Fire Pits vs Outdoor Fireplaces
Wondering whether a stone fire pit or fireplace is best for your new backyard design? While both are a great option, here’s a few key differences to keep in mind.

Advantages of Firepits
- Due to their 360-degree design, fire pits allow ample seating around all sides. Installing a seating wall will give you a permanent place to cozy up by the fire.
- Fire pits create a “conversation circle” of friends and family to relax and chat into the night - not to mention see every angle of your beautiful new outdoor living space!
- Love roasting marshmallows or grilling hot dogs? Firepits are a family favorite, as it brings the “campfire” feeling into your backyard.
Advantages of Fireplaces
- Outdoor fireplaces are more of a “statement piece” than firepits, and can become a stunning focal point for your backyard both in day & night.
- Not only are they a great place to cozy up with a loved one, they can be upgraded to include a pizza oven.
- Unlike exposed firepits, outdoor fireplaces are covered on the top and sides - making them less susceptible to the elements like wind or rain.
