Step by step: Building a brick garden fireplace
A brick garden fireplace requires, first and foremost, a suitable design and the right location. When building a brick garden fireplace, you must first create its foundations, then the base and the hearth. For these activities, you should use fire-resistant concrete, reinforcement, formwork boards, fireclay bricks, clinker bricks and fireclay mortar, as well as appropriate thermal insulation. Building a garden fireplace also requires a chimney to vent the fumes outside, for which a chimney insert and cap are needed. The final stage is the finishing in the form of stone or concrete slabs or heat-resistant plaster, painted with fire-resistant paint.
