Introduction: How to Build Fire Pit
• Make sure the fire pit is, at minimum, 10 feet away from any structure or neighboring yard—25 feet is preferable.
• Do not position a fire pit under a covered porch or low hanging tree branches.
• Always place a fire pit on a non-flammable surface, such as patio blocks or concrete
.• Do not put a fire pit on a wooden deck or directly on grass.
Step 1: Tools & Materials
- Shovel
- Wheel barrow

Step 2: Determining Size
Place ring where you want your pit. Remember look around for fire hazards.
Fire pits are typically about 36 to 44 inches in diameter.

When you have your circle roughed out, dig a 12-inch-deep hole in that location.
Step 4: Leveling Your Pit
Place ring in hole and see where it needs leveling

Customize how you would like.
In the near future, I would like to continue with stepping stones around to slow down mosquito's
