Standalone Fire Pit
A masonry supply store offers both inspiration and the ability to make a project happen—the wall blocks needed to build a standalone fire pit can be found there, as can the fire pit insert. Early on in your planning, you will want to decide whether it will be a gas-fueled or wood-fueled fire feature. Or you may decide that you favor a fire pit kit, to make it easy on yourself. Ideally, once you’ve chosen the fire feature you want to add to your backyard, you can purchase as many materials as possible at the same time.
Patio Pavers
If you want to create a masonry surrounding for the fire pit, you can also look into patio pavers at the supply store—a smart move to ensure that the pavers and wall stone will be complementary. You’ll have plenty of options with regard to pavers. Are you looking to establish a modern style, with smooth, equally sized rectangular pavers, or do you want to go with a more modern vibe with irregularly shaped pavers?
Should you finish off the patio area with a seating wall, perhaps made of the same wall blocks as your fire pit? It would create an inviting gathering space. The seating wall also provides people with an extra place to sit as they get cozy and warm by the fire.
Construction Materials
When you construct your fire pit and accompanying structures, you’ll need the right construction materials. Fire-safe construction adhesive and a rubber mallet are just two of the items that can help you put your fire pit together. You may also need gravel to add to the fire pit area and any other building items that will help you construct the fire pit you’ve always envisioned. The exact materials you’ll need will depend on the type of fire pit you’re building and also depend on if you’re building a retaining wall or other masonry structures along with the fire pit.
Accessories
Once you have everything you need to build your fire pit, you may want to look around the masonry supply center a bit more to see if any accessories catch your eye. Since the fire pit is going to be a welcome entertaining and relaxing addition to your home, you may want to add some other features to make the area even better. For example, look at the outdoor audio and outdoor lighting options available at the store. You may want to add music features, such as patio speakers, and nighttime lighting, including wall light fixtures, to your new entertaining space.
