RETREAT TO YOUR OWN BACKYARD

A fire pit is really all you need for a backyard haven, but a couple simple touches will take your outdoor space to the next level.

Your backyard can quickly become a place to retreat and relax by the fire with some small, but mighty additions.


The Essentials

  • Fire Pit: The perfect centerpiece to any backyard, a fire pit adds the ambiance, the warmth and the conversation starter.
  • The Fire: There is a duraflame® firelog for every occasion in your backyard oasis, providing the ultimate hassle-free way to set the mood. Try Crackleflame firelogs for a crackling soundtrack, or the traditional look of the stackable OUTDOOR firelogs. Just light the wrapper and you’ll have a vibrant fire going in minutes.
  • Seating: Seating is essential whether it’s just you relaxing by the fire, or a neighborhood get-together in your backyard. It can be as simple as a picnic blanket or you can invest in comfy patio seating, as long as you have a place to kick back.


Next Level Additions

  • String Lights: A string of lights only add to the comforting glow of the fire.
  • Beverage Cooler: The perfect addition to a backyard party. Always have cool drinks on hand to keep your friends and family happy and relaxed in your backyard retreat.
  • Textiles: Having blankets and pillows on hand are a simple touch to add style and comfort to your patio. Comes in handy when the sun goes down and you need extra warmth next to the fire!
  • Music: Hook up some outdoor speakers, or simply bring a bluetooth speaker fireside. If the ambiance wasn't ideal enough already, a perfectly curated playlist will add the final touch.
