Basics for how-to-build-a-firepit

how to build a firepit

Learning how-to-build-a-firepit isn't difficult, but there are a few things to consider. You need to use rocks or blocks that won't crack in the heat. The firepit also needs to be able to drain rainwater.

We'll start off with the bottom of the firepit. Some people like to have it made of gravel. I think it's harder to clean with gravel so I prefer either cement or brick.

Gas firepits are very popular. When you're doing the brick work, you can run the gas pipes under the brick to the firepit.





stone for firepits



Ashlar and flagstone are very popular types of stones used for firepits.

firepit adhesive



An adhesive used for masonry is often used instead of mortar to hold the bricks and stones together because it doesn't crack from the heat.
