This is the first firepit video I could actually relate to as a simple and practical one, something which an average person like me can build in a weekend !! I also liked the way this guy doesnot use heavy tools and costly materials or extensive measurements unlike some other landscaper youtubers !!
Just watched a similar video where a guy poured some giant concrete slab around his fire pit. The whole time I was thinking why doesn’t he just put down some gravel, it would be a lot easier and less expensive. I think you did it the right way. 👌
I hope this guy blows up. He seems pretty genuine and doesn’t sugarcoat stuff. #respect Build a deck for us would yuh? One that’s 5ft off the ground and 16’ x 24’ (LxW)
Thanks for leaving the cost at the end. For me it is important to show what you spent. I am in the process of doing the same around my fire pit. Thanks again.
Thank you for this video. I think you just saved me a ton of headache with the weedblocker tip. Newbie to home DIYs, so this was very helpful with no fluff or unnecessary junk. Thank you!
I love what you did here and that you provided the cost of the materials. This will give me an idea of how much I will have to spend to tackle a project like this.
Thank you for sharing. I'm in process of turning an old veg patch into a fire pit/ seating area. I already have the gravel in place and great idea of adding the posts and lighting.
You have just gained a subscription, looks good, was explained so well, i feel like a 9 year old could do this with how simple it is, exactly what i was looking for, totally doing it in my yard
I am going to do something very similar to this . Thanks for sharing I am planning a smokeless fire pit. With a few small mods you can have one as well.
How big did you make the outer circle of the pit? And how wide is your brick fire pit itself? I’m struggling to decide how much room I need for the seating area. How far out to dig from the fire pit for the outer circle.
Thanks for the video! One tip: instead of cutting into the sod with a spade, use an edger to create your “lines” and then the pick! Just a little back saver (:
For the lighting posts. You’d be better off pouring a concrete footing, extending above grade slightly, then attaching the post to that. This way they won’t rot and can be replaced. Less lateral strength perhaps, but that’s not really a requirement here.
Amazing! I plan on doing this too but with the posts set with concrete in the whiskey barrel planters...I just can't commit to putting the posts in the ground set in concrete since we will sell in a few years! Plus pretty flowers are a bonus :) If I don't want to dig up the grass to avoid dirt/grass disposal and back pain, can I use the cardboard method of killing the grass? Outline the area, set cardboard down and wait for the grass to die, add landscaping fabric and then pea gravel? Or would it be best to just dig up? Your project turned out great. Thank you!
I just have to say - you are amazing! Down to your techniques, the tools you use, and your ideas.. flawless execution. Wish I had this much handiness to do this. Maybe when my daughter is a little older and doesn't bug me so much I could do it. Lol
Great video! I really want to do this in my backyard. When I went to your website from the link, I couldn’t find this project or the list of materials used. Anyway you could put it back up? Thanks!
LOVED this! thank you so much for sharing. I also live in IN and wondered what was best for areas where it snows. I am a new home owner as of last year. Needed an idea that a single cat-lady could handle LOL
@@ProjectBuildStuff bummer. I went with incandescent on my deck for that very reason. Easy to snip out the extra for a custom length. Enjoy the space. Looks great.
Maaan those are some fire pit goals right there, looks amazing! My "firepit" is literally a big metal bowl sitting on top of a concrete slab 😃 I'm going to have to try some of that thermal paint though!
Just discovered your channel and it’s absolutely amazing … wow… easy explanations and no cutting corners or lying on the labor intensity some things may require. Probably one of the best TH-cam suggestions in a looong time! Now I can binge watch all your videos and scare my kids about future projects they are going to “volunteer” assisting me with 😂😂 Lots of love from Belgium 🇧🇪!
Little info. Water makes more rust - OSPHO or GEM RUST killer can kill the rust and then you scrape it off and top coat with enamel/spray paint/water based direct to metal paint. :)
Glad to see you put the weed block under the edgers! On your curb appeal video I was talking back to you saying, “Noooo...put the weed block under the edgers.” I learned the hard way when weeds grew up right at the edge and I had to redo mine. Nice fire pit, but you didn’t include in the cost the chairs. Also, have you used the pit yet? I really like the look of the gravel. How do you find the chair legs and gravel working out? My only concern would be having the chair legs displace the gravel and rip holes in the weed block.

Took a huge amount of inspiration from this video to build mine, it will be finished this weekend.
Thanks a lot for the great video!

Love this idea! Definitely something everyone can do even in a small backyard.
This is almost exactly what I m gonna be doing in our backyard. Thank you!!
Me too😊💯

I just started watching these videos and Im inspired lol good projects!
Me too. I've been watching for the past 2 days, and I have been glued
You have just gained a subscription, looks good, was explained so well, i feel like a 9 year old could do this with how simple it is, exactly what i was looking for, totally doing it in my yard
I like how you post the cost of everything in the video. Thanks for that.
I am going to do something very similar to this . Thanks for sharing I am planning a smokeless fire pit. With a few small mods you can have one as well.
I did this with a section of my backyard, but did a square spot. Came out great!
Love the content, honesty and inspiration been planning to put the pad down for my fire pit this summer, this was great to see
Awesome job. You just made my life much easier.
Thank you for made this video, I just my mine with a $292 dollars.
I got the 3/8 gravel PEA
No lights!
Thanks again!
How many pavers did you use?
Thanks for the idea brother , I also live in IN. I have to give this a try.
New home owner here 👋 Loving your videos so far! Very detailed but easy to follow 😊 Thanks for posting!
I am so happy I could help!
The hanging lights and the poles really looked great!
How big did you make the outer circle of the pit? And how wide is your brick fire pit itself? I’m struggling to decide how much room I need for the seating area. How far out to dig from the fire pit for the outer circle.
Thanks for the video! One tip: instead of cutting into the sod with a spade, use an edger to create your “lines” and then the pick! Just a little back saver (:
Any ideas for an alternative to the light posts so you don't have to dig holes?
Simply beautiful!!
How did you ge6t the power to the lights?
Looks beautiful especially at night!
For the lighting posts. You’d be better off pouring a concrete footing, extending above grade slightly, then attaching the post to that. This way they won’t rot and can be replaced. Less lateral strength perhaps, but that’s not really a requirement here.
please elaborate

What did you end up doing? I would be afraid the cardboard wouldn't be level.
@@skylar-2133 Never got around to doing a firepit yet, unfortunately! We started with a large deck project and a pool instead. It's still on our list!
I just have to say - you are amazing! Down to your techniques, the tools you use, and your ideas.. flawless execution. Wish I had this much handiness to do this. Maybe when my daughter is a little older and doesn't bug me so much I could do it. Lol
Only video I can find that’s practical.
What's the outside diameter of the firepit?
Fire pit looks great thanks man
This is exactly what I am planning on doing!
what type of gravel did you use?
Great video! Thank you!
How many pavers did you use?
Hey nice vlog
What was ur distance from center to outer edge or around circle
3 feet post in for string of lights wow!
Try a county with boulders all over
Thank you for sharing 🔥I want to do this with our fire pit...only square...🇨🇦
Man you worked super hard! Looks amazing!
Hey I’m remodeling my backyard. Great video. How much brick did you use for the hardscape when you lined the edge?
Great video! I really want to do this in my backyard. When I went to your website from the link, I couldn’t find this project or the list of materials used. Anyway you could put it back up? Thanks!

Indiana represent lol
Next time try using a Mantis to break up the grass. We used it when installing our patio and it was a LIFE SAVER.
Was going to do pavers. Might just go with gravel 🙏🏾❤️. Thank you
That’s what I’m thinking too! We have a small concrete pad but I could expand that space with the pea gravel... Great video!
pro trick: watch movies on Flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.
@Leo Samir Yea, been using flixzone for years myself :)
@Leo Samir definitely, I have been watching on Flixzone for since november myself :)
If you rent a sod cutter from your local box store the grass removal step would only take about an hour. Super easy.
That was freaking cool about to build me a fire pit for my wife
Excellent job
Looks good. You should cut the extra light strand out and splice in a cable to get rid of those empty sockets. Assuming it's not an LED light strand.
They are LED lights and the plug is at the end of the stand unfortunately. Wish I could!
@@ProjectBuildStuff bummer. I went with incandescent on my deck for that very reason. Easy to snip out the extra for a custom length. Enjoy the space. Looks great.
Nice job! Thanks for showing the cost budget! Very helpful in how much I would need if I wanted to do something similar!
Great job👍🏽 Just would like to know where you got that many pavers for $40..lol.
Enjoyed the video. Would have been nice to cover how you got power from the house to the fire pit for the lights…
Omg! Looks so easy!
Really good job enjoy the video of the fire pit do it yourself
This is awesome! I've been looking for a good video for something like this!
Love it, although it looks like you encroached into your swale which could flood or even wash away some of your stones in a heavy rain.
i would paint those posts black or dark brown and also get some end tables and maybe a coffee table
Brilliant tutorial! Easy and fun to watch! Thank you!
Me watching in 2024” what happened last year” * checks when video was made… “ooh” 😅lol… but looks great! Looking to do the same soon!
Nicely done sir and video is well done as well.
Great video! Just wondering how many feet from the center did you draw your line?
Simple and impactful. Thank you
Hydro for the lights? Extension cords?
Is there a working link for the supply list? Wondering how many pavers to get for this size.
😍 Awesome work. Thanks for sharing!
Maaan those are some fire pit goals right there, looks amazing! My "firepit" is literally a big metal bowl sitting on top of a concrete slab 😃 I'm going to have to try some of that thermal paint though!
You the Man!! Thanks Bud!
wow looks alot better
Looks awesome! I’m Wondering how you disposed of the soil? So looking forward to doing this to my backyard 😊
I have some wooded area behind the house that I was able to spread it in. I know that’s not too helpful lol
Gefällt mir sehr gut👍👍👍
Loved it carnal.

This is awesome, you make it look so easy. Wish I knew about your channel sooner. I subscribed instantly.
I like your idea. very good 👌👌👌👌👌👍
Cool back yard ideas 🤘

:)
Nice work. What size of 4x4 posts did you use?
I went with 10 footers that I put 3 feet into the ground.
Very nice, love it
How do you power the lights? Run an extension cord to the house? Or a solar power thing?
Great work!
We’re doing this!
So I did the exact same and have a question. What did you do with the extension cord for the lights??
Awesome Video bud !!!
Awesome! Where did you plug in the lights?
This is great! Such a huge improvement on a tiny budget. How did you run your lights to power? Is the wire just strung across to the house?
Thanks! I have an outdoor outlet not too far away, and I just use an outfit extension cord works pretty well.
Well done man!
Looks great!
Looks good
Nice! How did you get the power to the lights?
How does it look after a winter of snow? Gravel hold up okay?
Great vid dude
Well done!
Beautiful
How did you run power to the lights? Outdoor ?Extension cord from the house

Im making mine very similar to this, thanks for better ideas though ;)
I noticed the empty light sockets running down the pole. Plans to keep little hands from electrocution?
Great job!
How did you plug your lights in?
Thanks for posting this vidoe
