How Do You Build A Sweet Outdoor Fire Pit?
A few years ago, my husband and I set out to build the most amazing fire pit, built right into our deck. Two years later, and that fire pit is the best gathering spot on any summer night. Roll up your sleeves and prepare to get a little dirty (and scraped, and scared, and sweaty…), once the pit is done you’ll have created a perfect outdoor living space for you, your friends, and family. Once you’ve located the perfect spot for your fire pit, and you have all of the necessary permits or permissions required, begin grading the dirt so that it is level. I’m not going to include deck building instructions, that’s to complicated for one article, but if you are building a deck around the pit, mark it out now and start installing the footings. Also for the deck, make sure your fire pit is sitting square with in the deck space. If it’s off, even a little, that’s going to make some difficult lengthwise cuts on your decking. Start your first level of your fire pit. 3 cinder blocks, end to end
