Flexibility of A Modular Design - Over 220 configurations
All Flare Outdoor Fireplaces are modular in format, allowing design flexibility to suit your particular needs. Add a large variety of textures and surface treatments to the equation and there are over 220 different configurations – seldom are two fireplaces the same.
Flexibility of Use
Wood fired, BBQ cooking facilities or gas fired – the choice is yours. Flare Outdoor Fireplaces are designed to be used with the option of two different fuel sources - gas or wood. Cooking is an option with either fuel source.
1. Open wood fire
2. Gas BBQ - A conventional 4 burner gas BBQ fits
3. Gas open fire - by installing a Gas Fire system
Fast Installation
Our skilled team can install your fireplace in just a few hours – the solid concrete modules being designed for ease of installation. Access is required for a HIAB, or other small lifting device – these are not lightweight temporary units, but built ‘rock of Gibraltar strong’ to give lasting pleasure!
All Season Use
Fire restrictions can mean that fireplaces are often unable to be used when you most want to – summer outdoor entertaining. Fitting a spark arrestor gives you the ability to use and enjoy your Flare Outdoor Fireplace right through the middle of summer.
A Variety of Finishes and Texture Options
You may prefer to leave your Flare Outdoor Fireplace in its attractive natural concrete finish. There is also an extensive range of textures and colours available. Polished concrete, stucko, Spanish plaster, stone, rock, santex, painted … almost any texture can be applied.
For a natural concrete finish minimal plastering is required – one or two joins depending on design configuration.
Aesthetics - Attention to Detail
Flare Outdoor Fireplaces have refined the design of their range over years of trial and error, and many, many, outdoor entertaining sessions! The Flare range is easy on the eye, fitting elegantly into today’s homes. While the overall effect is simplicity, no attention to detail has been spared.

Council Compliance
Every Flare Outdoor Fireplace comes with a Producer Statement (PS1 Engineers Certificate) and plans ready for submission to Council should they be required.
Fireplace Safety
Flare Outdoor Fireplaces have their fireboxes set at a height that is safe for children. The front of the firebox has a stainless steel shield to protect against log roll out, this is also double folded to reduce the risk of burns.
Manufacturing Process
All of the Flare Outdoor Fireplaces are constructed using a modular concrete system. Modules are cast at our premises in Tauranga, then palletized for shipping nationwide.
Other Points of Interest
- The firebox is typically set at a height that is viewable to all your guests not just the few in front for optimal ambience.
- Solid masonry construction provides huge residual heat distribution, holding and distributing the heat.
- There is no steel firebox to rust and stain your deck, no need to put unsightly covers over the firebox to stop it from rusting while not in use.
- The fire is designed as a “lazy fire”. There is no grate, the fire being built directly on top of the firebricks. After the initial rush of flame, this provides a solid, warming fire that burns slowly and delightfully, rather than rushing up the chimney as so many others do.
- The fireboxes on all of the Flare Outdoor Fireplaces are built to the standard size of available cooking frames that take a variety of removable cooking plates. Wok, steak grate, hot plate, waffle pans – all are available. Whatever takes the chef’s fancy!
- Pizza rocks are also available – heat them up on the grill and cook your pizza, when the cheese melts on the top you know it’s done.
