Easy DIY Firepit Project

Here's what you'll need to get started:

1.    Bricks or concrete blocks

2.     Sand or gravel

3.     Steel fire pit ring or metal grate

4.     Shovel

5.     Level

6.     Tape measure

Step 1: Choose the location: Choose your perfect location for a fire pit that is far enough away from any structures or combustible materials. Make sure the ground is level and free of debris.

Step 2: Dig the pit: Using a shovel, dig a pit that is at least 2 feet deep and 3 feet wide. Make sure the edges are even and level.

Step 3: Fill with sand or gravel: Fill the bottom of the pit with a layer of sand or gravel. This will provide drainage and help the bottom from becoming muddy.

Step 4: Build the walls: Using bricks or concrete blocks, build the walls of the fire pit. Stack the blocks or bricks in a circular pattern, making sure they are level and even. Proper air flow is important so remember to leave a gap between the blocks or bricks to allow for air flow.

Step 5: Add the fire pit ring: Place a steel fire pit ring or metal grate in the center of the pit. This will provide a sturdy base for your fire and prevent the walls from collapsing.

Step 6: Finish with a cap: If desired, add a cap to the top of the fire pit wall using additional bricks or concrete blocks. This will give your fire pit a custom finish, your personal touch, and provide a place to rest drinks or snacks.

Great job! You've done it! Just a little bit of time and effort, you can create your own outdoor fire pit. This will provide years of warmth and enjoyment. Gather some friends, schedule some fun time, grab some marshmallows or hot dogs, and enjoy the cozy environment of your new fire pit.
