There is nothing quite like gathering around a crackling fire on a cool Georgian Bay evening. Our custom outdoor fireplaces are designed to match your home's architecture and your personal style, whether you prefer the rustic look of local natural stone or the clean lines of a contemporary design. Each fireplace is built to serve as both a functional heat source and a stunning focal point for your outdoor living space in Midland, Penetanguishene, or the surrounding Simcoe County area.
Outdoor fireplaces in Central Ontario must withstand extreme temperature swings, from plus thirty in summer to minus thirty in winter. We use frost-resistant firebrick, weather-rated mortar, and durable natural stone specifically selected for Simcoe County conditions. Foundations extend below the four-foot frost line, and flue systems are designed to draw properly even in Georgian Bay wind conditions. Our fireplaces are built to perform flawlessly for decades through every Midland winter.
Choose the fireplace experience that suits your Midland lifestyle. Our gas-burning units ignite instantly on cool autumn evenings with no wood to stack or ash to clean, perfect for busy families and cottage properties. Wood-burning fireplaces deliver the traditional ambiance and crackling sounds that define Georgian Bay evenings. We also offer hybrid options and can integrate wood storage, mantels, and built-in seating into your fireplace design.
A custom outdoor fireplace transforms your backyard from a three-season space into a gathering spot you can enjoy from April through November in Midland. Pair your fireplace with a covered pergola, outdoor kitchen, and landscape lighting to create a complete four-season outdoor room. Our clients in Penetanguishene and Tiny Township regularly tell us their fireplace is the feature that changed how they use their entire property.

In a region where the outdoor season can feel short, a custom fireplace is the single most effective feature for extending your time outside. Homeowners throughout Midland, Penetanguishene, Tiny Township, and Tay Township are adding outdoor fireplaces to push their backyard enjoyment from the first warm days of spring well into the cool evenings of November. At Forty Five Scapes, we design and build outdoor fireplaces that are engineered for the unique demands of the Simcoe County climate.
Our outdoor fireplaces range from grand stone structures with full mantels and hearths to sleek, modern fire features that complement contemporary architecture. Popular styles in the Midland and Penetanguishene area include:
Every outdoor fireplace we install in Simcoe County is engineered from the foundation up for our climate. We pour concrete footings below the local frost depth of four feet or more, use firebrick rated for extreme temperature cycling, and select exterior stone and masonry that will not spall or crack through decades of freeze-thaw exposure. Chimney caps and spark arrestors are designed for the wind patterns common along Georgian Bay, ensuring safe operation and proper draft in all conditions.
Gas fireplaces offer the convenience of instant ignition and precise temperature control, making them ideal for Midland homeowners who want warmth at the push of a button on a cool evening. Wood-burning fireplaces provide the authentic experience of real flames, crackling logs, and the aroma of a campfire that is central to the Georgian Bay outdoor lifestyle. We also design combination units that offer both options, giving you flexibility for every occasion.
A fireplace is most powerful as part of a complete outdoor living design. We coordinate fireplace placement with patios, retaining walls, built-in seating, and hardscaping to create a unified space. Add an outdoor kitchen for complete entertaining capability, or pair with garden lighting for ambiance that extends well into the evening. Our 3D design service helps you visualize exactly how your fireplace will look and function in your Midland or Penetanguishene backyard.
Outdoor fireplace installations in Midland and Penetanguishene require compliance with local fire codes and may require building permits depending on the size and fuel type.
