Fire Pits & Fire Features in Southport, NC

About thirty five minutes from our Leland showroom, down Highway 211 or 133.

Fire pits and fire tables work particularly well on Southport's porches and waterfront-facing patios, where the draw is sitting out after dark. We handle the gas run and the install, and we can match a surround to the house rather than leaving it looking bolted on.

Fire tables, fire bowls, and custom burner systems from The Outdoor GreatRoom Company, HPC Fire, and Warming Trends bring warmth and atmosphere to your outdoor space — helping you extend your outdoor season and enjoy your patio long after temperatures drop. We'll help you choose between drop-in burners, ready-made fire tables and bowls, or a fully custom fire feature, then take care of the gas run and installation.

About Southport

Southport rewards work that suits the house. The historic district has a particular character, and a modern stainless island dropped behind a period home rarely looks right. A lot of our Southport projects lean toward finishes that sit comfortably with the architecture, whether that is stone, stucco, or a quieter fireplace surround.

Common questions

Will an outdoor kitchen suit a historic Southport home?

It can, if the finishes are chosen for the house rather than from a catalogue. Stone and stucco surrounds sit far more comfortably behind a period home than exposed stainless cabinetry does. We design to the architecture rather than dropping in a standard package.

Jeff, owner of What the Grill, did a nice job of consulting with us to help us design our outdoor kitchen. We are extremely pleased with the outcome. So far, I’ve cooked appetizers before dinner (we ate dinner out with friends) and this morning I cooked breakfast outside. The Primo ceramic grill is wonderful.
