PATIO

Patio Dining and Fire Pit Layout

A patio layout helps you test whether dining, relaxing and circulation fit in the same outdoor space. Begin with the door from the house, because it determines how food, guests and furniture move. Put the dining table close enough for serving, then set the fire-pit lounge farther away so the two activities do not compete. Mark a direct route between the door and the garden or gate before adding planters and benches. The result is a practical plan for arranging furniture and discussing the setup with a contractor. Revise the layout when the guest count or outdoor appliances change.
