Stone Fire Pit Construction image and description

But what materials you may actually use? The medieval and kind of traditional look is achieved when the feature is not just decorated, but built out of huge cement or sandstone blocks. At first, contractors start with digging the base hole of 6-12 inches deep. Then, they proceed to laying the circled layers of bricks to create the feature’s walls, shifting each row by a half brick to reach more interesting effect and connecting everything with masonry cement. They keep on checking the level of each row to ensure the stability and straight look of the finished product. The number of rows they make depends on client’s wishes and blocks’ size, but contractors usually lay from 3 to 4 rows to make an average feature.  Then, they add a metal bowl or ring inside the feature, fill it with gravel or other decorative stones and finish it off by laying the last row of capstones.
