Which Unique Fire Feature Best Suits Your Home?
Fire features are a popular addition in outdoor livings spaces. You can find them in every shape, size, and style imaginable, from traditional wood burners to modern gas options.
Fire Tables
Fire tables combine the function of a fire pit with the convenience of a table, adding both form and function to your deck or patio. They are typically gas or electric, housing a small fire in the middle surrounded by a perimeter of table space.
Fire Bowls
Fire bowls are slightly different from traditional fire pits. As their name suggests, they are bowl-shaped, housing fire media and flames within. They are generally smaller and more lightweight than fire pits, and easily moveable for use where and when needed. Fire bowls come in an infinite number of styles and sizes. They are an excellent solution for areas that restrict fire pits and fireplaces. They are self-contained, conforming to most regulations.
Fire Columns
Fire columns combine the features of fire pits and fire bowls into a stylish, space-saving package. Most are gas/propane powered.
Fire Urns
FIre urns resemble a miniature fire bowl with an urn shape. They are typically gas-powered housing a small propane tank within.
Chimeneas
Chimeneas are common in the southwest but are growing in popularity across North America. Formed from traditional terracotta or metal, gas and wood-burning chimeneas resemble a small, portable fireplace, featuring a small hearth at the front with an opening at the top. This design maximizes heat at ground level, directs smoke upward, and prevents rain from dampening flames.
Fire/Water Features
Are you looking for a truly standout feature? Modern technology now allows for the combination of gas and water features. These not only offer warmth and comfort but make for a statement centerpiece in your backyard design. Many are customizable with the help of your contractor, allowing you to create the perfect feature for your style and space.

Residential Pergola W. Sampson Rd., Littleton, CO 80127
A home located in the mountains adds a layer of complexity to any type of home remodel or add-on. This beautiful new log home was no different and required added considerations due to the mountainous, high-altitude location. Fortunately, we were able to consult on the project during the deck build and advised on the best way to receive the pergola footings, which had to be increased in size. This was necessary to handle the added support, which had to be doubled to stand up to the high winds and heavy snow loads common in the mountains.
