Q: How big should a fire pit be?

• <div><p>How big a fire pit should be depends on how many people you want to get around it on a regular basis, and how big your space is. The average fire pit size is between 36 and 44 inches. However, if you regularly host big gatherings and have the appropriate outdoor space, you can go as big as 72 inches.</p></div>

Q: Can you put a quartz countertop outside?

• <div><p>While quartz countertops are durable indoors, they are not made for outdoor use. Exposure to sunlight, weather, and even heat from barbeque grills can cause the resins to break down, impacting the surface.</p></div>

Q: Do you need planning permission for an outdoor kitchen?

• <div><p>In many cases, you will not need permits to install an outdoor kitchen because it&rsquo;s not usually considered a permanent structure and doesn&rsquo;t require a foundation. If you run natural gas lines to a grill, plumbing lines to an outdoor sink, or electrical lines for lighting and power, your contractor will likely need to pull permits.</p><p>However, every municipality is different, so you should defer to a professional outdoor kitchen contractor to confirm which portions of your outdoor kitchen project require building permits.</p></div>

Q: What is the ideal height for a pizza oven?

• <div><p>The best height for a pizza oven is one that allows the user to easily see what&rsquo;s going on inside and comfortably place pies without having to crouch over. In general, that means the opening should be between 36 and 48 inches off the ground. By contrast, the height of the dome is totally up to your preference, because different heights create different results. Shorter domes are better for creating Neapolitan-style pies, whereas taller domes are ideal for NY-style recipes.</p></div>
