Outdoor Fireplace Wellington, Wairarapa
Outdoor Fireplaces
An outdoor fireplace changes how long you use your space.
Without one, people head inside when it gets cold.
With one, they stay.
Simple as that.

Where it works best
Outdoor fireplaces aren’t just dropped anywhere.
They work best when they’re:
Positioned where people naturally sit
Sheltered from wind
Close enough to the main living area to be used regularly
Get that wrong, and it becomes something you light once or twice a year.
More than just heat
It’s practical - but it’s also a focal point.
A well-built fireplace can anchor a space
Gives structure to outdoor seating areas
Creates a natural place for people to gather
Adds a more solid, architectural feel to the landscape
Stone, concrete, or plastered finishes — it depends on the look you’re after.
How we approach it
There’s a bit more to it than just building a box and lighting a fire.
Safe clearances and materials
Wind direction and smoke flow
Integration with surrounding spaces (decks, kitchens, seating)
Built to handle weather and regular use
We’ll be upfront about what works — and what’s not worth doing.
Keeping it practical
A good outdoor fireplace should:
Be easy to light and use
Not smoke you out every time
Sit in a spot that actually gets used
Otherwise it ends up as a feature you don’t touch.
The end result
A space you’ll use longer through the year.
Warm, simple, and built properly — somewhere people naturally gather without thinking about it.

FAQs
What materials are best for outdoor fireplaces?
Outdoor fireplaces are typically constructed from durable, weather-resistant materials such as brick, stone, concrete, and stainless steel. These materials ensure the fireplace can withstand various weather conditions and provide long-lasting durability.
Are outdoor fireplaces safe for children and pets?
Outdoor fireplaces can be safe for children and pets with proper precautions. Install safety screens to prevent direct contact with flames, establish a safe perimeter, and supervise children and pets when the fireplace is in use. Safety gates or barriers can also be added for extra protection.
How do I maintain the aesthetic appeal of my outdoor fireplace?
To maintain the aesthetic appeal, regularly clean the exterior surfaces to remove soot, dirt, and debris. For stone or brick fireplaces, consider sealing the surfaces to protect against weathering. Repaint or touch up any metal parts that may have rusted over time, and ensure the surrounding area is well-maintained with landscaping that complements the fireplace.
Can I build an outdoor fireplace on an existing patio?
Yes, an outdoor fireplace can be built on an existing patio. However, it’s important to ensure that the patio can support the weight of the fireplace and that the location provides adequate ventilation and safety clearances. Let our team of professional landscapers assess the site and we’ll suggest the best course of action.
Is a permit required to build an outdoor fireplace?
You will need a permit to build an outdoor fireplace, especially if it involves gas lines or significant structural changes to your outdoors. However, our team ensures adherence to local building requirements during the design and construction process of fireplaces.
