Why You Should Add a Firepit to Your Patio

Odds are you have some generally positive memories centered around a fire or firepit of some kind. Firepits and the human attraction to fire has been around for millennia, since the beginning of human history. Whether for cooking food, entertaining friends or having a romantic evening with a loved one, memories of warm fire pits and cozying up with friends and family, firepits remain a key part of our humanity. Fires make us feel more connected by those we love and watching the flames dance about can have a calming effect on our psych. If that’s not a benefit enough, then maybe we can convince you further.

1. As stated above, firepits tend to be crowd pleasers since most people have this undeniable love and appreciation for a firepit. Maybe it’s the connection experienced with people you love or the hypnotic flames that draw people to a fire. It also gives you an opportunity and a reason to have people over, as well as serving as a beautiful focal point tying your landscape together in a lovely way.

2. There’s lots of options for firepits. You can stick with a traditional wood burning one, or you can opt for propane or gas, depending on your preferences and whether or not you want to take it with you when you move, or might want one installed to add value to your home if you decide to sell. They’re available at all price points and if you enjoy a DIY project, you can easily create your own.

3. Firepits can be used year-round. Another benefit of firepits is that whether its summer or winter, it can be used all year. If you’re making smores or sipping hot cocoa or cider, having a fire going in the background can be a nice feeling.

4. Romance! Fire pits aren’t just good for get togethers and parties. They are also good for use as a romantic feature for two, sipping wine and cozying up to your partner, staring in to each other’s eyes- and all that jazz.

5. A fire pit could help you sell your home. The average return on investment (ROI) on homes that include a firepit is about 67%. This means that if you invest about $6000 in a firepit, you’ll recoup losses up to $4000 and possibly sell your home quicker. Firepits add some value to your home, and bonus points if you have some great landscaping too. Firepits can really bring your home together and appeal to others, making it stand out from the neighbors’ homes.
