Using blocks of a different style can also change the look of your fire pit. This guide teaches you how to build a fire pit using concrete pavers or concrete blocks for a quick easy backyard upgrade that can be enjoyed in any season. Fire pits are strictly governed by local building codes. You can also design and build your own custom sized fire pit using rectangular retaining wall blocks or set the fire pit in ground.

Installing a fire pit is a diy project that can be configured for your yard s measurements. But for stability the base of the wall must be buried below ground in a hole lined with gravel providing drainage and protecting against frost heaves in winter. A fire pit should sit low to the ground with walls rising no more than a foot off the ground. Our kit can be installed on grass on top of a gravel paver base or on top of a patio.

The style and shape of a fire pit can vary. Some codes require the pit to be encircled by a border of sand or gravel. So before you decide to add one to your backyard know the code in your area. Our circular fire pit is about 2 tall x 5 total diameter and a 3 interior diameter.
