Relax with an Outdoor Fire Pit

Summer is one of our favorite times of the year.  Not only because it’s sunny and warm, but also because of all the outdoor projects we can get done.  And, while our backyards are a great place to work on projects they’re also a great place to relax.  That’s why we’re excited that the DIY Network has shared 8 easy-to-build outdoor fire pit designs to help you create a cozy backyard perfect for cool summer evenings.  Here are some of our favorites.

A concrete square constructed in place is capped off with sandstone tiles then filled with gravel, a large metal fire bowl and decorative river rocks.

Natural stone is stood on end to outline this sunken fire ring.

Concrete pavers normally used for retaining walls can easily be stacked and filled with sand to make a small fire ring.

This fireplace was made by stacking rectangle pavers in a staggered pattern one small section at a time, then each section was lined and mortared with two rows of fire bricks standing up on end.
