			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I saw the first daffodil bloom today.  Hopefully, it’s a sign that spring is just around the corner.  It’s also a sign that we spend more time on our patio during the day and night.  It can still be a bit cool at night and we will still be using our outdoor fireplaces.</p>
<p>Dry leaves are still falling and now you have new foliage blooming.  Keep sparks contained that possible fly out of your outdoor fireplace with a protective screen.  These are no different than those you find for indoor fireplaces and are as equally important.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/fire-pit.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2763" title="Fire Pit Screen" src="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/fire-pit.jpg" alt="Fire Pit Screen" width="308" height="231" /></a><strong>Outdoor Fire Screens Protect Patio Furnishings and People</strong></p>
<p>Outdoor fire screens are designed to fit many of the different shaped <a href="http://www.directoutdoorliving.com/fireplace.aspx">fire pits, fire rings, and chimineas</a> we find on and around our patio areas.  They provide an important layer of protection not only to patio furnishings but people who are sitting around the fire.</p>
<p>An outdoor fire normally draws much more air than an indoor fireplace.  This can make coals more susceptible to sparking and flying.  Even the smallest of embers can burn holes in patio cushions, outdoor rugs, and more.  They can also ignite dried leaves or twigs that have fallen around your backyard.</p>
<p>Fire safety is important inside and outside.  Get the protection you need by adding a fire screen to your outdoor heating element.  You’ll be creating a perfect barrier between you and those hot coals and flying embers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-294" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;" title="gdb_27" src="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/gdb_27.jpg" alt="" width="138" height="100" />Creating an outdoor space which can be used year-round is becoming easier with the help of outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, and heaters.  Now it’s true, there are some areas of the country where you can’t sit out for extended lengths of time during the winter but even for a little while, there are many ways to make your patio enjoyable during colder weather.</p>
<p>Outdoor livings spaces have been quite the trend for the past ten years or so.  Many homeowners view it as an opportunity to relax just as much on the patio as they do in the living room.  Outdoor fire pits, fireplaces, or heaters go a long way in making your outdoor area a gathering spot or focal point, particularly in cold weather.</p>
<p>There are laws in some towns and cities concerning burning wood or having open flames in your yard, so make sure you check the regulations where you live.  Even in these circumstances, there are many fireplace designs which use natural or propane gas.  With a myriad of aesthetic designs and energy sources, there is certainly just the right outdoor heating product to help keep you warm as you chill out on a cool night in your backyard patio area.</p>
<p>For everything you need to make your <a title="patio" href="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/" target="_blank">patio</a> and <a title="outdoors" href="http://www.directoutdoorliving.com/" target="_blank">outdoors</a> an inviting space to relax and entertain, <a title="DirectBuy " href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/" target="_blank">DirectBuy </a>is your number one source.
