Tips and ideas for designing the fireplace
The fire fascinates us humans at least as long as we found out to kindle it. An evening around the campfire, maybe with a stick sausage over the fire, has something archaic and invites friends and family for a cozy get-together and storytelling. That's why it's all the more important to make the fireplace as comfortable as possible.
Different types of fire pits
Fire pits can look very different: from the simple campfire, where you can only stack a few logs over the raised sward (which can then be reloaded) to the lavishly paved and covered barbecue area, everything is possible that you like. However, you must always keep in mind that open fire in the sense of a campfire always requires official approval. So, before you start planning your fireplace, get one from your local regulatory office.
Fire pits for terrace and balcony
Exceptions apply in many places to so-called fire bowls or fire baskets, at least if they are less than one meter in diameter. These fireplaces are also wonderful for a cozy fire on the terrace or even the balcony - provided your neighbors are not bothered by smoke or smoke. In addition, there are special fireplaces for the terrace and balcony, with which you can conjure up a campfire feeling - and which can also be used as a fireplace at the same time.
seating
It is also important to include seating from the outset in the planning of the fireplace. Position these so that neither people nor objects can be damaged by flames or flying sparks. Be creative in the choice of seating: How about a jacked-up tree trunk, used as a stool sawn tree stumps or, if it is to be noble, a brick bench, which also leads down as a staircase to the sunken hearth in the ground?
canopy
A roof of the fireplace is also useful, this should be used, for example, even in the rain. For this purpose, you can build a simple pavilion, but the roof always has a fume hood for smoke and heat - otherwise it could quickly lead to a large-scale fire.
Tips
Many a grill can also be used as a fireplace, for example, so-called swing grills. Conversely, you can also turn a fire basket or a fire bowl with a grilled grill in no time in a grill.
