Yardzen co-founders, Allison and Adam Messner, at home in the Bay Area with their Solo Stove At Yardzen, we love fire pits for many reasons: they serve as the perfect focal point in a yard (both front and back), they encourage day-to-night, year-round alfresco enjoyment, and they are a low-cost way to add functionality to your outdoor space.
When designing your outdoor fire pit, there are a number of things to keep in mind to maximize safety, style, and enjoyment. Our favorite thing about Solo Stove is that they are ultra efficient and low smoke, making them the most sustainable wood-burning fire pit available.
Make your new fire pit your favorite place in your yard by outfitting it with comfortable furniture and cozy styling. We also love the look of placing Adirondack chairs around a fire pit, which invites conversation and s’mores roasting long into the evening.
Cafe lights overhead help transition your space from day to night, and don’t forget a throw and a couple of pillows for a beautiful, lived-in look!
