Have you ever imagined having a home where you can sit around a cozy fire and chat with friends and family? You're not alone! Backyard space is one of the most sought after features in Mansfield homes for sale. And Ohio has just the right weather to make having a fire pit an enjoyable activity during most of the year.
Building your own fire pit is a great way to personalize your backyard space and it's a project that's within almost everyone's DIY skills. These tips can help you get started.
The internet has tons of plans and pictures to help you build a fire pit. Consider the location, style of the fire pit, amount of work you want to do, and the kind of fuel you plan to use.
Building a basic fire pit is pretty simple. Clear the area of anything that could catch fire and level it if necessary. If the area is grass, you may want to dig it out. Use non-combustible material like sand, gravel, or bricks as a base. The area should be at least 36 to 44 inches wide to provide space around the fire and let people be close enough to talk. If you're going with an in-ground design, put in a border. If you're using a raised design, build up the sides of your fire pit. Arrange the seating and enjoy your fire!
Building a fire pit will help you enjoy the backyard of your new home, bring hours of happiness and make memories for years to come.
