Three Types of Outdoor Products
- Fireplace - these can include large, built-in structures all the way down to small metal ones.
- Chiminea - these free-standing products come in a variety of materials, including cast iron, clay, and copper.
- Fire Pits - often portable, fire pits are usually made out of copper or steel.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Product
Materials
- Copper is good for long-term use. The product should be crafted from 100% pure copper; otherwise the flames can burn through. Copper tends to develop a patina over time.
- Casted aluminum is weatherproof and rustproof, and will not rust or stain a deck or patio. While it is very durable, it is quite portable. Cast aluminum required little maintenance.
- Cast iron is durable and heavy. If you want a product that will be kept in just one location, a cast iron fireplace or chiminea would be a good choice. However, cast iron will rust if not properly maintained. Cast iron can stain decks or patios.
- Clay has a natural look, and is a choice when shopping for chimineas. Clay chimineas will not last as long as aluminum or cast iron.
