My homemade Fire Pit, using what was on hand!

When I moved to the new house, I wanted to set up the yard for everything, yep everything. I wanted room for a garden, wood storage and good times. And I wanted a fire pit, a simple, rustic, made from what I already had, fire pit......

It is a fact, every project starts here.

Work from the perimeter in, remove sod and rocks. Remove enough soil for desired depth of pit.

Set up the walls of the pit, keeping in mind the finished shape will change as you fit pieces together. Remove the vegetation in a 4 inch path around the edge.

Put a row of stones on the inside to help stabilize the wall.




Add large pieces of scrap rock to the center, and smaller rocks for the rest of the "floor".


Wet the exposed soil around the outside of the pavers with vinegar, for weed control.


Finish the outside edge with large stones.














While searching for more large stones, I found another piece of scrap concrete, to add to the bottom of the fire pit floor.





Done!
