Fire pits ...
With cooler temperatures now beginning to set in around the country, the thought of spending time sitting around a fire becomes very inviting. There seems to be a growing trend to add these glowing warm pits to outdoor living areas such as patios; I've talked to several contractors that are offering them as an added amenity and focal point, some even fabricating decoraitve concrete benchs to go along with them. How many of you are doing so? Would like to see your photos of them.

pit was built from 12" block then overlayed . Several yrs ago I stamped the center portion of this patio ashler slate customer asked me back to enlarge and build the retaining walls and firepit. Newer area is a texture mat finish in walnut I thought extending in ashler slate pattern was not a option as the seam would shout this is a add on so I used the texture in a dark color and used same color on the wall cap. Pit has a concrete floor and a drain above that river biscuit stone with firebrick in center.

The popularity of fire pits and the fire effects they produce in the garden is one of fastest growing trends in outdoor design. The allure of sitting around a fire ring has been around since the beginning of mankind. Fire provides warmth, light, a cooking source and, of course relaxation. A dancing flame has a mesmerizing affect that encourages you to unwind and settle in. The popularity of fire pits, or conversation pits as they are commonly called, has grown rapidly in recent years. Proper design and construction will ensure a safe and enjoyable feature that will last several decades.

Thanks Linda for the message. It was a human error ... instead of putting the link www.firepitsite.com, I paste the above link. Nonetheless I have realised my mistake and am willing to fix it.
Could you tell a step by step process on how to edit the post / link.
Tried doing it, but was unable to do so.
Regards.
