The most CUSTOM fire pit 😮 #hardscaping #porcelain
What happens here
Begin by preparing the base where the fire pit will sit. Use a shovel to clear any debris and ensure the area is level. Compact the soil thoroughly with a tamper to create a stable foundation. Install a central drain or gas line pipe in the center of the prepared area, ensuring it is properly secured and level. Then, position the inner circular formwork, which appears to be a pre-fabricated wooden ring, around the central pipe. This will define the inner diameter of the fire pit's concrete structure.
Goal: Establish a stable foundation and the inner structure of the fire pit
