Fire Treatment PositioningFires bring inviting comfort and illumination to your lawn, garden, deck or patio and who can deny the draw of that distinct orange glow that means warmth and romance. A fire treatment brings a comfortable, protective atmosphere to your outdoor décor and creates a place for family and friends to gather and socialize. With a little preplanning you can place your fire treatment to achieve the effect you most desire.
If you’re looking to create an intimate, natural setting that captures the feeling of being out in the wilderness, set your fire treatment well away from the house in a darkened corner of your lawn or garden. Distancing your fire area from the lights and sounds of your house will increase an atmosphere of isolation and also make you feel closer to your natural environment. It can feel almost as if you’re camping if you have your house and landscaping lights turned off and everyone is facing the fire.
Setting your fire treatment closer to your house, on your patio or deck, can create an area where friends and family can gather and relax during parties or an area that becomes an additional part of the house as it is warmed and made comfortable by and inviting fire. Bring your inside outside by choosing furniture that matches and compliments your indoor scheme and arrange it around your deck or patio fire area. This extends the atmosphere and hospitality of you interior to the exterior of your home.
Some other basic ideas for positioning your fire treatment involve preplanning and observing your outdoor space so that you can place your fire area so that smoke doesn’t blow into your home or through entertainment areas. Track the prevailing wind direction and place your fire treatment appropriately. Also, when planting, think about where your fire treatment will lie and place vegetation well away to avoid problems stray sparks and embers might cause. |
