A solid foundation is necessary to prevent settling and tiling of each project. We recommend using a leveling pad, unless local building code requires you to pour a concrete foundation or build another type of foundation.
FOUNDATION:
• Choose the location for the completed project; place and mark the position of the base layer of blocks. Once marked, remove the blocks and the organic top soil within the marked area.
• If applicable to your area, create a leveling pad with a non-frost susceptible, well graded, compacted angular gravel-sand mixture with fines (GW as per ASTM D248). The leveling pad should be a minimum of 4 to 6 inches thick. For leveling pads greater than 8” thick, the fill material shall be placed in more than one lift. Each layer or lift of fill material shall be leveled and compacted to a 95% Standard Proctor density before moving on.
• Once the top layer of fill material is compacted and level, place the base layer of blocks. The base layer should sit 1 to 2 inches below grade to help further prevent shifting. Use additional fill material to level the base layer as needed.
* If a concrete slab is required, prepare a leveling pad using the procedures listed in the paragraphs above. The concrete shall have a minimum compressive strength of 2500 psi. A 4-inch thick concrete slab should be more than sufficient. A thickened edge and reinforcement of the leveling slabs may be required. Please consult a professional engineer for specific requirements.

INSTRUCTIONS:
• Please research and follow local building codes prior to the excavation, construc-tion and assembly of your project.
• Exercise caution when you work with Concrete Block designs. Wear pro-tective safety equipment such as safety glasses, dust masks, gloves and a hard hat.
• Whether you plan to build the project yourself or to hire a professional, every project requires a call to mark your utility lines.

TECHNIQUES
Fasten each layer of block together with 1/4” - 3/8” bead of construction adhesive on all adjacent block faces unless otherwisenoted. Refer to the construction adhesive’s application instructions for proper use.
Follow suggestions on page 3 to build a proper foundation before starting your new project. If not already set, place the first level of block 1”- 2” below grade, level and fill in any gaps. Use Level 1 as a reference to place the blocks for all remaining levels.
Refer to the illustrations on the following pages to guide you through each step. Prior to adhering each level to the previously laid block, place the entire level of blocks and check to make sure the fire pit insert fits properly. Remove small sections at a time to place the adhesive.
Once all levels are complete, position the insert into the finished pit. Fill the base of the pit, up to and slightly above the bottom of the metal insert, with gravel. Wait a minimum of two days before starting a fire.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
* Do not over apply adhesive. It may reduce effectiveness. Use mineral spirits to remove any unwanted adhesive.

With proper use and maintenance you can enjoy this new addition to your landscape for years to come. Fire Pit Use:• When using your fire pit, always following burning regulations in your area and never
leave a fire unattended.
• Keep the fire within the metal insert; any exposure of the flames directly to the concrete blocks may cause blackening or cracking of the blocks.
• Keep gravel or sand up to and above the base of the metal insert to protect the blocks from direct flame exposure. The gravel base provides drainage and helps protect any blocks that are positioned below the bottom of the metal insert.

Fire Pit Maintenance: • Clean your fire pit often.
• Wait until the fire has burned out completely and all ashes have cooled before cleaning the fire pit.
• Begin by removing the larger pieces of debris; the remaining ash can be scooped out and/or lightly sprayed with a hose to rinse through the gravel.
