      I’m being overwhelmed because a lot of nice fire pits are here. It seems to me the hardest part is deciding which one to build.

      I like the square pit with the fire resistant cinder block caps, red lava rocks, and a bag of mortar. There is only a list of supplies and a picture of the completed project. Are there step by step instructions for those of us that need them?

        Unfortunately for that particular project, I couldn’t find the detailed instructions because the original source couldn’t be found. However, a forum poster from the following link provides some basic instructions for this project: https://www.budget101.com/community/topic/diy-cinderblock-firepit-idea/ …. hope that helps!

      These all look cool, but what is being done about sparks flying around. I have wooded area 60 feet away from where I want a fire pit. Should I be concerned?

        According to most community guidelines, your fire pit should be at least 10-15 feet from your home, wooded areas, and your neighbor’s yard so it sounds like you have plenty of space to build one safely. Also, it should not be near overhanging branches, wooden decks, or fences. You can check with your local fire departments regulations in regards to specific rules for your community. Sometimes a burn permit is required. Hope that helps!

      I LOVE your fire pit, and these pictures are amazing. Your blog was recommended on bloglovin, and I am so glad I subscribed. I can’t wait for the tutorial for the circle bench. Pinned and followed.
