Finally built that backyard fire pit everyone wanted
Got it done this past Saturday. Spent like 6 hours digging, laying the gravel base, stacking the stones I grabbed from the local landscape supplier. My back is killing me but the kids think I'm a hero now. We had s'mores that night and my wife actually put her phone down for once. Totally worth it. If anyone wants tips on the stone pattern or how deep to dig, I'm happy to help.
Six hours is solid work. Did you have to reinforce anything underneath or just go straight to gravel? I'm thinking about doing something similar but worried about it settling after a few months.
