South Africans love to braai and socialise around open fires. Whether it is tradition or simply having an excuse to socialise, we always find a reason to get together and enjoy the process of cooking meat and other foods over an open fire. If you want to buy a built-in braai in South Africa, Home Fires is your definitive choice.

By buying and installing a built-in braai, you can create a dedicated braai/entertainment area at your home. Today, we talk about ideal locations to install such a braai and how you can utilise such locations as dedicated entertainment areas when having people over for a braai.

Where Can I Install a Built-In Braai?

• Covered Patios and Verandas: Most residential properties in South Africa have patios and verandas that are covered, making for an ideal location to install a built-in braai. Since it is (technically) outdoors, you do not have to worry about indoor ventilation or creating an oxygen shortage in a room when operating your braai.
• A Dedicated Braai Room: If you want to take it a step further, you can enclose your patio or veranda to create a dedicated braaikamer for your home. With access to a chimney and sidewalls, such a room makes for a perfect centralised entertainment space as well. By enclosing the patio, you can install a TV screen on the wall to watch the rugby over the weekend while having a braai with all your friends.

• The Lapa: Yet another common trait for residential properties in South Africa, the backyard Lapa makes for an excellent candidate in which you can install your built-in braai. Most Lapas are adjacent to a swimming pool, making it the ideal setup for a weekend cookout in the backyard.

• Options for Smaller Properties: If your backyard does not feature a Lapa and your home does not have a covered veranda or patio, you can always install your built-in braai in the corner of your backyard. There are several creative ways to execute such an installation. Moreover, you will increase the value of your property. By having a dedicated braai area at home, you do not have to waste time pushing the Weber around every time you have friends over. It is a functional and practical solution for every homeowner.
