Customizing Your Linear Gas Fire Pit Design

Are you planning a fire pit installation for your backyard? If you have picked out a fire pit design but want to make it a little more uniquely your own, consider customizing your linear gas fire pit design. Pavers are one of the best ways to make a fire pit design and space unique to you and your yard needs.

Here at Western Interlock, we are committed to providing you with high-quality hardscape supplies and paving stones to support you in creating an outdoor space that you love.

In this blog post, we look at the process of making a custom linear gas fire pit design that will fit you and your family’s needs.

1. Select the Right Pavers

The first step to customizing your fire pit design with pavers is to select pavers compatible with gas fire pit installations. Various kinds of pavers will work for this type of design. We recommend selecting pavers made of concrete, natural stone, or porcelain to get the best look and the most durability and heat resistance—all of which are very necessary for a fire pit.

Be selective in the aesthetics of the pavers you choose. The color, texture, and size of your pavers should be something that will complement your outdoor space and that you will enjoy for years to come.

2. Design a Linear Layout

The second step for designing your custom fire pit is to select a linear layout option. Depending on your preferences for your outdoor setting and what type of gathering space you prefer, you can choose a straight, L-shaped, or rectangular design.

The fire pit design needs to fit the space you have available and most easily accommodate the amount of seating you want around the fire. As you design, consider what type of space you are working with—is it a patio? Are you building a fire pit beside your pool? All these factors contribute to the type of design that will serve you best.

3. Add Unique Features

Once you have selected pavers and settled on the main points of your design, it’s time to add any unique features you want. This is the perfect time to personalize the final result of your fire pit. Be creative as you think of ways to make the fire pit design unique to you and your backyard.

Whether it is built-in seating walls, decorative glass inserts for the fire pit, or custom lighting features, these unique touches are great ways to customize the space and make it cohesive and inviting. Small additions to the design not only add to the aesthetic appeal of your space but also make it more functional.

4. Ensure Safety and Compliance

Finally, as you design and install your custom fire pit, ensure that you follow all the local codes and regulations for fire pits. Safety should be your top priority. Does your fire pit have proper ventilation? Have you safely installed the fuel line? You may need to consult with a professional fireplace installer or a contractor to make sure you comply with all the safety regulations you need to consider.
