The great outdoors is alive and well this fall in the form of the backyard fire pit or chimenea from Patio Preserve!

Autumn is a perfect time to light up a fire and stay warm and cozy on those cooler nights near a fire pit or chimenea. The trend is an extension of the move toward using the backyard as additional livable space. Fires have always promoted socializing--since the stone age! So round up the family, friends or neighbors, add some refreshments, good laughs and sit around a warm and inviting fire. Fire pit entertaining is much cheaper than going out, and so much more relaxing!

Fire Pits 101
Fire pits, in general, are open vessels that can be used for warmth, beauty, atmosphere, and/or cooking. Available in a wide range of materials and sizes, most are enclosed with steel mesh or glass. They sit up off the ground, allow for 360 degree viewing, and are becoming increasingly popular as people strive to get more use out of their outdoor living spaces. Many of the fire pits can double as charcoal grills and offer various screen and grill options. The best and most popular fuel for outdoor fireplaces is hard wood. Alternative sources of fuel include manufactured fire logs, natural gas, propane and gel inserts. With their raised level, Patio Preserve all-weather fire pits will never stain your deck or patio. Patio Preserve fire pits retail from $138 to $280 with free ground shipping.

Chimeneas 101
From their origins as simple clay wood-burning fireplaces from Mexico, chimenea materials have evolved over the years to last longer and adhere to harsh weather elements. Chimeneas have an opening in the front and a short "chimney" for the smoke. Patio Preserve’s cast aluminum and iron chimeneas resist rust, require very little maintenance, and can be easily moved during a wind change or patio re-arrangement. With their raised level, the chimeneas will also not stain your deck or patio. Patio Preserve all-weather chimeneas retail from to $123 to $794 with free ground shipping.

Autumn Garden Urns

All-weather Planters & Urns for Stylish yet Practical Fall Container Gardening

Patio Preserve all-weather garden urns provide the perfect spot for your upcoming autumn container gardening—and they’re maintenance-free—adhering to the latest weather-friendly outdoor material trend.

Fall is wonderful time to spend outdoors and enjoy fall perennials like Japanese anemones and asters —and container planting is a very popular method of gardening this time of year. Whether fall gardening is done on the patio, porch or deck; flowers and plants in garden urns can always be used to highlight, illuminate, accent and decorate outdoor living areas. Additional classic fall perennials for garden urns include ceratostigma, cimicifuga, coreopsis, perovskia (Russian sage), and sedum (Stonecrop).

Other urns on the market, such as ceramic and terracotta urns, have to be emptied, cleaned and stored in a protected area because moisture in their pores will freeze, causing them to chip and flake. Patio Preserve’s cast iron garden urns are made of high quality brass and stainless steel hardware with a high-grade polyester powder coat finish providing a long lasting finish that will maintain its appearance for years to come, and best of all require little maintenance.

How to Choose a Garden Urn
· Place garden urns in areas for maximum visual impact. Add two large garden urns on either side of your front door for an elegant and dramatic effect.

· Garden urns should be proportionate to the size of the area you put it in. Never place a very large garden urn in a small area.

· Make sure the garden urn you choose has a drainage hole to prevent water from stagnating inside.
