- 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.

#DIY #firpit #outdoorseating - Jak na to + styl
First video that I’m actually gonna do. Please make more videos!! I appreciate this so much.
Only video I can find that’s practical.
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.
I hope this guy blows up. He seems pretty genuine and doesn’t sugarcoat stuff. #respect
Build a deck for us would yuh? One that’s 5ft off the ground and 16’ x 24’ (LxW)
Simply beautiful!!
Brilliant tutorial! Easy and fun to watch! Thank you!
Simple and impactful. 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 CZcams 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 🇧🇪!
Gefällt mir sehr gut👍👍👍
Looks beautiful especially at night!
Looks great!
This is almost exactly what I m gonna be doing in our backyard. Thank you!!
Me too😊💯
The hanging lights and the poles really looked great!
😍 Awesome work. Thanks for sharing!
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!
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!
Cool back yard ideas 🤘
Nice job! Thanks for showing the cost budget! Very helpful in how much I would need if I wanted to do something similar!
Fire pit looks great thanks man
Thanks for the idea brother , I also live in IN. I have to give this a try.
Well done!
Excellent job
Great work!
Thank you for sharing. I'm in process of turning an old veg patch into a fire pit/ seating area. I already have the gravel in place and great idea of adding the posts and lighting.
Great job!
Omg! Looks so easy!
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
I am going to do something very similar to this . Thanks for sharing I am planning a smokeless fire pit. With a few small mods you can have one as well.
I did this with a section of my backyard, but did a square spot. Came out great!
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.
Beautiful
You the Man!! Thanks Bud!
Love it so much!!
Very nice, love it
Love the content, honesty and inspiration been planning to put the pad down for my fire pit this summer, this was great to see
Thanks for leaving the cost at the end. For me it is important to show what you spent. I am in the process of doing the same around my fire pit. Thanks again.
Great Job!
Well done man!
Looks good
Awesome job. You just made my life much easier.
I love it .thanks so much
Loved it carnal.
Nicely done sir and video is well done as well.
I love it man
Thanks
Awesome!!!
I love it!
Awesome Video bud !!!
This is awesome! I've been looking for a good video for something like this!
Amazing 🤩
You have just gained a subscription, looks good, was explained so well, i feel like a 9 year old could do this with how simple it is, exactly what i was looking for, totally doing it in my yard
New home owner here 👋 Loving your videos so far! Very detailed but easy to follow 😊 Thanks for posting!
I am so happy I could help!
Man you worked super hard! Looks amazing!
I just started watching these videos and Im inspired lol good projects!
Me too. I've been watching for the past 2 days, and I have been glued
Thanks for posting this vidoe
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!
Awesome🔥
Great vid dude
Great video mate. Subscribed
Thank you so much!!! 👏🏼👏🏼
wow looks alot better
This is awesome, you make it look so easy. Wish I knew about your channel sooner. I subscribed instantly.
Love it
I like your idea. very good 👌👌👌👌👌👍
Thanks for the video! One tip: instead of cutting into the sod with a spade, use an edger to create your “lines” and then the pick! Just a little back saver (:
We’re doing this!
Really good job enjoy the video of the fire pit do it yourself
Thank you for sharing 🔥I want to do this with our fire pit...only square...🇨🇦
LOVED this! thank you so much for sharing. I also live in IN and wondered what was best for areas where it snows. I am a new home owner as of last year. Needed an idea that a single cat-lady could handle LOL
Indiana represent lol
Nice
I like how you post the cost of everything in the video. Thanks for that.
Thank you for made this video, I just my mine with a $292 dollars.
I got the 3/8 gravel PEA
No lights!
Thanks again!
How many pavers did you use?
Hey I’m remodeling my backyard. Great video. How much brick did you use for the hardscape when you lined the edge?
Enjoyed the video. Would have been nice to cover how you got power from the house to the fire pit for the lights…
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.
Nice work. I will likely do something like this in my yard. Did the pavers hold up and stay in place over time?
That was freaking cool about to build me a fire pit for my wife
This is exactly what I am planning on doing!
what type of gravel did you use?
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.
Great video! Thank you!
How many pavers did you use?
Maaan those are some fire pit goals right there, looks amazing! My "firepit" is literally a big metal bowl sitting on top of a concrete slab 😃 I'm going to have to try some of that thermal paint though!
Next time try using a Mantis to break up the grass. We used it when installing our patio and it was a LIFE SAVER.
Im making mine very similar to this, thanks for better ideas though ;)
Me watching in 2024” what happened last year” * checks when video was made… “ooh” 😅lol… but looks great! Looking to do the same soon!
Great video! I really want to do this in my backyard. When I went to your website from the link, I couldn’t find this project or the list of materials used. Anyway you could put it back up? Thanks!
Great video! Just wondering how many feet from the center did you draw your line?
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?
Nevermind..you did! 👍🏽
I noticed the empty light sockets running down the pole. Plans to keep little hands from electrocution?
This is great! Such a huge improvement on a tiny budget. How did you run your lights to power? Is the wire just strung across to the house?
Thanks! I have an outdoor outlet not too far away, and I just use an outfit extension cord works pretty well.
Looks awesome! I’m Wondering how you disposed of the soil? So looking forward to doing this to my backyard 😊
I have some wooded area behind the house that I was able to spread it in. I know that’s not too helpful lol
I am copying this fire pit exactly, my question is how many pavers did you use for the rim of the circle?
Awesome! Where did you plug in the lights?
How do you power the lights? Run an extension cord to the house? Or a solar power thing?
Love it, although it looks like you encroached into your swale which could flood or even wash away some of your stones in a heavy rain.
Was going to do pavers. Might just go with gravel 🙏🏾❤️. Thank you
That’s what I’m thinking too! We have a small concrete pad but I could expand that space with the pea gravel... Great video!
pro trick: watch movies on Flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.
@Leo Samir Yea, been using flixzone for years myself :)
@Leo Samir definitely, I have been watching on Flixzone for since november myself :)
How does it look after a winter of snow? Gravel hold up okay?
Hey nice vlog
What was ur distance from center to outer edge or around circle
Nice! How did you get the power to the lights?
Any ideas for an alternative to the light posts so you don't have to dig holes?
