Update your backyard with a DIY fire pit


Fire pits are fun and festive, adding a welcome element to backyard gathering spots and boosting appeal for potential homeowners, too. While some DIY fire pits have a range of amenities -- gas lines, seating -- you can construct a basic DIY fire pit that isn't too expensive, difficult, or time-consuming.
This DIY fire pit burns wood or charcoal. Although it includes a concrete base and mortared bricks, you can find pre-made retaining wall units for the DIY fire pit enclosure that may cut down on your labor.
The best site for your DIY fire pit is one that's flat and about 10 feet in diameter, as well as far away from flammable structures such as decks or shrubs. For safety, you should also surround your DIY fire pit with a nonflammable surface material such as granite or pavers.
