Hanging outside by a warm fire on a summer night is a Michigan thing. You bring family or friends together around a firepit, add some marshmallows or hot dogs and some cozy chairs with blankets and you have a recipe for a memorable night.
Adding a firepit to a backyard for warm-weather gatherings can be simple if you live out in the country, but you may want to consider a more formal build or structure if you are in the suburbs or an urban setting. That is where having a great example and a helpful retailer comes in handy. Metro Detroit has some of both, thankfully.
A great example of how a firepit can change the feel and looks of a backyard or outdoor gathering space is at Coriander Kitchen. Its canal-side restaurant has outdoor firepits perfect for warming up while enjoying an outdoor meal. The fire pits are a late winter and early spring activity, encouraging people to gather around for a good meal and good conversations.
To install a firepit at your home, Metro Detroit has several local stores that specialize in outdoor fireplaces, firepits and outdoor furniture that blends a cocktail table with a fire feature. You can use wood, propane or natural gas to fuel your fire feature. You’ll also want to look for a product that has quality components, is made with rust-resistant materials and offers a decorative element if you want it to set a tone for the rest of the backyard.
Many of these stores can help you design the backyard firepit area of your dreams. They also can install the firepit or help you set it up at your convenience. Check ahead with your local municipality to find out what is possible and pay a visit to these stores to learn more about what options are the best for your home and family.
