Fire Pits
A fire pit is the simplest way to gather outdoors. We build them in brick, stone and block, round or square, wood or gas, with a firebrick liner, proper clearances from the house and trees, and seating walls if you like.

About fire pits
How big should a fire pit be?
Most are about three to just under four feet across inside, with seating three to four feet beyond. Our Fire Pit Planner sizes the ring and counts blocks.
Wood or gas?
Wood gives crackle and aroma. Gas is clean and instant. Some places limit open burning, so check local rules.
How far from the house should it be?
Many guidelines suggest at least ten to twenty-five feet, and local rules differ. We plan the spot carefully.
