How do you choose between a fire pit or a fireplace for your Fairfax VA home?
No matter which you choose, you will get light, warmth, and fuel options (wood or gas). So what other criteria should you consider to help you make the decision?
A fire pit might be for you if:
- You enjoy campfires
- You plan on entertaining groups of 5 people or more
- You want to create more of a social/party/ campfire atmosphere
- You have a spectacular view from your property
- You have a smaller property (fire pits are a great option for a townhouse backyard)
- You comfortable with open flame
- You can handle some smoke
- You don’t have a problem with sparks and embers
A fireplace might be for you if:
- You are entertaining a small group of people
- You want to create a cozy or romantic ambiance
- You want to create a focal point in your landscaping
- You have a property that has a lot of wind (a fireplace will be easier to light, and can block the wind)
- You are intimidated or fearful of an open flame, sparks, or embers
- You can’t stand smoke
