Outdoor Fireplace Design

http://www.MyEnchanted.com
If your goal is to use your Outdoor Fireplace Design as a visual extention of your inside living space, start indoors and look out your windows to envision where to build your Fireplace or Barbecue. Try to visualize the enjoyment from inside the house, as well as when your outside

Proposed Construction

If your proposed Fireplace could be on the property line or in some other way visible from your neighbor's lot, it would be a great idea to discuss your plans with them. If you are not sure about your property lines, you would be well advised to have them surveyed before you start.

Utilities

If your going to need electricity or natural gas lines for your addition, you will want to locate the proposed addition in an ideal spot to minimize the expense of installing these utilities. TO save money and headaches you might want to consult with a electrician and/or natural gas expert before you start construction. You will want to install the utilities according to your local governing code.

Seating

Plan for seating! For maximum enjoyment of your Outdoor Fireplace Design, be sure to include places to sit and enjoy the new addition to your yard. Patio chairs, chaise lounges and benches will work great, but you might want to incorporate a seating ledge as well into your design. (ledges and benches are also a great place to show off your potted plants and flowers)

Privacy

You probably won't want to position your outdoor entertainment area in full display of the neighborhood. You wouldn't want people looking in your living room windows, and you won't want to have your positioned area in full display either. Make certain you allow for adequate clearance for fire safety reasons. In order for a natural wood burning fireplace to "draw" properly, your local building codes will have a lot to say about where exactly you can build outdoors.
