. I d tell you to pat yourself on the back but your shoulders may be sore. The firebox depth does not include the thickness of the facing material you see when looking at the fireplace.

A large structure like this one needs an open yard and tall trees for the scale to seem appropriate. If you plan to fuel it with wood or propane it can be a portable structure and you can locate it more or less anywhere in your outdoor space. Your outdoor fireplace is complete. Thinking about the size of an outdoor fireplace is important.

Some factors that might influence your decision include the size of your outdoor living space and whether your outdoor fireplace is going to be wood burning or powered by propane or natural gas. Now comes material. If you can build this you can build any of my kits. A wood fireplace will require a chimney of sufficient dimensions to ensure a draft that allows the fire to burn properly.
