Construct Gas Fire Pit

If I’m not invited to a night party or two here, I will be v sad.
What happens here
The video displays a stylish rectangular fire pit with blue glass media and a glass wind screen. This construction step involves building the fire pit's enclosure, which can be done using concrete blocks faced with stone veneer or a prefabricated kit. The gas burner assembly is then installed within the enclosure, and connected to a natural gas or propane line. Proper ventilation must be incorporated into the design for safety. Finally, the decorative blue fire glass media is added to the basin, and a tempered glass wind screen is installed around the burner area to enhance safety by containing the flame and improving stability in windy conditions.
Goal: Build a functional and aesthetic gas fire pit.
