Fire Pit or Fireplace?

A fire pit creates an open gathering area with seating around several sides.

An outdoor fireplace creates a stronger architectural focal point and generally directs the flame and heat toward one primary seating area.

The appropriate choice depends on:

Available space
Number of users
Seating
Views
Wind
Materials
Fuel type
Nearby structures
The desired appearance

Custom and Manufactured Features

LaBarge builds custom fire features and can install selected commercially manufactured units after review. Built-in seating, covers and accessories can also be discussed as part of the project.

Before purchasing a manufactured unit, confirm its fuel type, dimensions, foundation, clearances, warranty and installation requirements.

Fuel, Permits and Other Trades

Wood, natural gas and propane options are available. Each has different installation and operating requirements.

The homeowner is responsible for arranging gas lines. LaBarge can assist with the permit and inspection process. If you are considering a fire feature near or beneath a pergola, the design must account for the required clearances and the surrounding materials.

Why Choose LaBarge

LaBarge can plan the fire feature alongside a patio, paving and other landscape elements so the finished space works as a whole. Custom fire features include a one-year workmanship warranty.
