    A detailed instruction on how to build a cobble circle patio with firepit.

    The first step is to determine the size or area of the cobble circle patio by square foot.

    I like this, firepits are fun to have. I am a handyman type and looking for cool ideas like this. The paver instructions and how to information is great.
    I am going to build a fire pit and some kind of paver patio this summer, I am looking forward to the project.

    It looks like the fire ring is going to be the tough part, and it looks like it needs to be supported to so it will not sink or settle.


    Any more tips on getting the fire pit setup correctly before installing blocks and pavers around it, and also measuring the correct height?

    I will post some more detailed information soon, but a quick note on the fire ring, I would prepare the entire base for the patio first. Add the correct amount of base material and compact it. Then install the fire pit ring of your choice, use some pavers or larger blocks under the fire ring, to support it. Fill the remaining base gravel material and grade/compact to the level of the patio and lay the pavers.

    piece of cake, sounds so simple, but I know from doing a variety of projects that they all are not easy and take some work. I would agree that will give the fire pit a strong foundation, I will check back later, if any more tips show up.
