To make a DIY fire pit, you'll need some basic materials and tools. Start by choosing a spot for your fire pit—it should be in a clear, open area with no overhead obstructions. Gather bricks, stones, or other materials to create an encircling wall for your fire pit. Use concrete, sand, and/or gravel to create the base and fill any gaps between the materials. Make sure your fire pit is at least 10 feet from any structures or combustible objects. Once the wall is built and in place, create a mound of gravel in the center of your pit for drainage. Lastly, use fire-resistant materials to cover the floor of your fire pit to help prevent burning embers from escaping.
