    This is the first firepit video I could actually relate to as a simple and practical one, something which an average person like me can build in a weekend !!
    I also liked the way this guy doesnot use heavy tools and costly materials or extensive measurements unlike some other landscaper youtubers !!

    Thank you for this video. I think you just saved me a ton of headache with the weedblocker tip. Newbie to home DIYs, so this was very helpful with no fluff or unnecessary junk. Thank you!

    Just watched a similar video where a guy poured some giant concrete slab around his fire pit. The whole time I was thinking why doesn’t he just put down some gravel, it would be a lot easier and less expensive. I think you did it the right way. 👌

    How big did you make the outer circle of the pit? And how wide is your brick fire pit itself? I’m struggling to decide how much room I need for the seating area. How far out to dig from the fire pit for the outer circle.

    Amazing! I plan on doing this too but with the posts set with concrete in the whiskey barrel planters...I just can't commit to putting the posts in the ground set in concrete since we will sell in a few years! Plus pretty flowers are a bonus :) If I don't want to dig up the grass to avoid dirt/grass disposal and back pain, can I use the cardboard method of killing the grass? Outline the area, set cardboard down and wait for the grass to die, add landscaping fabric and then pea gravel? Or would it be best to just dig up? Your project turned out great. Thank you!

    @Patmanduu 3 роки тому +3

    For the lighting posts. You’d be better off pouring a concrete footing, extending above grade slightly, then attaching the post to that. This way they won’t rot and can be replaced. Less lateral strength perhaps, but that’s not really a requirement here.
