Having a fire pit in your backyard adds a lot of fun. But do you know that you can build your own DIY fire pit easily? Don’t worry if you don’t know. I have found a great DIY tutorial from Manmade DIY here to teach how to build DIY concrete fire pit from scratch. What you will need for this concrete fire pit project are
- Concrete mix
- One extra-large bowl for exterior mold (ours was 17″ diameter)
- One large bowl for interior mold (ours was 15″ diameter)
- Non-stick cooking spray, or vegetable oil and paint brush
- Large bucket for mixing
- Medium-duty masonry trowel
- Proper safety gear for working with concrete:
- 3M Tekk Protection N95-rated dust mask for sanding and grinding
- Safety glasses or goggles
- Refinishing or work gloves
- Plastic or reusable drop cloth
- Heavy objects such as exercise weights (or you can use the rocks below)
- Sandpaper or sanding pad in coarse and fine grits
- Gel fireplace fuel canisters
- Replacement grill grate (ours was 14 1/2″ diameter)
- Fire safe decorative stones
See how gorgeous this fire pit is.
Now it’s your turn to build you fire pit and share the picture with us.
