In Western Australia, outdoor living is a way of life. Whether you’re entertaining guests, enjoying a quiet evening under the stars, or simply extending your living space, a custom outdoor fireplace can elevate your backyard into something truly special. It’s more than just a heating solution – it’s a design statement, a gathering point, and a year-round lifestyle upgrade.
If you’re considering a custom outdoor fireplace, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know, from design tips to product selection, so you can create a space that suits your style, your space, and your way of living.
Why choose a custom outdoor fireplace?
Pre-made models might seem convenient, but they often fall short on design flexibility, quality, and long-term value. A custom outdoor fireplace gives you full control over:
- Design: Match your home’s architecture and outdoor layout
- Materials: Choose finishes that are weather-resistant, durable and beautiful
- Functionality: Opt for wood, gas, or electric based on how you use the space
- Integration: Seamlessly incorporate into outdoor kitchens, seating areas or patios
- Long-term value: Add a standout feature that increases property appeal
A fireplace becomes the heart of your outdoor area – not just a heat source, but a centrepiece for comfort and connection.
At Hearth House Mandurah, we offer a premium selection of built-in outdoor fireplaces from leading brands like Escea, Regency and Heatmaster, each with their own strengths depending on your outdoor setup and personal style.
Every alfresco space is unique. That’s why it’s essential to think through these key factors before finalising your fireplace design:
1. Fuel type
- Gas: Clean-burning and convenient, gas fireplaces like the Escea EF5000 and Regency HZO42 offer instant ambience with sleek, modern designs.
- Wood-burning: If you love the crackle and scent of real timber, the Heatmaster Open Wood Fireplace provides timeless charm and radiant heat.
2. Space and layout
Think about the size of your alfresco area, traffic flow, and how the fireplace integrates with your seating or dining zones.
- A built-in fireplace is ideal for permanent zones like patios, verandahs, or custom-built enclosures.
- Consider wind protection, wall clearance, and safe distance from furniture.
3. Local climate
Mandurah’s coastal conditions call for high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials. Gas fireplaces with stainless steel bodies (like the Escea and Regency ranges) are designed to withstand salty air and seasonal changes.
