  • This week at Project Build Stuff we are building a DIY fire pit seating area. My backyard needed a serious makeover and my old fire pit was looking rough. Check out how we transformed it into an awesome outdoor fire pit seating area for less then $400.

    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 !!

    Love this idea! Definitely something everyone can do even in a small backyard.

    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!

    I hope this guy blows up. He seems pretty genuine and doesn’t sugarcoat stuff. #respect

    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!

    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 RUclips 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 🇧🇪!

    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.

    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

  • @jillianluker2382

    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!

    What's the outside diameter of the firepit?

  • @ericpaz2854
    @ericpaz2854 Год назад +3

    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.

    How many pavers did you use?

  • @snor69
    @snor69 11 месяцев назад +1

    Dude first off amazing video I respect the fact you took the time out to show others. I have one question. Wouldn't it be more ideal to first mix and add the water to the concrete and then pour it in jimmying the post to set all the concrete in that way all of the concrete is wet?

  • @louballs
    @louballs 2 года назад

    Nice work. I will likely do something like this in my yard. Did the pavers hold up and stay in place over time?

    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.

    @Patmanduu 2 года назад +3

    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.
