How To Build Your Own Outdoor Fire Pit On A Budget

Whether you love entertaining friends at your home or a cozy night spending some quality time with the family, here's the one thing that might be missing from your backyard.

With summer in full swing, people everywhere are trying to spend as much time as possible outdoors. In the daytime, there's nothing like a trip to the beach or a dip in the pool, but as we can see in this next helpful do-it-yourself video, you can continue the family fun all night long, too.

We recently showed you how to make this inexpensive, compact gel fuel fire pit that's small enough to fit on a table top or to give as a gift. This next tutorial from the experts at Lowe's shows us how to build a fire pit big enough to make you the envy of the entire neighborhood.

I don't know about you, but I use my fire pit about once a week.It's a great way to gather my friends and have some inexpensive fun at home. Since I rent my home, I bought a movable metal fire pit for about $150. Unfortunately, after just a few uses I'm realizing the benefits of making your own. Not only does a real stone fire pit look gorgeous, it lasts forever and it cuts the cost in less than half.
