How To Build Your Own Outdoor Propane Fire Pit

A propane fire pit is a great way to extend your outdoor season and enjoy cool evenings with friends and family. It's also a relatively easy project to build yourself, even if you're not a DIY expert. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to build your own outdoor propane fire pit:

Materials you'll need

A fire pit bowl or a pre-made fire pit kit
A propane tank
A propane regulator
A propane hose
A lava rock or fire glass
A shovel
A tamper
A level
A tape measure
A pencil or marker
A drill and drill bits
A wrench

Steps

1. Choose a location for your fire pit. The best location is on a level surface, away from trees and other flammable materials.

2. Dig a hole for the fire pit bowl. The hole should be about 12 inches deep and 18 inches in diameter.

3. Place the fire pit bowl in the hole. Use a level to make sure the bowl is level.

4. Fill the hole around the fire pit bowl with dirt. Tamp down the dirt to secure the bowl.

5. Attach the propane tank to the regulator. The regulator should be attached to the hose, and the hose should be attached to the fire pit bowl.

6. Place the lava rock or fire glass in the fire pit bowl. The lava rock or fire glass will help to distribute the heat from the fire.

7. Light the fire pit. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for lighting the fire pit.

8. Enjoy your fire pit! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the warmth and ambiance of your new fire pit.
