TEMPEST TORCH
A vertical flame feature that can become part of the architecture — framing a pavilion, lining a pool, anchoring masonry pillars or adding fire to the landscape.
TEMPEST TORCH
WHY WE USE IT
FIRE THAT BECOMES PART OF THE DESIGN.
A Tempest Torch does more than add flame. Used in the right location, it gives the backyard a vertical focal point and helps connect fire, water, structures and landscape into one composition.
The best product features don't look added on. They look like the backyard was designed around them.
These photos are from real projects. We have used Tempest Torches on posts, masonry pillars and pavilion walls — sometimes as a single statement, sometimes repeated across the property.
WALL-MOUNT APPLICATION

REAL LONG ISLAND BACKYARDS
SEE WHERE THE TORCH LIVES.
The product makes the most sense when you see it in context. These are actual backyard installations showing how the same torch can work with pools, masonry, landscaping and outdoor structures.

ONE PRODUCT. MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS.
HOW WE'VE USED IT.
PILLAR MOUNT
Build fire into the masonry.
Mounting the torch on a finished pillar makes the flame feel integrated with the architecture instead of placed next to it.
WALL MOUNT
Frame an outdoor room.
Used on pavilion columns or walls, Tempest Torches can mark the edges of the structure and create a strong nighttime arrival.
REPEATED THROUGH THE PROPERTY
Turn one detail into a design language.
Repeating the same flame feature across a larger backyard can visually connect separate areas without making them feel identical.
BEHIND THE BUILD
SEE THE PRODUCT UP CLOSE.
A quick field view shows the scale of the glass enclosure, burner and finished pillar installation. On a full project, gas supply, controls, clearances and mounting are coordinated with the surrounding masonry and outdoor layout.
For installation: Tempest Torches are fixed-line outdoor gas appliances. Manufacturer instructions, required clearances and local codes should be followed for each installation.
