Fire Pit Construction with Custom Banding
At 4:09 in
The BIGGEST Patio We’ve EVER BUILT!
What happens here
The fire pit construction is shown, featuring a custom banding detail. It starts with a base course of large 'Roca' pavers, followed by a middle band of 'Mika' pavers (matching the patio's accent band), and topped with another course of 'Roca' pavers. This creates a layered, integrated look. Importantly, for proper ventilation, especially when using gas fire pits, custom vents are installed. Instead of standard vents, modified shower drains are used, spray-painted black for a sleek, unobtrusive appearance. These are strategically placed within the fire pit structure to ensure adequate airflow and safety. The pavers are adhered using outdoor construction adhesive.
Goal: This step details the construction of a fire pit, incorporating custom paver banding details and a special ventilation system using modified shower drains.
