MORE FAQ:
HOW LONG DID THIS PROJECT TAKE YOU? We did it over the span of a few weekends but it could be done in 3-5 days.
HOW MUCH DID THIS PROJECT COST? $1300 as we had most of the materials already but the chairs were the most expensive part!
DO YOU GET A LOT OF MOSQUITOES WITH THE CEDARS? No! There were already 3 cedars nearby when we built the firepit and have never had an issue with them.
ARE THE CHAIRS COMFORTABLE? Yes!
HOW HIGH ARE THE CHAIRS HUNG? I believe they're roughly 3.5 ft from the ground - that's just the height that was comfortable for us because we are both under 6 feet tall.
AREN'T THOSE HANGING CHAIRS EXPENSIVE? Yes they are now :( When I bought them they were around $300CAD each.
WHERE DID YOU GET THE BOWL FOR THE FIREPIT? We had it from a firepit we had bought years earlier at Lowes.

WOW ..love this....especially hanging those chairs. My better half has one of those chairs on a stand and the legs take up so much space on the deck. This provides a great idea to get rid of it off the deck and over to the for the idea lol

[afura]

I’ve started this project, i looked for weeks at many different fire pits and I keep coming back to yours. I am
Going to try and do everything you did, but we’ll see how it goes. If it’s okay I’ll post questions during my process.

It would be nice if you included the average cost of ALL materials including what you already had. A realistic look at the cost of everything would be helpful. Cute lawnmower mower by the way. (Not the dude)

[lisatowle]

What a beautiful area! You guys are so impressive! Wow! I wish you were my neighbors! 😂

[pozytywniezakrecony]

This is cool, makes me wanna do half circle for a fire pit /grill area.

[patriotsfan]

You did not dig those 6x6 four feet deep lol. I rented an auger last night and it took me 3 hrs to get 28".

Really like your fire pit design. However, I should have kept mine to 13 feet diameter as it looks too big for my small garden.
