      The first step in building a fire-pit

      This is the first step to build-a-fire-pit in which the foundation is being layed down before the blocks are started.



      The above picture shows the firepit being built on a terraced hill. The diamond wall block work has already secured the terrace before the firepit was started.

      This is the second step in building a firepit - laying the stones to shape the fire-pit. Notice the rod in the center. It is used to get a perfect circle.

      build fire-pit.

      Cement is then poured in blocks that shape the firepit.

      This is the last step in which the capstone has been placed on the fire-pit and the outside has been faced with stone. Fire-brick lines the inside of the firepit.

      Notice the ground around the pit has been smoothed getting ready for laying the pavers.

      In the lower center you can see a walkway leading to stairs that lead down to the level of the paver patio.
