Most of us would not think winter as an optimal time to install a fire pit, however   [CST](http://www.cstpavers.com/hardscape-accessories-and-kits/fire-pit-kit) or [EP Henry](https://www.ephenry.com/products/outdoor-living-solutions/fire-pits/) Segmental [Fire Pit Kits](https://www.disabatinoinc.com/services/outdoor-fireplaces-fire-pits/) can be easily installed on a crushed compact base any time of the year. Similarly, a custom designed fire pit can be installed when temperatures are above freezing.

The [benefits of fire pits](https://www.disabatinoinc.com/fall-means-fire-pits/) are many –they make the outdoors a year round gathering spot. The winter night sky is a beautiful thing and being able to gaze at the vibrant stars by the warmth of a roaring fire is perhaps the biggest benefit.

## **7 Benefits of Installing a Fire Pit:**

1. **Extends Entertainment Space:**  While home addition may not be in your budget, if your home is limited on entertainment space – why not extend it by adding a fire pit to your back yard?
2. **Affordable:** Fire Pits are very economical and can be built quite quickly.
3. **Ambiance:** Whether you sit around it to keep good conversations going or you roast marshmallows in it, they are a great option to add charm and comfort to your parties
4. **Warmth:** A fire pit can make staying comfortable outside in colder weather possible, as they are an excellent heat source.
5. **Romantic:** Sitting around a fire having drinks, dinner and a conversation can be very romantic.  Keep away from the modern distractions by disconnecting from electronics and reconnecting with your sweetheart.
6. **Cooking:** Roasting hot dogs, marshmallows, shish kebobs and [foil dinners](http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2013/07/30-delicious-tin-foil-dinners.html) can become a terrific family tradition and a great way to catch up with the kids at the end of a long busy week.
