A fireplace in your backyard is more than just a hole in the ground. Its a conversation piece. Its a party pleaser. Its a relaxing centerpiece to your outside area. Whether its made out of man made stone or natural stone, it will be a gathering point to which friends and family will attend. Relatively inexpensive, a firepit could be the best decision for your outdoor patio area. Fireplaces give the feeling of inside comfort to the outdoors. Smaller patio areas can be dramatically enhanced with a fireplace along the edge of a patio. Although there isn't a full 360 degree viewing of a fireplace, there is a level of intimacy that comes with a fireplace as opposed to a firepit.
