Stone fire pits are a great way to add some style and entertaining class to your backyard and they are not hard to build. In fact, you can build an outdoor stone fire pit for the backyard in about 3 hours from start to finish.
Materials for the DIY Stone Fire Pit Project:
- Fire Brick
- Rebar
- String
- Spray Paint
- Stone
- Mortar
- Shovel
- Hammer
- Sponge
DIY Stone Fire Pit Step 1:
Begin by using the hammer to place a piece of rebar into the ground in the center of the area in which you want to place the stone fire pit. If you do not have a rebar you may also use a wooden stake.
DIY Stone Fire Pit Step 2:
Tie the string to the top of the rebar and use it to mark out the area in which you want the fire pit to take up. For instance, if you want a stone fire pit in the backyard that is 4 feet wide then you will use the string to mark two feet all the way around the rebar thus making a four-foot circle.

DIY Stone Fire Pit Step 6:
Wet the brick completely and then use mortar to adhere the stones to the outer edges of the fire brick. The fire brick wall will prevent the heat from being too hot for the stones and also create a wall for the stones to be built against.
DIY Stone Fire Pit Step 7:
Run mortar along the outer edge of the brick wall and then use stones to create a mosaic-style outer edge of the fire pit. If you need a particular shape of the stone to fill a crevice you can gently hammer the stone one its edges to break it where necessary and create the piece that you need. (the pieces do not have to be perfect)
DIY Stone Fire Pit Step 8:
Once you have placed stone along the entire outer edge of the fire pit you can use mortar to fill any crevices around the stone. Use a wet sponge to sponge off any excess mortar from the stones themselves. A large grout sponge works well for this step.
