A fire pit is an excellent accent for any patio or garden in the spring and summer months. With a stamped concrete patio with fire pit, you have a small space to enjoy food and drink while the hot summer sun hits you from all sides. For those who love entertaining, a stamped concrete patio with fire pit is a wonderful setting to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Whether you are entertaining around the campfire or enjoying a barbeque on a cold evening, a stamped concrete patio with fire pit is sure to satisfy everyone.
Creating a patio with a fire pit is simple. All you need is a piece of flat, clean concrete and a fire pit that are a few inches taller than the base of the slab. Some people choose to use a base for their fire pit, but others prefer the convenience of having an easily movable pole. Just be sure to trim the height of the pole to the height of the concrete so it does not interfere with the grass or shrubs growing above it. For smaller patios, you can cut an existing round piece of paving or concrete and use that as the base for your fire pit.
Stamped concrete will help you create the perfect patios with fire pits. There are many different options available to you, but the most important choice is the color of the concrete. Make sure the color matches your home or business when you are finished. Otherwise, it will look haphazardly put together. Be sure to cover the entire surface with the cement mixture, then let it set in place before sealing it with caulk.
Water will seep through the concrete when the concrete is damp, so be sure to apply the cement and sealer at least a few hours before you plan to use the concrete. Another thing to keep in mind is to get your concrete coat to dry at least 30 minutes before you begin using it. It will be very difficult to remove excess moisture from the concrete if you wait until the end of the summer. After applying the cement and the sealer, you may wish to consider adding an accent of decorative pebbles or stone chips to the flat area.
Stamped concrete can be stained almost as easily as paint. Stenciling the design on the surface with paint-or any other-can be accomplished with stencils alone. Add in a few random pieces of driftwood or other items to add to the natural look of the plain concrete. You can even add stones to the concrete if you wish. The possibilities are endless.
Stamped concrete can also be used to line a fireplace with a matching decorative brick border. Use a decorative hammer and chisel to create a smooth, modern look to this space. Other great ideas for a fireplace area include creating a fireplace lining around the fireplace to produce a lovely small dining room or even a seating area for the guest of honor.
To add color to your patio or garden with a fire pit, you will need to add a few accents to the concrete. Place some small plastic or stone rocks around the perimeter of the fire pit to add interest to the area. Also, try creating an edging around the perimeter with stones or pebbles. Edging creates a soft border around the fire pit.
Once you have your stamped concrete fire pit or patio area built, you can enjoy the great feeling of relaxation and comfort that surrounds it. Enjoy some conversation with friends over the fire pit, or simply kick back and watch the evening sun climb up the concrete. No matter what you choose, you can be sure to create a beautiful space with any accent or accessory that you can think of.
