Your Fire Pit Will Be Ready In 2 Hours!
Imagine sitting back, cracking open a cold one, and basking in the cozy ambiance of a crackling fire. Now, you can make it simple to keep your family warm and snug this winter by crafting your own fire pit. Just choose a block design you love, pick your spot, stack the blocks in a circle (as high as you prefer), and gather your kindling to ignite the fire. It's that easy to enjoy memorable moments around your homemade fire pit.

STEP 2
Assembly
First, ensure the ground where you plan to build your fire pit is level. Once ready, begin assembly by placing your first block with the face outward at the desired edge of the pit. Continue placing the blocks closely adjacent to each other, forming a gradual curve that will eventually shape into a circle. Build up as many layers as you desire for the height of your fire pit.
For added stability, we recommend gluing each subsequent layer to the one below it—attach the second course to the first, the third to the second, and so on. Overlapping the blocks at the joints will further reinforce your project.
It's as simple as that—build until you're satisfied with the size of your fire pit and enjoy!
When building more than one layer, blocks should overlap as pictured.
