When the time comes and you need to store your furniture, selecting a patio furniture set that is easily portable will save you time and stress.</p>
<h3>Store Patio Furniture Easily</h3>
<p>Some patio furniture is easier to store than others such as patio chairs that are stackable. Stackable patio chairs save space whether they are in use or not. They can also be easily stored in your garage and are readily available for when you need them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-393" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;" title="ol_02" src="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/ol_02.jpg" alt="" width="144" height="146" />Many families love to enjoy their outdoor space even in colder temperatures by purchasing an outdoor fire pit, and understandably so. The warmth of the fire and the ambiance it creates is a great addition to any night spent outside.</p>
<p>If you have an <a title="outdoor fireplace" href="http://www.directoutdoorliving.com/fireplace.aspx" target="_blank">outdoor fireplace</a> installed, you will have to meet certain safety codes which should ensure that your fireplace is safe with proper use. However, when using an outdoor fire pit, be sure to take these safety precautions:</p>
<p>Be sure to keep your fire pit at least 10 feet away from your home and anything else that may be combustible.</p>
<p>It’s best not to place a fire pit on a wooden deck or patio.</p>
<p>Don’t place your fire pit under limbs that can ignite from flying sparks.</p>
<p>Be sure to make certain the fire is completely out at the end of the night. Coals buried in the ashes can ignite if left unattended.</p>
<p>A fire pit is a great way to spend more time outdoors on chilly afternoons or evenings, just be sure to take the necessary steps to make sure the evening is nothing but enjoyable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-80" style="margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 6px;" title="ol_16" src="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/ol_16.jpg" alt="" width="198" height="193" />Nothing adds a touch of atmosphere, romance, and comfort to a cool evening like an outdoor fireplace. If you don’t have the space for a full-fledged fireplace, you’re still in luck with a wide variety of outdoor fire pits on the market today.</p>
<p>An <a title="outdoor fireplace" href="http://www.directoutdoorliving.com/fireplace.aspx" target="_blank">outdoor fireplace</a> or fire pit is the perfect addition to make your outdoor space feel comfy and cozy. You can choose from several different types:</p>
<p><strong>Wood</strong> – most people love the smell of real wood burning and the taste it infuses into food when grilling.</p>
<p><strong>Gas</strong> – this choice costs more than a wood burning pit, but it is easy to clean-up and turn on/off.</p>
<p><strong>Propane</strong> – depending on their efficiency, some propane fire pits use less fuel to produce a good radius of heat. Like their natural gas counterparts, propane fire pits are also easy to clean and turn on/off.</p>
