Is the Double Sided Barrington Fireplace Kit Serves Two Outdoor Living Spaces Right for Your Space?

The Barrington See-Through sits with quiet confidence between adjoining spaces, giving two sides a shared source of warmth and presence without looking contrived. Its proportions echo traditional masonry fireplaces but with a transparency that feels intentional — bridging areas rather than boxing them in. From each vantage the fire reads as a composed, architectural element that anchors conversation and movement.

In everyday use, the see-through design changes how you inhabit the space. Warmth and light travel freely, inviting people to gather on either side without one area feeling secondary. The broad hearth and balanced form encourage relaxed pacing: morning coffee on one side, evening wind-down on the other, each moment held by the steady glow of the fire.

People who choose this version tend to appreciate how naturally it integrates into the flow of their outdoor living. It doesn’t shout for attention or compete with furnishings; it simply becomes the place you return to — a place defined by warmth, permanence, and a sense of calm continuity between the spaces it unites.

Can a DIY Homeowner Really Build One?

Building a masonry fireplace can feel intimidating at first. Most homeowners worry about building skills or missing something. Our planning resources and build guides are designed to remove that uncertainty before you begin. That’s why every kit is backed by clear planning tools, dimensions, and step-by-step guidance—so you can see exactly what’s involved and move forward with confidence, long before you start stacking blocks.

Estate Wing Walls

Estate Wing Walls

Extend your fireplace into the surrounding patio with coordinated seat walls and piers. Wing walls help define the gathering area, create additional seating, and provide convenient surfaces for drinks, plates, or décor.

Common Questions About This Kit

Yes. The modular system allows for layout adjustments and optional components so the fireplace can be tailored to your space and design goals. While most kits feature the same size firebox, we do offer two-sided and compact firebox kits to ensure you get the size fireplace your home needs.
