How much does Ottawa's spring pollen season affect my outdoor fireplace and what cover or cap should I use?

Outdoor fireplaces fall outside the scope of what Ottawa Fireplaces covers — our expertise is focused on residential indoor fireplaces, wood stoves, gas fireplace installations, and chimney systems for your home's heating and safety needs.

That said, if you have an outdoor wood-burning fireplace or fire pit that connects to a chimney structure, or if you're thinking about adding an indoor fireplace or wood stove to complement your outdoor living space, that's very much in our wheelhouse. Ottawa's long winters — with temperatures regularly hitting -25 to -30 degrees Celsius — make a well-installed indoor wood stove or gas fireplace one of the most practical and rewarding investments a homeowner can make, and the contrast between a cold Ottawa night and a warm fire inside is hard to beat.

For questions about outdoor patio furniture covers, seasonal yard maintenance, or outdoor structure care during pollen season, a local Ottawa landscaping or outdoor living contractor would be better positioned to help you than we are.

If you do have questions about your indoor chimney, a wood stove installation, gas fireplace service, or anything related to hearth products and home heating in Ottawa, feel free to ask — that's exactly what we're here for.
