An outdoor stone fireplace kit is a pre-designed and pre-cut package that includes everything you need to build a stone fireplace in your outdoor space. The kit will include precast stone or natural stone pieces, a firebox or insert, a chimney and assembly instructions. While you may need to supply some leveling sand and the paving stones needed to build a patio that matches the fireplace, the kit includes almost everything else you'll need. A well-made outdoor fireplace acts as a focal point for your patio and is a great place to gather with friends and family.

Tips for Choosing a Stone Fireplace Kit

Choosing the right stone fireplace kit is easy when you take into consideration a few things about the space and how you intend to use the fireplace. As a first-time outdoor fireplace buyer, the options can feel overwhelming, but at Nicolock Paving Stones, we're here to help with a few tips for choosing the right stone fireplace kit.

Tip 1: Think about your space. Before you buy a stone fireplace kit, you need to consider where you're going to put it. Assess your outdoor space and pick a location before you pick a fireplace. Consider the size, layout and proximity to any structures when choosing a fireplace that fits your space.

Tip 2: Choose your fuel type in advance. Knowing which kind of fuel you want to use can help narrow down your fireplace options. Outdoor fireplaces can be wood-burning, gas or propane. Each fuel type has its own advantages.

Tip 3: Consider all of the available designs. Outdoor fireplaces come in styles ranging from traditional to contemporary and you should consider them all. You can always add accents or choose a unique stone type or color to personalize the look.
