What's under our Fire Pits?

Fire pits are a quick and easy add-on to make your project beautiful. Most of the time we can just build it directly over your patio pavers. Other times, if you want it cut into the patio we will install it over a small concrete footing. Whether we are building a round, square, wood burning or gas fire pit we always ensure we install to the manufacturer specs. For example, ensuring gas fire pits are ventilated, or wood burning has the proper heat protection on the block.

 

Location, Location, Location

Step 1 is strategically choosing a location for your fire pit. A lot goes into choosing the right spot, which you can go over with your free consultation when getting an estimate. You must keep fire pit contractors into consideration, all through the fire pit itself is only about 3-4 ft. in diameter, and you will need a minimum of a 100 square feet area around it (10ft x 10ft) to ensure a comfortable place to spend time around. Also, try to avoid trees and put it not too close but not too far from your home. Fire pit installers near me can guide you accordingly in making the best decision above all.

Installation

Our most common practice is to build the fire pit on top of the pavers. However some clients choose to have it cut in, in this scenario, we will mix a small concrete footing for the fire pit to sit on and then add a border around the bottom (this is a more costly addition due to the time and labor it takes). Each course is glued together. After the fire pit is built we install a metal ring to help protect the blocks from the heat, which can cause them to crack.

Finishing Touch

The fire pit is then filled with sand to the bottom of the ring and is used as a bed to place your logs on and keep the fire elevated. Above all, when adding caps to the top it can dress up your fire pit, accordingly raising the price due to more material and labor.
