Built for safety and styled to match your outdoor space, our fire features create a natural gathering place you’ll love coming back to.
Where People Naturally Gather
There’s something universal about fire — it draws people in, starts conversations, and creates an unmistakable ambiance. Whether it’s kids toasting marshmallows, adults unwinding with drinks, or a quiet solo evening under the stars, fire features make your backyard a destination. We design and build custom fire pits, fireplaces, and fire tables to fit your lifestyle. Gas or wood-burning, square or round, rustic or modern — each is crafted with premium materials like natural stone or concrete, and installed with code-compliant venting, clearances, and seating zones.

Designed to Fit Your Yard
A great fire feature is one that feels placed, not just plopped in. We think about how it fits into the landscape — visually, spatially, and functionally. Where does your family tend to gather? Is it visible from the deck or tucked into a private nook? Should it connect to a seat wall or standalone with Adirondack chairs? We build fire features that enhance the space around them — using color, shape, and placement to create visual harmony. We also plan for add-ons like lighting, gas lines, and grilling accessories for a fully integrated experience.
As a trusted North Idaho deck builder, we proudly serve Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls, Hayden, Rathdrum, and surrounding areas—bringing high-quality decks and outdoor spaces to homeowners across the region.
Use Your Backyard Longer
Fire lets you extend the seasons. With the right fire feature, your yard stays cozy on early spring nights and crisp fall evenings. It becomes a year-round gathering spot — one that keeps people outside longer and creates a comforting sense of atmosphere. It’s also a value add, both emotionally and financially, giving your landscape a focal point that never goes out of style. Whether we’re installing a built-in stone fireplace or a low-profile concrete fire pit, we make sure it’s something you’ll use and enjoy for years to come.
A fire feature instantly transforms your backyard into a four-season retreat. Whether you’re gathering with friends on cool fall nights or roasting marshmallows with your kids in the summer, a fire pit or fireplace becomes the heart of your outdoor space. At Wood Outdoor Living, we design and build custom fire features that blend seamlessly with your patio or landscape layout. From natural gas to wood-burning options, we ensure safety, comfort, and style in every detail.

Do I need a permit to install a gas fire pit in Coeur d’Alene or Post Falls?
Yes, in most North Idaho cities like Coeur d’Alene and Post Falls, installing a gas fire pit typically requires a permit. Local codes often regulate the distance from structures, gas line connections, and ventilation requirements. As a licensed general contractor, we handle all permitting and inspections for your fire feature so you don’t have to worry. We ensure your installation is fully compliant with city, county, and fire codes. Our team works closely with local municipalities to make sure your outdoor fire feature is safe, legal, and ready to enjoy.
Is a gas fire pit better than wood-burning for outdoor spaces in North Idaho?
A gas fire pit offers advantages over wood-burning options. Gas fire pits are cleaner, easier to use, and safer in high-fire-risk areas. They also require less maintenance and can be turned on/off instantly. We recommend propane or natural gas fire features for clients who want a seamless backyard experience. While wood-burning pits offer traditional charm, they can be harder to manage and may be restricted during dry months. For convenience, reliability, and style, a custom gas fire pit is often the best choice for North Idaho outdoor living spaces.
How do I maintain a fire pit or fireplace through Idaho winters?
Maintaining your fire pit is key to preserving both function and appearance. Wood Outdoor Living builds fire features using high-quality materials to withstand freezing temperatures and snow. For gas fire pits, we recommend shutting off the gas line, covering the burner with a weatherproof lid, and storing loose components indoors. Stone fireplaces should be kept clear of snow buildup. Regular inspections for cracks are helpful in preventing long-term damage. When we build your fire pit, we’ll show you how to winterize it so it lasts season after season.
Are outdoor fireplaces a good investment for home value in North Idaho?
Absolutely. A custom outdoor fire pit is one of the most sought-after features for backyard upgrades in North Idaho. These additions not only create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere but also boost your property’s curb appeal and resale value. At Wood Outdoor Living, we design fire pits that complement your home’s architecture. Homeowners love the idea of an outdoor space with built-in entertainment options, especially in four-season areas like Coeur d’Alene. Whether it's a modern gas or a rustic stone fire pit, it'll adds beauty, warmth, and value to your home.
What are the best types of fire features for North Idaho backyards?
In North Idaho, the best fire features blend durability, function, and style while withstanding seasonal weather changes. At Wood Outdoor Living, we recommend gas fire pits or built-in outdoor fireplaces made of stone or concrete. These options offer year-round enjoyment and more customizable than portable options. Whether you're in Coeur d’Alene, or Hayden, our fire features are designed to elevate your outdoor living space. We design and build each fire feature to fit your style and yard while ensuring safety and long-term performance.
