Fire Pit Installation in Central Florida: What You Need to Know
Gas vs. Wood-Burning
Gas: Flip a switch, no smoke, no ash. Most HOAs require gas. Needs gas line.
Wood-burning: Real campfire experience. Cheaper to install. Produces smoke – check local rules.
Popular Designs
Round stone with seating wall: Classic. 42-48 inch round pit with curved wall.
Rectangular fire table: Modern look. Gas with fire glass. Great near pools.
Sunken fire pit: Showstopper. Needs drainage engineering.
