Outdoor Propane Gas Fireplaces & Fire Columns

An outdoor propane gas fireplace gives you a real, visible flame and radiant warmth on your patio without wood, smoke, ash or a fixed gas line. Our freestanding fireplaces and 360° fire columns are designed by Planika in Europe, run on a standard 20 lb propane tank, and deliver 27,300 to 34,120 BTU depending on the model. Chic Home Deco is an authorized Planika dealer in the United States, with free shipping to the lower 48 states from Planika's New Jersey warehouse.

Fire column or fire table?

Choose a fire column (Lighthouse, Pyramid, Faro or Bino) if you want height, a strong visual focal point and warmth for people standing or sitting around it. Choose a gas fire table (Rio or Square) if you want the flame at seating height and a usable tabletop for drinks and food. For the most heat and presence, the Lighthouse is the top pick. For tight spaces, the Bino is the most compact.

Outdoor gas fireplace FAQ

What is the difference between an outdoor gas fireplace and a patio heater?

A traditional patio heater heats from a burner head on a pole. A freestanding gas fireplace or fire column shows a real flame behind glass, so it works as a fire feature and a heater at the same time.

Do these fireplaces need a natural gas line?

No. Every model in this collection runs on liquid propane (LP) from a standard 20 lb tank, so no gas line or professional installation is needed. Follow the included manual for connection and safety clearances.

How much heat do they produce?

Between 27,300 and 34,120 BTU per hour at full flame, depending on the model. The flame height is adjustable, so you can lower it for a softer glow and longer burn time.

Can I use them indoors or in an enclosed space?

No. These propane fireplaces are for outdoor use only and need open airflow around them.

Is shipping free?

Yes. Planika models ship free to the 48 contiguous states and DC from Planika's warehouse in New Jersey.
