Homeowners want the highest quality materials for their homes, without sacrificing style and sophistication.
Concrete fire pits give an elegant, effortless look to outdoor spaces that homeowners can enjoy for years to come. And they’ve become an increasingly popular addition to patios and decks around the States.
But not all concrete fire pits are created equally.
Fire Pit Designs + Options Available
Fire pits are a widely popular feature in outdoor areas and communal spaces, and the selection of fire pit products and finishes can boggle the mind.
From concrete to steel to fiber cement, fire pits can be manufactured using a number of materials. Here are some of the most common:
Steel
Many fire pit products come in steel or will have a frame made from the metal. Steel is used in outdoor design when you want something affordable and durable. Steel fire pits are relatively lightweight, compared to other metal fire pit designs. They’ll hold up in bad weather, but if you’re in a coastal climate, steel can be more prone to rusting and erosion.
Cast Iron
Cast iron fire pits are a popular choice when you want to create a rustic look in your space. The biggest downside to cast iron is, by far, its weight. Cast iron is highly durable and holds heat extremely well, but the size and weight of a cast iron product make it impossible to move without the use of machinery.
Fiber Cement
Steel-framed fire pits are often finished with other materials, and fiber cement makes an affordable, low-maintenance and fire-resistant option for homeowners. Large retailers offer fiber cement-clad fire pits that make the look of outdoor luxury accessible to everyone.
Wood
Some DIYers and homeowners love the look of wood and finish their fire pit design with wood to match other elements of their exterior space. But you need to keep in mind that wood will require more maintenance than other construction materials and might need to be refinished more frequently than some homeowners have the time for.
Concrete
Concrete is another popular material used in fire pit design because it’s durable, fire-resistant and weather-resilient. But concrete can be hard to work with because it’s so heavy. If you need to move your fire pit for any reason, you’ll have to call in for backup.
But innovative concrete experts, like Dekko, have made a lightweight concrete solution possible for homeowners who want a sophisticated and modern concrete fire pit design without the hassle of a heavy product.
How Lightweight Concrete Offers More Solutions
It’s easy to see how a fire pit makes a great addition to any space. It gives families a central place to connect and adds an element of style to your home’s design.
And fire pits are a highly popular design element: They’ve been at the top of homeowners’ must-have list for outdoor design for the last several years. Landscapes architects rated the popularity of outdoor design products for the ASLA, and “the top three most popular outdoor design elements include fire pits/ fireplaces (66.0 percent), lighting (65.4 percent) and seating/dining areas (64.0 percent)” as of 2018. Because of that popularity, there is a multitude of fire pit options for homeowners to choose from.
Big-box retailers make fire pits available at cheaper prices for homeowners, but installing something that’s easier on your budget upfront isn’t always the best solution. Mass-produced fire pits usually aren’t made of real concrete, and they don’t come with the durability of a product like Dekko’s lightweight concrete fire pits.
The natural characteristics of concrete are what make it a long-lasting solution for fire pits. But the lightweight concrete option offered by Dekko offers homeowners even better solutions. Dekko’s fire pits:
- Don’t require a sealant for protection
