Warm Up Your Backyard with a Fire Pit

March is finally here, meaning that spring is right around the corner! Central Florida is beginning to warm up, and families and friends will begin to spend more time outdoors rather than inside. One way you can make your Orlando backyard a little more inviting is through the construction of a fire pit.

An outdoor fire pit is essentially like a fireplace for your backyard that can warm your patio while adding ambiance and a touch of fun for the whole family. Outdoor fire pits make an attractive addition to any backyard, and are fairly easy to build.

If you would like to build a fire pit in your backyard, begin by marking your pit location and laying out your bricks. Bedrock Industries can help supply you with the perfect brick for your pit from elite manufacturers such as New England Field Stone, Landmark Stone, and Eldorado Stone. Secondly, create a level trench for the bricks. Then, fill your trench and lay and level the first course. After your trench is completed, you can begin to assemble your walls. Lastly fill the pit and cap the blocks.

As always, do your research before completing any sort of renovations to your backyard. Be sure to check your local laws and codes regarding open flames, and keep in mind that the pit must be located far from any overhanging trees, your home, and any other flammable structures.
