You can see the similarities and differences between the Barrington and Bremley models.
The two fireplaces share the same firebox. Only their smoke chambers and chimneys differ.

Just because our outdoor kits are affordable, it doesn't mean they are cheap. Your fireplace kit is a high-quality, high performance fire feature. These kits are not small and stripped of features.

Even if you have someone build this kit for you, you will save money. Traditional fireplaces are expensive to build. You have to meet with a mason or installer to go over your wants.

In the end, you hope the design is what you had in mind. All this expensive pre-work has been done for you. You can know exactly what you are getting when you order a kit. By cutting out the middle man, you save even more!
The most obvious value is the extra time you will be spending outside with family, friends, or neighbors. Unwinding in nature- at home- after a stressful day is probably the best return on investment. But it doesn't end there. Outdoor living spaces add more value to the resell of your house than an expensive kitchen remodel. Fireplaces are one of the most sought after features. By saving money on a kit and installing it yourself, you get an even greater return.
Stress related ailments is the leading cause of doctor visits. Studies show being outside for as little as
20 minutes can have health improving benefits. Give yourself a reason to go outside for 3.5 seasons with a great outdoor living space.
