Blog Cover-01The moment the temperature drops in South Louisiana, we instinctively move more of our lives outdoors. We relax outside, we cook outside, and we entertain outside. But in order to enjoy the seasonal weather, you need to have an outdoor space that can accommodate your guests. One of the most effective ways of providing these accommodations is by installing a custom fire pit in your backyard.

Need a little more convincing?

Check out these 5 reasons a custom fire pit is a must for outdoor entertaining:

A custom fire pit is a conversation piece.

By having your fire pit custom-built, it can be as elaborate or as simple as you like. It can be built to blend in perfectly with the rest of your outdoor space or to stand on its own. By having your fire pit built to your vision, you can be sure it will be remarkable and remarked upon.

A custom fire pit acts as a gathering spot.

Every gathering spot needs a centerpiece. A social magnet. A custom fire pit fills that role naturally. Most are built with a table-like surface bordering the perimeter and are easily accessorized with chairs or benches, which invite your guests to sit, relax, and enjoy each other’s company.

A custom fire pit provides added lighting.

If your outdoor space is too dark, no one will venture out to enjoy it. If it’s too bright, it won’t set the right mood. But the glow of a fire—wood or gas—provides just the right amount of ambience and light for entertaining any evening.

A custom fire pit provides warmth.

In South Louisiana, we rarely have to worry about temperatures being too cold to entertain outside. But when it does get chilly, having a fire to gather around provides just enough heat to keep things cozy. Conversely, on those milder nights, the heat from your fire pit isn’t overbearing and won’t make your guests uncomfortably warm.

A custom fire pit adds value to your home.

Yes, a custom fire pit can help the dollar for dollar value of your home. More importantly, it adds warmth and personality to your outdoor space. Whether they’re prospective buyers or a visiting pals, the warm and friendly atmosphere of a custom fire pit is one more way to show your guests that your house is also a home.
