Shaped as Grecian urns, end tables or campfires, gas fire pits can add light, beauty and warmth to any garden, patio or deck. These beautiful small fires can safely warm your feet as you sip sangrias on the deck, or you can roast marshmallows over a blazing fire encircled with granite or slate. Whatever style you choose, gas fire pits provide clean-burning flames that ignite easily and last all night. Surprisingly, they give off very little ambient heat at the correct setting, which is as a focal point to a conversation area, but can also be turned up on those few Cayman nights when the mercury dips into the 70’s.

Gas fire pits can be custom built or purchased pre-built. The components nearest the flame are typically made of steel, aluminum, porcelain or other strongly heat-resistant metals. The outer structure is usually square or circular, allowing for seating all around, but other custom shapes can be made to fit into your patio or deck design. This outer structure can be made of metal, stone, masonry or fire-retardant resin. Resin fire pits can be formed to simulate other materials and textures, like stone and wicker.
Most gas fire pits can be adapted for use with natural gas lines from the home or with self-contained propane tanks. Propane gas fire pits made of lighter weight materials like resin are portable and can be easily moved to suit specific entertaining needs. Many gas fire pits come with custom fitted metal or ceramic covers that protect them from the elements and allow them to be used as another table when a fire is not needed. Small, decorative table-top fire pits add an understated element of beauty and warmth to outdoor seating.

We have used units purchased and installed by Home Gas with tremendous success – the owners that have them would not be without them, as we plumb them in directly from the same source as that is used for their outdoor kitchens, gas-fired dryers, water heaters and gas ranges.
