It's never too late to get started on your summer backyard projects. While it may seem intimidating at first to create your own dream patio design, these do-it-yourself ideas are sure to give you the motivation you need to dive into your outdoor projects.
Build Your Own Gas Fire Pit Feature
When designing your own fire pit table, it's essential to get the very best propane or natural gas burner pan in the industry for the project. Before you start shopping for your DIY gas burner, make a list of priorities.
- Safety
Typically a safe DIY burner pan is at the top of the list. When searching for the right burner for your project, look for one that's UL Listed for safety and quality. UL listed certification requires very strict testing standards to ensure safety in the outdoor elements. When it comes to your home and family's fire pit, a safe UL Listed fire pit is worth every penny.
- Easy to install and maintain
When building your own propane or natural gas fire pit, the ease of installation and use makes a major difference for your outside projects. The burner set should be user-friendly and easy to clean. Once your project's completed, the last thing you want to do is spend hours cleaning the burner. The ease of maintaining your gas burner is mostly due to the construction and design.
Outdoor-rated construction plays a major role in your DIY burner. Commercial grade #304 stainless steel combined with state-of-the-art design creates a durable burner you can rely on for your projects. #304 stainless steel can withstand the heat and offers a longer lifespan for your DIY fire pit burner than other materials. A good test to ensure you're getting a quality burner is the warranty. When purchasing a burner, inquire about the manufacturer's warranty.
- Style
Part of the reasoning for your exterior projects is for the looks! Look for an outdoor burner that provides the upscale design you deserve on your patio or deck. Full, realistic flames with cozy warmth make for the perfect focal point in your backyard. Consider a variety of burner pan shapes and sizes, or even design a custom burner for that unique backyard look!
