Your guide to building

Ready to get started?

Choosing the right location for your fire pit is very important. It’s best to choose a spot that is at least 25 feet away from any buildings & overhanging trees. The average fire pit is 36-45 inches across & 12 inches tall.

The first thing to do is form your circle. Cut a piece of string half the size of the diameter

you’re making your fire pit (if your pit is going to be 40 inches in diameter, cut a 20 inch piece of string). Tie the string on a stake. Tie the other end of the string to a paint can. Secure the stake in the

location, location, location!ground. Pull the string with the paint can taut. Walk around the stake & use the paint to make a perfect circle.

Next it’s time to dig a hole! This is to remove any flammable materials under the pit. Dig a

hole inside your circle a couple of inches deep.

Stack your stones around your circle outline. Stack until it reaches around 12 inches tall. You can also find a galvanized fire ring at Orscheln to add to the inside of your stone wall for added stability & safety. Be sure to make your circle the correct size to fit the ring & build the stones around the ring to insure a good fit. Fill your pit with gravel or sand.

Once your pit is complete, grab some s’more stuff & some friends, kick back & enjoy your hard work!
