Select a flat, open spot near your patio or deck. Clear grass and level the ground.
Lay concrete pavers in a circular or square pattern to form the base. Then use a level to ensure an even surface.
Arrange the fire pit stones in a tight circle, about 4 feet wide. Stack 3–4 layers high, using fire-rated adhesive between each for stability.
Install a fire ring or burner kit in the center for safety and cleaner flames.
Surround the area with gravel for a polished look, then place your lounge chairs evenly around the pit.
Hang string lights from nearby trees or poles, spacing them evenly overhead to create a warm, inviting canopy.
