This style is great if you’re trying to make your fire pit as natural as possible. With only stone and wood, this design creates a large but unimposing option for all your fireside activities. Also, the space below the benches provides easy storage and access to firewood whenever it’s needed!

 In-ground

An in-ground, or submerged, fire pit has an unlimited number of designs, but they all give your yard the flare you’re looking for. Adding stone or gravel around the outside can give it a natural look and also help keep people away from the edges.

 Washer Drum

This fire pit idea only takes about half an hour and $10 to make! Cheap, quick, and fun! The layout of the drum allows for an incredibly easy fire pit shape and the small holes around the outside provide a great lighting element at night!

 Tree Ring

If you want to get a little creative, then this fire pit is just for you! Take any extra tree rings you may have lying around the house and put them to use to make that fire pit you’ve always wanted! Use whatever you’d like as the filler between the two rings to get the style you’re looking for.

 Rectangular

It’s bad to be a square but who said anything about a rectangle! Abandon the traditional circular fire pit, and build yourself a comfy rectangular one. This not only puts a spin on the classic backyard fireplace, but can be designed in nearly any way you want to best complement the rest of your yard.

    Is there a link to step by step instructions? I’m new to Pinterest so I’m not too sure how this all works. I love the gravel pit style and would like to build it
