How to Build a Fire Pit

1. Create the base.

To ensure you get the preferred size, begin by using a tape measure to measure the desired width and then spray paint a circle on the site to use as a guide. Then, dig out the hole, being careful to stay within those lines. Don’t skip this step! The end result should be a nice, evenly rounded (not lopsided) base, about 4 inches in depth.

Next, dig a hole and fill it with about 50 pounds of River Jacks gravel. After evening out the gravel with a rake, the depth of your stone should be about 2 inches, allowing plenty of material for burying those last smoldering logs. We compact the rock with the back of a shovel to make a nice firm surface.

2. Install the keystones, which are the base stones surrounding the steel liner. These stones form a curved, or arched, configuration, from the ground to the top of the liner.

3. Fill in the gap between the fire ring and the keystones with modified stone.

4. Add the capstones to the top of the keystones, so that they are above the highest point of the steel liner.

5. Surround the pit with an 18-inch circle of River Jacks gravel.
