The Tombstone

Have you ever wanted to build a gorgeous outdoor fireplace with a TV above the firebox? Well, look no further than our Tombstone fireplace design. This fireplace is only 12' wide and 48" deep at the center of the structure, and can be built with either square or curved corners as shown in the renderings below. The curved seating returns for a 3' depth on each end. The curves to the lower shelves and for the chimney give this design a wonderful and distinctive look unlike any other fireplace. The arched firebox is 40" wide with two 20" wide arched wood storage voids set back 4". This keeps the center of the fireplace the focal point of the structure. The lower shelves above the storage voids are 40" high. The 4" recessed area for the TV is 56"W x 36"T making it big enough for a 55"-60" TV. The top of the TV recessed area is 8' high, which is at the height of most pergola and patio cross beams. This fireplace is approximately 11' tall as drawn but that height can be modified if needed. Don't look any further if you want the perfect fireplace with lots of features.

I had seen outdoor kitchens and fireplaces in magazines and on TV and thought I would inquire with a contractor about having them built. I provided the contractors with example pictures of barbeques and fireplaces I liked and received quotes as high as $7,800 to build just the fireplace. more...
