Fire Pit Ideas.

I built a new deck a few years back. In the far corner from the house, I cut in a 6' diameter fire pit. Basically the center of the pit is where the corner of the deck should be. I used semi circular landscaping blocks from Menards. I built it three courses high and used landscaping block adhesive from a caulk gun to glue them together. Basically I put a stake in the middle with a three foot string on it and used that to lay out my circle. Put down the first course on a bed of play sand and ran a thick bead of the caulk on top of that. Laid down the second course and repeated. Once it set up, it's super strong. I made it oversized so the bricks wouldn't get too hot. Ive had some decent sized cired and some offer bricks are reddish on the inside, but I haven't had any break due to heat.
