Outdoor Living
A rapidly growing number of Atlantans
are leaving their homes and heading outdoors to their
outdoor living rooms to cook, congregate, and enjoy its
ambiance. The outdoor living room includes a
fireplace or fire pit, a cooking station, and
comfortable furniture and is something Americans have
been investing increasingly large sums of money in for
the last decade. In a 2005 survey taken by the Hearth,
Patio & Barbeque Association, Americans spent nearly
$150 billion on home remodeling and one-third of that
went towards outdoor living areas. The survey also
showed that 80 percent of Americans feel that an outdoor
living space is important to them. And while 35 percent
already have one, 34 percent are planning to design one
in the next few years, at which point, 67 percent plan
to purchase an outdoor fireplace or pit. The American
Society of Landscape Architects confirms this: Fire pits
and outdoor fireplaces top their list of biggest trends
for 2007. Bottom line – sales of outside fireplaces are
blazing.
