Ask Joshua: Elevate Your Outdoor Space with Stunning Fireplaces - Beyond the Ordinary Fire Pits!

Hi Joshua,

My husband and I are currently working on revamping our outdoor space in anticipation of several significant gatherings this coming fall. Recently, we discussed the possibility of having an outdoor fireplace built for our outdoor lounge area with the contractor. However, the cost far exceeds our project budget, leading us to put the entire outdoor fireplace plan on hold for the next few years until we have the necessary funds.

While we're not keen on the idea of a firepit since they seem to be ubiquitous in our area, we don't want to compromise on the aesthetics of our home. We're in search of a more unique and elegant outdoor fireplace option that sets our property apart. We're particularly interested in an industrial look to complement our desired style.

Is there a type of outdoor fireplace that aligns with our preferences? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
