What happens here

Begin laying the first course of fire pit blocks. Use a level to ensure each block is perfectly horizontal and aligned with its neighbors. The blocks used are 'contemporary' style pavers, which fit within the existing patio design. The gas pipe will necessitate some blocks to be notched around it for a tight fit and a clean appearance. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap blocks into place, ensuring a snug fit and level surface.

Goal: Construct the initial layer of the fire pit, ensuring it is level and accommodates the gas pipe.

Tools and materials

  • Contemporary Fire Pit Blocks Unspecified — Building the main structure of the fire pit
  • Gas Pipe Unspecified — The gas line for the burner
  • Level — Ensuring blocks are perfectly horizontal and aligned
  • Rubber Mallet — Tapping blocks into place for a snug and level fit

What they say

little detail happening. So, let's go. [Applause] [Music] There you go. [Music] We got our gas pipe little bit off center. We made some adjustments and uh so now we're going to just have to notch our block around that. But that way once we put a 90 on this plumbers put a 90 on this. It's going to give us plenty of working space on the inside. So little notch around this and we'll be good to go. You can see we're doing two. Then we're on this way and it's basically going to be 2 and 1/2. So with these, because they have this shamfer on it, we didn't want to have to make any cuts, it's easier. Plus, we're going to keep the same look all the way around cuz if we cut this, you know, we're going to delete a shamfer on here. So, we don't want to do that. So, we're going to run this way and be good to go. [Music] [Applause] [Music]
