Composite Applications For Barbeque & Fire Pit Areas
Barbeques & Fire Pits
The spirit of Australia is synonymous with barbeques and campfires. Whether you’ve escaped to the bush for the weekend or are unwinding after your commute home from the office, there’s no better way to end the day than enjoying a barbeque and a fire with family and friends. Incorporating a composite decking feature around your barbeque and or fire pit can add a touch of functionality, class, and value to your property.
Benefits of Eva-Last Composite
Eva-Last composite products are an ideal material to use as decking, seating, or storage around your barbeque or fire pit area. The durable, and weather resistant nature of composite ensures fading, moisture, staining, scratching, and maintenance are a thing of the past. With the added benefit of composite materials having a natural wood-look, this ensures a beautiful aesthetic finish as well.
Choosing the best composite
The Eva-Last composite decking ranges are suitable for around the barbeques or fire pit, dependent on your personal needs and wants, as each brand offers different features and benefits.
However, our recommendation around a barbeque area would be Infinity. Its highly resilient protective cap makes it the most practical choice, where there could be fats and oils that drop onto the deck. The polymer capping on Infinity means it is easier to clean and wipe up spills and splatters.
The cleaning and maintenance regime differs slightly by brand, and can be found as guides by brand on the website. It is, however, always advisable to mop up spills and splashes with warm soapy water when they occur.
In terms of fire pits, as well as hot coal barbeques, it should be noted that hot embers that fall onto any composite decking can damage the surface of the deck, leaving irreparable pocked burn marks. If you do prefer an open flame barbeque, we recommend barbequing off the deck or opting for a concreate, paved or tiled area below the barbeque, finishing off with composite decking around the area. There are also protective mats on the market, which could be used while you are barbequing.
The key to the perfect fire pit area is seating. The low maintenance, splinter free nature of Eva-Last composites make them an excellent choice when creating a comfortable seating area around your fire pit. If it’s a flip-top bench storage solution you would like to incorporate, the lightweight nature of Apex Plus would be the best choice.
When designing your fire pit, it is always advisable for your seating area to be at least 1.5 – 2 meters away from the fire pit, as this would ensure any flying hot embers do not land on the composite material.
Whether it’s a barbeques area, a fire pit, or both, using either of the Eva-last composite decking brands offers highly practical, durable, and beautiful choices that will last for years to come and add incredible aesthetic and financial value to your home, outdoor venue, or hotel.
