If you are looking for an interesting way to add a heat source to your patio, an outdoor fire table will accomplish two goals.
It adds an open flame, but also a table to place your feet, food, and beverages.
Fire Bowl Surrounded by a Table A fire table is a fire bowl surrounded by a table.
They are usually about the height of a coffee table, and they do have an open flame.
They can be very handy when you need a place to put your drinks and s'mores food.
The flame is open, but it is contained in the center of the surface.
There is no way that you will be chilled when you put your patio chairs around the table.
Great for Families A fire table is safer for families with pets and children because the fire is surrounded with the table top around the fire.
It will be more difficult for a child to reach across the table to burn their fingers.
No matter what type of open flame you have burning in your yard, you should always keep your eyes on your children and pets so that they do not get burned.
Resort-Like Back Yard As more and more people have access to fine resorts, they are turning their back yards into spaces that resemble fine resorts.
One of the biggest necessities for a great outdoor looking resort, some kind fire bowl, fire pit, or fire table is the best way to make your back yard look like a high class, luxury resort.
Comfortable Furniture Many people are not just adding outdoor fireplaces, but indoor/outdoor rugs, pillows, and furniture.
When you add a fire table to those comfortable and homey decorator pieces, you make your backyard look more like an interior room.
Invest in Furniture Covers One thing that you should be sure to do if you spend a lot of money on outdoor decor is purchase furniture covers.
If you think that rain and snow does the most damage to outdoor furniture, you are mistaken.
Sun damages patio furniture by dulling the fabric and breaking down the fabrics.
Furniture covers will protect it in the summer sun.
If you live in an area of the country that has a distinctly cold winter, you should bring your furniture inside so that it is not damaged in the cold weather.
When you take care of your furniture and patio heaters, everything will last a long time.
