Our Outdoor Fireplace Kits Are Built Better

Not every outdoor fireplace kit is created equal. Ours kits are only masonry and are made from solid concrete block and lined with firebrick—just like a professionally built masonry fireplace, but easy enough to assemble yourself with no cutting, no mortar, and no need for specialized tools. Whether you’re planning a full outdoor living space or just want to add warmth and ambiance to your patio, our kits make it possible to create a permanent backyard feature that adds comfort, beauty, and real value.

All Kits are made with SOLID masonry made in the USA

How to Choose the Right Outdoor Fireplace Kit

Choosing the right outdoor fireplace comes down to how you plan to use your space. Start with the basics: Do you want a classic single-sided fireplace that anchors one main seating area, or a see-through fireplace that warms two zones at once? From there, think about your fuel preference. All our kits are designed for real wood fires, but you can easily add a gas log set if you want the convenience of push-button flames.

Next, consider placement. Your fireplace should sit on a proper footing or concrete pad or an existing patio that can support the weight of a masonry structure. Review the detailed dimensions and CAD drawings on each product page—they make planning simple. If you’re working with a raised patio or deck, look at our Bellrise for Decks, which is engineered for elevated builds.

Finally, be honest about your build style. Most homeowners complete their fireplace over a relaxed two to three days using basic tools. If you prefer help, landscapers and handymen love working with our kits because they require no cutting or mortar. The result is the same: a durable, low-maintenance outdoor fireplace you’ll enjoy for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Fireplace Kits

What types of outdoor fireplace kits do you offer?

We offer two main styles: Standard (single-sided) fireplace kits for traditional backyard layouts and See-Through fireplace kits for patios that need a fire feature visible from both sides. Both styles offer the same solid construction and flexible design options.

What materials are your outdoor fireplace kits made from?

Each fireplace kit is built from solid, pre-cut concrete masonry blocks engineered for long-term outdoor durability. The firebox is lined with high-quality firebrick for safe, efficient heat management and a long service life.

Are your fireplace kits safe for wood burning?

Yes. Every kit is designed for safe wood-burning use and includes a stainless-steel spark arrestor for added peace of mind.

Can I install a gas log set in your fireplaces?

You can. Our fireplaces are built for classic wood-burning, but many customers add a gas log set for clean, convenient fires with the flip of a switch.

Where can I install an outdoor fireplace kit?

Your fireplace should be installed on a proper footing or an existing patio that can support the weight of a masonry structure. Each product page includes detailed dimensions and CAD drawings to help you plan the perfect location.

Can I install a fireplace kit on a deck or raised patio?

Not directly. However, our Bellrise for Decks model is purpose-built for raised patios or deck structures where weight and clearances matter.

Do I need a concrete pad or special base for installation?

Yes. Like all masonry-style structures, your fireplace requires a stable foundation. A local contractor or hardscape pro can help confirm your existing concrete patio’s load capacity if needed.

Do I need to cut any blocks or use special tools?

No. All blocks arrive pre-cut and ready to stack, so you won’t need saws, grinders, or advanced tools. Everything is designed for clean, predictable assembly.

Can a DIYer really build one of these fireplaces?

Absolutely. Our system stacks together like a LEGO-style building kit, guided by detailed, step-by-step instructions. Most customers complete their fireplace with basic tools and no prior masonry experience.

How long does it take to assemble an outdoor fireplace kit?

Most homeowners complete their build in 2–3 days, depending on pace and weather. There’s no mortar, no cutting, and no heavy machinery required.

Do I need a permit to build an outdoor fireplace?

Depending on your city, county, or HOA, you may need a minor fire feature permit or a quick local code review. Most customers report that the process is fast and straightforward.

How long will an outdoor fireplace kit last?

Your fireplace is built from dense concrete masonry blocks and firebrick—materials intended to withstand decades of weather and heat cycles. With regular use, these fireplaces provide long-term, low-maintenance performance.

Do outdoor fireplaces add value to a home?

Outdoor fireplaces are one of the most requested backyard upgrades and often deliver an excellent return on enjoyment and resale value. They create a true outdoor living room and extend how often you can use your patio.

Can I customize the look of my fireplace kit?

Yes. You can add upgrades and grill stations to personalize your fireplace. Our modular system makes it easy to integrate your own style.

How much space do I need for installation?

Space requirements vary by model. Each product page includes detailed dimension and diagrams that make planning simple. Compare your patio footprint to the dimensions to ensure the perfect fit.
