Building an Outdoor Fireplace (with tips from a professional mason!)
#outdoorfireplace #outdoorliving #outdoorfireplacedesign
I am SO EXCITED to share our biggest project yet!!! Our outdoor fireplace with bench seating is pretty stinking amazing and we're sharing the entire process in this video. I designed this outdoor fireplace to complement our home's French colonial exterior. We're going for an "old world French countryside" feel and I think we nailed it!
We hired a man named Tony to lay the brick and stone and he shared a ton of great tips and tricks, drawing from his 40+ years of experience as a third generation stone mason! (And he was a real sport, answering my many, MANY questions, all while having a camera in his face the entire time! Thank you Mr. Tony!) I'm thrilled he was so generous in sharing his knowledge and skill so I can pass it onto you! (If you're in the central Kentucky area and are on the hunt for a mason, I'd be happy to give you his info.)
Watch the video to see how this beautiful outdoor fireplace came together - we're covering the site prep, roughing in, stone veneer installation, and more. If you have any questions, drop them in the comment section below! And if you enjoyed this video, I'd love for you to share it! Thanks so much for watching!

    Did you know outdoor living spaces like this one greatly increases your home's value and can bring you a 60% - 80% return on investment?! Does this video inspire you to tackle a project like this one?

    Good idea about "lowering the opening" to the firebox at the last minute. It probably wouldn't have been a problem for such a massive chimney that draws well, but if there is going to be a smoke problem with a fireplace, many stem from the top (entrance) being too high. Lowering 4 or 5 inches increases draft, and of course, makes it that much harder for any smoke to get out.

    @andrewsmith31212 жыл бұрын

    Awesome project, and it was designed well to look very good. There is only one slight problem on how the seating and hearth were veneered. The horizontal slab stone should overhang the vertical veneer stone, rather than the vertical stone being in front of the horizontal hearth stone. As it is installed, there is a water penetration joint at that intersection. I understand it is not part of your house, so water intrusion is not a huge concern, but eventually, the water intrusion will damage the mortar holding the vertical veneer stone, and repairs will be necessary, especially after any wet freeze - thaw cycles. Maybe this occurred due to the size of the hearth stone that was used not being wide enough, so something to plan for to avoid this situation.
