Why Texas Homeowners Love Custom Fire Pit Tables

Our Texas ancestors relied on campfires and bonfires for warmth, light and protection. A crackling fire is woven into our history and our culture. 

A custom fire pit table is a sleek, modern way to pay tribute to the way we’ve lived here for centuries. 

Here are 3 timeless reasons why a fire table is the perfect design feature for Texas backyards.

Extended Outdoor Living

It’s rarely too cold to spend some time outside in Texas. But when cold winter temperatures drive your neighbors inside, you’ll stay cozy near the warmth of your fire table.

Rest your coffee, hot cocoa or glass of red wine on the table, pull up a chair, and enjoy the game or a good book.

And when the lights go out and the sun goes down, trust your fire table to keep your party going (and glowing) well into the night.

A Natural Gathering Place

Fire attracts people to meet, gather and spend time together. It’s been this way for thousands of years — but you don’t need a dingy, ash-filled dirt pile to host your modern campfire.

A custom fire table offers multi-purpose gathering options. Eat and drink with a natural tabletop surface, make s’mores, or simply chat by the fire — all protected by tempered glass surrounds.

Instant Conversation Starter

The roar of a fire, coupled with an unexpected upscale style — guests won’t be able to stop talking about your custom fire table. And what better place to have that conversation than sitting around your new outdoor design feature?

Whether you’re talking sports, family events, or your gorgeous new outdoor living area, your new fire table keeps the chat going long into the evening.

8 Great Questions to Ask Us About Your Fire Pit Table

Every good design-build journey is based on an open, collaborative dialogue between you and your team. We’ll assign you a dedicated Outdoor Living Designer, Construction Coordinator and Construction Supervisor to ensure smooth, clear communication.

When you meet your team, here are 8 great questions to ask us about your new, custom-crafted fire pit table. We’ve provided some general answers here to get the conversation started.

Should I choose a gas or wood fire pit?  

Think of it like cooking. Both options are great and offer their own advantages and drawbacks. It’s up to your preferences — and your time constraints. It’s much easier to start a gas fire table with an electronic ignition system or from your smartphone. 

What size and shape would you recommend for my space and intended use?

This all depends on the size of your intended outdoor living zone. Is your fire table going on the patio, the pool deck, under a pergola? Our outdoor living designers collaborate with each homeowner to discover thoughtful dimensions that best fit their usable space.

Can we incorporate specific design elements to match my existing home and outdoor space?

You can, and you should! Our outdoor living designers customize each element and feature of your outdoor living area to compliment your home’s existing architecture and your other existing outdoor zones. The result is a seamless indoor-outdoor design.

How much propane will my fire pit table use?

This depends heavily on your preset flame height and climate variables like wind. As an average rule, a 20-pound propane tank on a medium flame height can last 20-30 hours without much concern. 

Can I turn on my fire feature with my phone?

Absolutely. We offer custom fire tables with remote app integration — it sure beats using old tree bark and a match.

Do I need a permit for my fire feature?

Simple answer: If it’s a wood burning fire table, usually no. If it’s a gas fire pit or fire table, most towns require a plumbing permit to run the gas line.

Do you offer a workmanship warranty on my fire feature?

Allied Outdoor Solutions offers a 1 year workmanship warranty from the date of completion on all general construction projects. 

How can I care for my fire table’s natural stone?

Keep your stone clean with regular washes using a gentle mixture of dish soap and lukewarm water. Read the General Masonry section of our Allied Product Care Guide for specific details.

Why Prefab Fire Pits Are Never the Right Answer

Yes, prefabricated fire pit tables offer convenience and often a lower initial cost. But they come with 4 inherent drawbacks and shortcomings compared to a custom-built feature.

• Limitations in design and aesthetics: A standardized look never sets your design apart. Limited material choices often equals a lack of high-end elements and finishes, and “from the box” designs mean zero personalization options.
• Compromises in size: You’re stuck with fixed dimensions that may not be ideal for your usable space. A custom build is sized to fit your personal needs — like functional space, intended use, and number of seats.
• Compromises in functionality: The burner system in a prefab fire table is fixed. You won’t have the option to choose the exact BTU output, ignition type, or fuel source that best suits your needs and existing utilities.
• Durability and quality issues: The construction quality of prefabricated units is never as robust as a custom-built table crafted by experienced professionals. This can impact the longevity and stability of the fire pit table.

At Allied Outdoor Solutions, we offer custom fire feature designs unique to each new homeowner. We like to think outside the box — not build from inside one.
