DIY Fire Pit

08 March 2010, 14.00 | Posted in Industrial Design | 2 comments »

We built this fire pit for the back yard out of some spare bricks. We used 6 square cement pavers and 30 cinder bricks (+10 more for a bench). It was hard work but well worth dragging the 1,000+ pounds of bricks up the yard. Perhaps before long we’ll add a mattress and get to “Cookin’ up a Filipino Box Spring Hog.”

    Is that bench very stable. Why size are the cement blocks and pavers? I might try this for a bench if it was stable enough. Is it still standing? Thanks

    Hi Deb,

    I’m not sure of the exact size, perhaps 18″ × 8″ × 5″? I’m not there at the moment. It is still standing and it’s surprisingly sturdy, though I imagine it could fall if bumped a bit. It would probably shift before falling though. You could probably use a tacky rubber adhesive to keep it in place.

    Hope that helps,

    Theo
