Choose a Style of Brazier Adapted to Your Taste

As an outdoor fireplace, the brazier is a trend in outdoor design.

If you are a fan of design, choose a cast iron brazier. However, if you are more into contemporary style, a corten steel brazier will be more suitable. And if you are on the side of people looking for authenticity, a terracotta model will do the trick.

Determine the Location of the Brazier

You need to think carefully about the location of your brazier in relation to the patio and garden design. The brazier should be installed on a stable surface to prevent the device from tipping over and on a floor covering that can withstand heat, such as a concrete slab.

Also, place your brazier in a dry and windless area so that it does not fill with water. If possible, have a protective cover installed.

Installing a Brazier

Installing a brazier is easy if it’s a mobile brazier because you just have to move it to your deck. This model is ideal for all decks (attached, raised, or suspended).

Call a Professional To Install an Underground Brazier

If you are installing an underground brazier, it is essential to contact a masonry professional. They are in the best position to know what types of materials are suitable for installing a brazier on your patio. Be aware that the buried brazier is ideal for a garden terrace.

In addition, for more safety, provide your brazier with a cover, especially if you have a wooden deck. Moreover, using a brazier requires special attention because of the risk of fire. That’s why you should place it far from flammable objects.
