What is CAD?

The letters CAD stand for computer-aided design.  Some refer to CAD as computer aided drafting as well. Backyard Flare uses CAD software to create plan and construction drawings for our outdoor fireplace design concepts.  By using CAD, Backyard Flare is able to provide you with professional detailed views of your outdoor fireplace and the placement of each block in the rows as you build it. CAD makes it possible to draw with exact dimensions and measurements. This insures you will receive the finest outdoor fireplace design plan possible.

Dan's 1Have you ever given any thought to building your very own masonry outdoor fireplace or fire pit?  A backyard retreat can be very relaxing and it’s not that expensive. Even if you've never built anything of this magnitude, you can build a masonry constructed fire structure. 

Even though there may be a bit of apprehension with respect to masonry and cinder block work, it’s not as difficult as it may appear.  And you can save thousands by doing it yourself. See our Testimonials for an example of how much you can save. The fireplace pictured above was built in his own backyard in Tucson, Arizona by Dan, the founder of Backyard Flare, LLC, and no contractor was used at any time.
