That is absolutely amazing. Awesome job. I'm in the process of building an outdoor kitchen, just finished building a floating deck for the base, and my next project was to build a fire pit, but after seeing this it's given me some ideas. Thanks for posting.
Stellar!! Your patience and workmanship payed off fantastically. Smooth..linear..and professional. Your channel is very informative..wishing you great success with all your projects.
I just saved this video!!! I am in the process of purchasing my first home and this is definitely an idea I will LOVE to do
incredible job man. Always amazes me how people figure out how to do this stuff.
Looks amazing, would you be willing to share the list of items that you used for this project? I want to build something similar in the spring but with a natural gas pit instead
Nice work! I'm blown away.
Looks good man. Very nice execution.
Looks good! We will be doing this in the next month! ... we will see how it goes! thanks for sharing!
Very nice build! Enjoyable video too
Bro that came out great !
This was awesome! I’m remodeling my yard and plan to excavate a portion of my raised patio to have a sunken pit and use the excavated dirt to backfill an area for a raised seating / dining area
Nice, post a video when you are done 👍
Absolutely amazing work I really really love it😀
Thanks!
Bad ass project, very well done.
Thanks bro!
That was awesome
Looks awesome , great job on the vid man!
Thanks John!
Top notch great work
That is some beautiful work. I think I saw that you used construction adhesive for the brickwork on the firepit. Out of curiosity, how well is the construction adhesive holding up to the heat from the fire?
Yes I want one I gotta have this in my back yard 💯❤😊
Very cool and will be building my own, just a little concerned about the bricks, are they fire rated? Typically you want to use fire bricks or at least clay bricks, not cement pavers (too porous, will get water and then explode/crack if super heated). Pavers around the pit should be fine as they won't get super hot, but inside the fire pit walls you want fire rated material.
It looks great! But where do you sit? And how well does it drain the rain?
came out nice guys
Amazing. We would love to do the same! But one question. Do you have concerns about drainage with heavy rain?
Very nice!
Awesome! How’s it holding up and how’s the height for actually sitting ? Seems a little low?
It looks good but when rainy day where water will go? Is it become a swimming pool? I like to see your upgrade for this video after heavy rain storm.
awesome work, could you write whole dimensions of this pit ?
Wow amazing work! Im curios in what state is this in? What about in the spring when it rains alot?
50/10 just awesome
Thanks!
Would you recommend this build in a more wet climate? I am concerned that the tube would catch rain and flood the fire pit. Awesome project by the way. Congrats!
I love it
Baddass!!!!
Thanks!
I love it but I didn't see any drains put in, what happens after a good rain storm. seems the whole thing will hold water ??
look great but a few questions, how do you empty all the ash? how do you stop grass cuttings from going everywhere? will the glue hold up with the heat? and are the bricks okay for fire? I'm looking to build my own and was thinking of digging a soakaway in the centre so the ash and water and can drain away in to it or have that and a tray for the ash to reuse for the plants.
So the ash hasn't been an issue yet, I have cleaned out the pit only once since I made it. I don't put the fire out with water when Im done. I just cover the pit with a steel grill cover and let the coals all burn away. Never had a problem with grass cuttings, you can always use a leaf blower and blow them away if its a problem. I used concrete adhesive, and so far no issues, but I would recommend applying liberally, the more the better. The bricks are great for the fire, they are made in high temp.
Hi San! I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed seeing your project - it's both beautiful and elegantly simple! Would you be willing to share the dimensions of it with me? I'm looking to start my first project soon, so having an idea of the dimensions would be really helpful. Thank you so much!
Did you ever come back and watch the part of the video where he said the dimensions
Curious.. Does it have the potential to flood?
after hard rainfall.
Looks cool bit all kinds of concern pvc fire weed barrier fire glue fire and if thats a trick with the square then wow bit hey you put in the work looks good
Hey San. Awesome video and amazing end result. I had one question. Not sure where you live but do you ever have problems with drainage within the fire pit and seated area? I like how you used the ground as a natural backing for the seating instead of using difficult retaining walls, but just wondering if there were any issues not having a drain? Thanks!
Hi Jon. I do live in a more dry climate area. But I did run into small water build up at the very bottom of the pit during the first few weeks after laying the sod since I was over-watering to help the grass take root. Then after the grass took I cut down on the watering schedule and have had no issues whatsoever. If you live in an area with lots of rainfall then I would advise adding a plastic drain tube at the lowest part of the firepit, and that should solve any water drainage issues.
How much did that build cost
@sanchaik5586 what size is the actual firepit..before the bricks?
What a beautiful pool you built
How long did it take? Hours or day wise?
What a SICK JOB you did on your Fire Pit. It’s always amazing and cool when the females get involved as well.
Helluv of backyard too!!
"the females"
How do you manage when it starts raining. Doesn't the pit sink without any concrete base?
What was the cost making this?
Sweet pond
That’s awesome. But if I built that where I live I would have a coy pond after first rain
does water accumulate when it rains?
Amazing work, I’m thinking of doing something very similar but worried about water retention specially in FL with the heavy rain. What would you do for that??
Not sure how you would go about that. If you live in an area of constant precipitation, then maybe consider having the pit above ground. You can always experiment, just dig a hole somewhere and wait to see if it fills with water.
You could also get an old bbq cover or a metal lid to cover it when you aren’t using it so it doesn’t fill up with water
So does it drain?
I'm building mine right now. A little tweeks but practically the same. I think I'm doing overkill. On the drainage issue I'm pretty much screwed but I came up with a solution. Installing pvc pipe at floor bottom and digging small trench to feed pipe in ground and having it come out on the outside and using a harbor freight small water pump to hook up to and pumping it out easily. I had a major rain come thru literally 24 hrs of it. And I've used the pump in the past and it pumped out the hole no problem. Hence I saw the weak spots in my setup with the whole. Slowly trucking along building it. Hope it helps someone
Let’s talk I need to do this to mine too when I build it
Looks very good, my sunken fire pit is 1 metre deep, what do you recommend for drainage?
1 meter is deep 👍. Depends where you are having water drainage problems, the floor area or the pit itself? Perhaps at the lowest part of the fire pit you can install a proper plastic drainage pipe that will help water flow away from the pit.
@@sanchaik5586 back of the retaining wall is close to the neighbours fence, their gutters are blocked and over flowing, water going under the fence and into the pit atm, I might need a little decline and run a pipe at the lowest point?
What about drainage for rain?
Nah....double feature....fireplace + hot tub
No back support either
Nice looking!
That’s what my thoughts are too
Sand ground dont need a drain
How much did this project cost?
Verry nice work, well done. But I'm afraid the concrete bricks wil crack sooner or later because of the heat. For a fire pit you should have token burnt red bricks and glue them together with clay.
I wonder how is it functional during heavy rain…hate to see it turn into a pond, looks good tho
Post a new video with design issues and what you did to resolve them
Looks like a future 🐟 🐠 🐡 pond...wouldn't work in my area. Looks good though! 👏
Since everyone is doing smokeless fire pits...is this style smokeless?
Wow...👍
Wow.
U got a Pic or vid of u actually sitting in it? Dimensions seems really narrow
Looks lovely but wouldn’t imagine it would stand the test of time with how many common practices have been missed
@danielward3715 - Care to add specifics so we can accommodate for them?
What happens when it rains???
lol you must be in arizona, there needs to be french drain if you live in northwest. Also need to pour footing to block water from coming in from under the side of the dirt.
Looks good but the yard grades into the pit gonna have a nice swimming pool on your hands
Did you seal the cinder blocks with mortar or just put dirt in the holes to keep them stable❓
I put dirt inside the blocks and sealed only the tops.
@@sanchaik5586 THANKS AWESOME 👍🏾
probably a bummer to sit on a 8" talk block. Looks nice in photos thou
He didn’t think that part through, that’s why it didn’t show no one sitting on finished product.
Ray romano that you?
I don’t understand where your seating/chairs go? It’s really beautiful. Am I missing something?
Thanks, so you don't need chairs, you can just sit on the pavers.
what is the demension
What about the rain
Drainage?
First: finish product looks great.
Use a spade for digging, dig 3 inches lower. get 3/4 crush with fines (aka road base), use level to skreet the road base with quarter bubble grade following yard grade direction. Pack it well. Then sand and proceed as you did. Get a dead blow and tap the 2x2s gently into the sand while using the level to check and keep desired grade.
The quality looks good, but that thing is gonna settle. Also I hate the 2x2s, they crack easily, and they’re heavy.
P.S. using deadblow tap all blocks/pavers to reduce settling, again chase grade with your level. A plate whacker can be used for packing the road base, or a tamper.
Then you squat while you try to sit there?
The ventilation. whats the lid for it called?
Not sure exactly, I found it in the same section that you would buy the dryer extension flex pipe.
Does the dryer vent melt at all?
I do not see it holding up for the longhall
How much did all that cost?
It came out a little more expensive than I planned. Still under $600
do you have a link to the dimensions? @@sanchaik5586
после хорошего дождя можно будет туда рыбок запускать.
Is it possible you can give the dimensions?
Hey there! I'm really curious to know the dimensions of San's beautiful project. I hope he's open to sharing that information, but just in case he isn't, you could always try counting the pave blocks to get a rough idea. I hope that helps! Best of luck with your project, my friend. Cheers!
I can’t think of anything more dangerous!
how about an avalanche or a forest fire?
Do you need a permit
Check with your local city guidelines, every city might have different rules and regulations.
Nice build! - #joshsprink
Why about rain? You just gonna scoop it out?
A toddlers moms worst nightmare
2 things i notice, drainage and cleaning the ashes would be nightmare
Yeah, he should have made a hole for the drainage in the pit, about another 6" to 8" deep and the same wide.
Two mistakes you made, one was drainage, that can easily be fixed with minor adjustments. The second was seating, unless you’re sitting infants a full sized adult can’t sit comfortably how it’s currently set up.
I want to do the exact same set up how do I run a drainage line? I dit a line going sideways and fill it with the white rock? It looks really comfy to me I would just get some pillows so you can lay your back more
There's no way this would work in a northern region. That fire pit would be a soaking tub after a few rains
very nice, not good for old folks
All oxygen in the air is "fresh" 🤣 you silly, if it's "dirty" we call it a compound. And I argue your inch measure needs calibration.
Timeout: did i really see you say this cost $600.00?
Wonderful design, but it will not last. No footing for the block, wrong brick for the fire pit, using the cap to hold back soil for the step is all wrong. Even if you want to do something like this yourself, you can still contact a local professional landscape company and they can provide you with proper construction techniques. You will be repairing this project multiple times in the near future.
The whole point of this is to make something creative while spending as little amount of money as possible. As far as longevity, I will make an update video after a year mark to show how its holding up. So far its great, been using it 2 to 3x per week.
let me guess, you're a professional landscape company so you can provide proper construction techniques? like he said, this is a diy, why do contractors troll on diyers on youtube lol
HOW TO BE SAVED:
Repent:
Acts 20:21
Authorized (King James) Version
“testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.”
2 Corinthians 7:9
"Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing." KJV.
2 Corinthians 7:10
"For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death." KJV.
Understand YOU ARE A SINNER and only The Lord Jesus Christ can save you:
Romans 3:20-26
Authorized (King James) Version
“20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.”
Romans 3:10
"as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" KJV.
Put your faith in the Gospel:
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" KJV
For added assurance of salvation, call upon the name of The Lord (The Lord Jesus Christ) for salvation:
Romans 10:8-13
"But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." KJV.
Looks cool but who the hell wants to sit around that? so uncomfortable
How do you account for water build up?
Looks great man. Unfortunately I can’t mimic this since I’m in NY. How do you clean the pit out if you don’t mind me asking since it is a gravel base
Stupid, then when the rain comes, it turns into a pond
