Outdoor fire pits continue to increase in popularity. Outdoor amenities instantly increase property value while providing a relaxing space for the family to enjoy spending time together. However, contacting a professional for proper outdoor fire pit installation is crucial. This article will highlight the main benefits of working with the pros.

1. Property Value

A standard DIY fire pit will not increase your property value. However, a professionally installed fire pit will. You can recoup a significant portion of the money spent on installation and materials when you put your home on the market. The ROI varies depending on the materials used and the fire pit's size. Multi-functional fire pits, such as those used to cook, offer a higher ROI.

2. Faster Sale

According to Grand View Research, houses with fire pits, outdoor fireplaces, and free-standing chiminea fireplaces may sell 2.8 days quicker than houses without one. That's because more families enjoy and appreciate outdoor amenities that let them enjoy outdoor living. Potential buyers also appreciate curb appeal; an outdoor fire instantly makes a house more visually appealing.

3. Safety First

Fire pits can be dangerous if not correctly installed. For example, a burning log can start a fire if it falls onto the ground. Dry leaves will quickly catch fire. During droughts, the grass is so dry that it's highly flammable. Professionals with experience in outdoor fire pit installation take special precautions to ensure you can use your fire pit safely.

4. City Regulations

Many cities have regulations regarding outdoor fires, while rural areas typically have loose regulations. Homeowners in the city or suburbs can get a fine or have to remove their fire pit if it doesn't meet the requirements. For example, some towns state that outdoor fires, including a fence, must be at least fifteen feet away from any structure. Professional companies have ample knowledge to ensure your outdoor fire pit meets local regulations so you don't get in trouble.
