A Giant Backyard Fire Pit For Cheap

If you want to make your outdoor space more fun, a fire pit is the first step. You can use it year-round, even in winter, and if you build it well enough, it'll last years for you and your family. This design is one of the simplest but most effective that you can create. It utilizes two base layers of cinder blocks to create some height and then tops the blocks with a layer of concrete brick, so the edge of the fire pit has a uniform surface.

This is definitely the type of project you're going to want to use mortar for.
