Easy Fire Pits

A firepit is a backyard must, especially if you live in a location with a cooler climate, but it can be pricey. You can still gather around a nice firepit by making your own at a considerably lower cost. To do this, surround a metal firepit bowl with cinder blocks or pavers in a staggered pattern to mimic the look of a nice stone firepit.
