Contemporary Patio Fireplace Designs
"Steel"-ing the Spotlight!

Contemporary patio fireplace designs are "steel"-ing the spotlight, so to speak.  Made from numerous forms of steel such as Corten, galvanized and stainless  . . . . and sporting a variety of striking finishes including polished, brushed, painted, acid etched and oxidized . . . the modern outdoor hearth is quite unlike anything we've seen before!

From built-in . . . . . . . to free standing . . .

wall hanging . . . . . . . to ground hugging . . .

the patio fireplace made from steel, in all its many forms, is definitely "in!" Curved,  cast, rolled and stacked, hammered, cut and curled . . . steel is formed into a multitude of shapes and sizes to create unique and exciting outdoor hearths.

The steel can be painted, as shown in the following examples . . .

or it can be left to oxidize, as is commonly done with Corten steel,  a spe-
cial steel designed to weather or age to a rich, velvety dark brown or cop-
per patina that will improve with time. (See images below)

Some of the backyard fireplaces pictured above also double as bar-
becue grills  and are excellent for outdoor cooking.  One such model, shown again in the image at right, demonstrates  its versatility  as a fireplace hood and chimney, as well
as a fold down tabletop for use in backyard grilling.

The following two fireplaces, though very different from one another in ap-
pearance, are both made of stainless steel . . . stainless steel rods on the left and a polished stainless steel surround on the right.

And finally,  the striking wall hung torches pictured below come with stain-
less steel fronts and decorative glass embers, and make a great addition to an outdoor room!
