    Bella Pools by Design builds custom concrete pools only. We do not offer fiberglass or vinyl pool builds or renovations.

Outdoor fire features offer far more than warmth and comfort in colder months: we can make artistic use of natural flame, treating fire as a unique, organic design element that adds alluring lighting and timeless, captivating beauty.

With a variety of fire feature options, some functional and other purely aesthetic, Bella Pools by Design will transform your Central North Carolina back yard into a cohesive, integrated outdoor living space with all of the unique design touches and functionality you desire.

Outdoor Fireplaces

We design and build gas and wood-burning outdoor fireplaces in a huge variety of styles to compliment and accentuate the look of your custom hardscape.

Frequently Asked Outdoor Fireplace Questions

  • What are the benefits of adding a fire feature to my outdoor space?

    A fire feature built by Bella Pools by Design creates a warm, inviting atmosphere and serves as a natural gathering spot for family and friends. It also makes your outdoor space usable in cooler months and adds a striking focal point to your backyard.

  • What’s the difference between a fire pit and an outdoor fireplace?

    Fire pits are typically open and circular, making them great for social settings where people can sit all around the flames. An outdoor fireplace, on the other hand, has a defined structure with a chimney that directs smoke upward, creating a cozier and more enclosed space. When you have your design consultation with a custom fire feature builder from Bella Pools by Design, we will cover your options and see what works best for your goals and outdoor living space.

  • Are fire pots a good alternative to traditional fire pits?

    Yes! Fire pots are smaller, decorative flame features that add ambiance without taking up as much space. A fire pot added to your space by Bella Pools by Design is great for accenting patios, poolside lounges, or seating areas.

  • Can a fire feature be installed near my pool?

    Yes! Bella Pools by Design installs fire features like fire bowls, fire walls, and torches to complement your custom pool designs. We carefully plan placement and follow all safety precautions to create a stunning and secure setup.

  • What fuel options are available for outdoor fireplaces and fire pits?

    Bella Pools by Design offers both wood-burning and gas-powered fire feature options. Wood-burning fireplaces and pits give you that classic campfire experience, while gas-powered features offer cleaner burning, easy ignition, and remote control operation.

  • How much maintenance does an outdoor fire feature require?

    Gas fire features need very little upkeep—just occasional burner cleaning and gas flow checks. Wood-burning options require more maintenance, such as clearing out ash and cleaning chimneys or vents. When you meet with your builder from Bella Pools by Design, we will cover all the details about how to best care for the feature you choose to install.

  • Can I control my fire feature remotely?

    Yes! Many gas-powered fire features, including fire pots and fire walls, installed by Bella Pools by Design can be controlled through a mobile app. You can adjust the flame height and turn it on or off with just a tap on your phone.

  • Do outdoor fireplaces and fire pits add value to a home?

    Absolutely. Fire features built by Bella Pools by Design make outdoor spaces more functional and visually appealing, which can increase home value. Buyers love well-designed outdoor areas, and a stylish fire feature is a great selling point.

  • What safety precautions should I consider when installing a fire feature?

    Proper ventilation, safe distance from structures, and using fire-resistant materials are all important. Our team at Bella Pools by Design makes sure your fire feature is installed with safety in mind so you can enjoy it worry-free.

  • How do I choose the right fire feature for my backyard?

    It depends on your space, style, and how you want to use it. Whether you’re looking for a large stone fireplace, a sleek fire table, or a decorative fire pot, the design team at Bella Pools by Design will help you find the perfect fit for your outdoor area.
