If you are the proud owner of a swimming pool in Kansas City, Leawood, or Parkville, you know that it is the most important feature of your backyard. No matter what else you have to complement it, the pool is the one thing that most people marvel about.

However, what if you want to take your pool to the next level? As one of the top luxury pool design companies in Kansas City, Parkville, and Leawood, our team at By The Blade has come up with some creative custom pool designs over the years, and many of them involve some type of fire feature.

In this article, we’ll talk about how a fire feature can enhance the entire pool experience and help set your pool apart from others in the area. You’ll also see photos of some of our favorite fire features designed and crafted by Patrick Vogt and his team.

Fire Features Make Your Living Space More Cozy

There’s something about a fire that makes people want to gather around and enjoy each other’s company. Whether it’s a decorative fire feature, an outdoor fireplace, or a fire pit, the flames from the fire seem to bring out the best in people.

When the fire is roaring, people tend to share more positive memories, tell fun stories, and share lots of laughs. It’s also a great place to gather your partner or family members to snuggle up and enjoy the warmth of one another.

Outdoor Fireplaces Can Be Great for Cooking

If you own an outdoor fireplace, it is likely a place for you and your loved ones to gather around and feel the warmth of the fire. However, it can serve a dual purpose. Many people enjoy using their fireplace for cooking!

Check out the outdoor fireplace that is featured above. This can be used for the kids to roast hot dogs or the grown-ups to try their luck at making a wood-fired pizza. There’s something about food cooked over a fire that brings out some extra flavors that you don’t experience from traditional cooking.

Cooking in an outdoor fireplace is just one of the many benefits of adding a fire feature to your pool area. When you work with By The Blade, one of the top Leawood, Parkville, and Kansas City luxury pool builders, we can make a backyard fireplace a part of your outdoor living area.

Firepits are Great for the Kids!

Most parents are very reluctant to have kids around the fire, especially a bonfire. However, with a gas firepit, it’s a much more calm and safe atmosphere. The flames are much more contained are far enough from everyone where they feel safe.

You won’t have to worry about sparks popping or flare-ups. A controlled gas fire pit is a great way to get that bonfire feel but in a more comfortable way. Your kids can enjoy roasting marshmallows and making those messy s’mores while everyone makes memories to last a lifetime.
