The marshmallow toasts and wine become better when you do it in front of an endearing fire pit in your lawn. From enclosed, portable outdoor fireplaces, to more open concrete and steel options, there’s no dearth of backyard fire pits.
- You can customize the pit with fabric. Add some custom cushions to the lawn’s built-in fence and bench. In addition to adding polish, color, and character, the printed fabric also provides comfort and convenience to the ones sitting around the fire.
- Take the shape into consideration. If your patio already has outdoor furniture, don’t forget to take their measurements. Include lawn mowers and wheelers as well and get the right lawn mower cover to match the color scheme.
To add more intimacy and privacy in the fire pit lounge space in a natural way, dump fencing for tall hedges.
Know the different styles
Virtually, all low-cost fire pits cost $50-$150. The secret to the prices is the elementary building materials for building the fire pits. The core components are concrete, pavers, wall blocks, and bricks.
You can make other forms of fire pits by repurposing materials, such as flower pots, glass, and metal planters.
- A block fire pit is a scintillating idea. You can buy retaining blocks of wall from your local improvement shop and stack them high in the lawn.
- To enhance the oxygen flow, you cut one block in half and place the other half on either side at the ring’s bottom to build essential events.
- If you want to make it fast, easy, and inexpensive, consider using pavers for your fire pit. Again, you need to retain wall blocks, pavers, and sand.
- You don’t need to include concrete, mortar, and grout in this project, making it an ideal masonry project for beginners.
Navigating through designs
An austere brick fire pit is a great example. You can complete the project within $300. Mowing the backyard is paramount and having the right cover is equally important.
Another great idea is the flagstone fire ring. It’s the best bet for revelers who love to camp and party, regardless of the milieu. If you’ve a spacious backyard or if it’s a farmhouse, this fire ring can be a superb idea.
You use flagstones as the main design. The retaining wall edifices can complement the yard. However, it costs a little more than the traditional brick design, but can be the best gathering and partying spot for family and friends.
A fire pit in the pirate ship style is simply gorgeous. It’s an elaborate design for fulfilling and/or enhancing the artistic side of you. If you’ve the available tools, a pirate ship pit could be a rollicking time.
However, it’s in your best interests to create a budget and fire pit plan in the first place.
