Won’t it be great to build a fire pit out there under the stars?

Imagine a bonfire keeping you dazzling company beneath the stars in every season, summer, autumn and winter! Create warm memories and make it bewitching with a fantasy of colors too. It is not going to pinch the pocket either. Look forward to these little parties over drinks and so much more on special occasions that come but rarely.

What will you really need?

·         Ample Bricks and colored stones

·         A Shovel and hand gardening tool

·         A painting and marking device

1: Mark the margins of Your Fire Pit

Arrange the bricks in the fire pit boundary and calculate how many you will need. Chalk or paint would help with markings. Make the plan your way, marking inside or outside of the brick pattern.

2: Now, get ready to dig up the Hole

Calculate the exact dimensions that will be needed to be dug up in a bowl or square shape, or whatever pattern the group decides upon. Depth and width are to be aimed for. The best plan would be to dig deep first and then widen the opening.

3: Lay a pattern of the Bricks and colored Stones Inside the pit

Begin with the brick arrangement at the bottom of the pit. Surround the bricks with the stones collected, whether marble or granite. Put aside some soil for the final leveling and filling purposes. Lay the side bricks now, concentrating on maintaining a neat, aesthetic level. Use the decorative stones well too. Complete the process with the layer of bricks on the top. 

4: The Gaps need to be filled up with soil

Some spaces would remain between the bricks and stones. Filling those should not be a problem since so much soil was dug up while creating the pit. Use the soil and little rocks to fill up the crevices.

5: Optionally, the bricks could be painted bright too

With bright colors everywhere, the bricks could be painted according to fancies. Get a few beloved shades and start painting alternating bricks or alternate lines in a bright checkered riot of wild colors. Satin and glossy colors truly titillate the senses and remain long in the mind. Perhaps Behr Ultra could provide inspirations like Guava Jelly and Tidewater, Pink Mimosa and Glitterati.

The strategy for painting should start with the lowest bricks and then follow by painting the sides in an ascending order. What else remains to be done? Throw a warming up party and light up the fire.
