7 DIY Fire Pits You Can Build

7 DIY Fire Pits You Can Create

It’s s’mores season! That yummy, sweet, crunchy, ooey-gooey treat that has made many a childhood memory. Summer evenings are made for s’mores. When the temperatures begin to dip, it’s time for melting marshmallows over an open flame…getting them ready to smoosh up next to a chocolate bar in-between graham crackers. OH THE YUM. Don’t have a fireplace or regular access to a bonfire? How about a fire pit? There are many commercially available at hardware stores, but why not consider building your own? We’ve got seven great DIY projects, from simple to complex; all would be awesome s’more-makers.

    These firepits are beautiful! We absolutely love using ours well into the Fall too – a great way to unplug & just enjoy being outside & away from the TV, computers, etc!
