The holidays are over and the much-anticipated cooler temperatures are here; perfect timing to cozy-up to a warm fire.

Here’s How…

STEP 1 

Draw a 49” diameter circle with marking paint on the lawn. Remove all sod inside of the circle and make it approximately 2” deep. 

STEP 2 

Be sure to level the soil 

STEP 3 

Add approximately 2” of paver base to the circle and spread evenly. Moisten paver base to aid compaction. Using a tamper, pack the entire area until firm. Then, add another inch of paver base. Level. 

STEP 4 

Place stones on the circumstance of the paver base to make a circle. Be sure to lay tightly and level. 

STEP 5 

After the first layer of stone is set, lay another layer on top. Attach layers with concrete adhesive and press firmly. 

STEP 6 

After the second layer is finished, lay a third layer and attach with concrete adhesive. 

STEP 7 

After all stones are set, install the fire ring and be sure the adhesive cure time has passed. 

STEP 8 

Pour lava rock into the bottom of the fire pit until the level reaches the bottom of the fire ring.
