Fire Features

Fire features bring warmth, ambiance, and extended usability to outdoor spaces when they’re properly designed and installed. Whether integrated into patios, seating areas, or standalone gathering zones, these elements must balance aesthetics, safety, and durability. Our fire features are built with material integrity, ventilation, and long-term performance in mind — designed to function reliably in Florida’s climate without compromising comfort or compliance.

Designed For Gathering And Comfort

Fire features create natural focal points that encourage conversation and connection. When properly positioned, they enhance seating layouts, define space, and improve nighttime usability without overpowering the surrounding design.

Built With Safety And Longevity In Mind

Heat exposure, ventilation, and material failure are common issues with poorly built fire features. We design each installation to handle sustained heat, airflow requirements, and repeated use while maintaining structural integrity and finish quality.

Heat-Rated Materials
Built to withstand continuous flame exposure.
Fuel Options
Gas or wood-burning configurations available.
Proper Venting
Designed for airflow and safe operation.
Integrated Design
Blends naturally with surrounding hardscapes.
Experience You Can Trust | Dickerson Decks & Patios

Fire feature installation requires a balance between technical precision and environmental awareness. With 38+ years experience, our team understands how heat, airflow, and material selection affect long-term performance. We’ve built fire features across a wide range of layouts and conditions, allowing us to anticipate safety concerns, prevent premature wear, and ensure consistent operation. That experience results in fire features that remain dependable, safe, and visually refined over time.

Functional Value & Long-Term Benefits

A properly built fire feature extends the use of outdoor spaces well beyond daylight hours. Strategic placement improves comfort during cooler months, enhances property appeal, and creates a reliable gathering area that doesn’t require frequent maintenance or adjustment. When installed correctly, fire features add both lifestyle value and long-term durability without becoming safety risks or maintenance burdens.

More Of Our Outdoor Services
Fire features are often integrated with patios, retaining walls, and decks to create cohesive outdoor gathering areas. We regularly coordinate fire installations with hardscape seating, elevated deck platforms, and surrounding drainage considerations to ensure heat, traffic flow, and water movement work together seamlessly.

Clearances depend on design, fuel type, and local codes, all of which are planned during layout.
