What is it about the draw of the campfire? I can sit for hours just watching the flames dance and dart while feeling the stress of the day drain away. Seems that although that has been the case for folks for tens of thousands of years, the good ole fire pit is really making a comeback in the landscaping around the Asheville and Hendersonville areas. And who can blame us... our pleasant afternoons and evenings make a small fire enjoyable througout the summer. Not to mention how nice it is to knock the chill off of the spring and fall evenings. Are you thinking about adding a fire pit to your stone patio or outdoor landscaping? Consider these tips:
Make sure the fire pit will be at least 10 feet from any flammable structure like your home or wooden deck.
Make sure that your fire pit is not near any overhangs like low hanging limbs or a covered deck.
Make sure your fire pit is at least 6 inches deep.
Make sure your fire pit is at least 24" wide and long to keep embers contained.
Or better yet, make it easy on yourself and let TPS Landscaping design and build a fire pit for you!
