Popular questions
What fire pit materials work best for Wellington's coastal climate?
Natural stone, fire bricks, and marine-grade steel perform excellently in Wellington’s coastal environment. We recommend proper drainage, wind barriers, and appropriate sealers to resist salt air and moisture. Our expertise in local conditions ensures your fire pit maintains its safety and beauty through all seasons.
Do fire pit installations require council consent in Wellington?
Most fire pit installations require council approval due to fire safety regulations and building codes. Our team is well-versed in Wellington, Kapiti and Hutt Valley council fire regulations and can manage the entire consent process, ensuring all safety requirements and building codes are met before construction begins.
How do you ensure fire pit safety and compliance?
Fire safety is our top priority. We incorporate proper clearances from buildings and vegetation, appropriate ventilation, safety barriers, and fire-resistant materials. Each fire pit includes comprehensive safety features and meets all council fire regulations, with full safety instructions provided upon completion.
What's the difference between wood-burning and gas fire pits?
Wood-burning fire pits provide traditional ambiance with crackling sounds and wood smoke aroma but require more maintenance and fuel preparation. Gas fire pits offer instant ignition, adjustable flames, and easier maintenance but require gas connections. Both create excellent gathering spaces with different maintenance and operational characteristics.
How do you manage smoke and wind considerations?
Wellington’s wind patterns require careful fire pit positioning and design. We incorporate wind barriers, proper chimney effects, and strategic placement to minimise smoke issues while maintaining safety clearances. Our local expertise ensures optimal performance in Wellington’s unique wind conditions while protecting neighbours from smoke impacts.
Can custom fire pits increase property value?
Absolutely. Well-designed fire pits significantly increase property appeal and market value by creating unique entertainment spaces, extending outdoor living seasons, and providing distinctive lifestyle features. Quality fire features are highly sought-after amenities in Wellington’s property market, especially for outdoor entertaining enthusiasts.
