Learn how to build a fire pit with Wickes. A fire pit makes a fantastic addition to your garden, and can be used for barbecues and socialising during those long summer evenings.

Your fire pit will quickly become a key focal point in your garden, so bear that in mind when you work out its position, for instance you might not want it in the centre of the lawn, or hidden away in a corner.

You’ll also want enough space around the fire pit to place chairs for socialising and you’d need to look for somewhere that is relatively flat so the Fire Pit won’t move over time.

Be sure to place it several metres away from trees, bushes and buildings as burning wood can snap and pop, sending sparks into the air, increasing the risk of fire spreading.Once your fire pit is finished, as well as keeping you warm, you can also use it to toast marshmallows or as a BBQ. You’ll find a full list of tools and materials at the end of the video.

  • Or just buy a cheap fire pit, currently £24 from Tesco with grill tight arses. Plus that looks unsightly and difficult to clear ashes.

  • Hi there, can I use building bricks instead? They were left behind by the former owners, so I want to specifically know if I could save money and use those or would I have to buy clay ones?

  • wickes dont actually sell standard clay bricks in store . Only by order in a ridiculously huge amount. Why uk diy stores cant sell suitable bricks or even curved bricks for a circular design I have no idea.

  • This video has made me embarrassed to be British. After spending 2 hours watching about 40 different American DIYers building various fire pits, I have now watched this 'official' Wickes video. This is just a man stacking bricks on his lawn! LMAO. Also I'm pretty sure if you use the wrong stones in the base they can explode, the Americans suggest 'lava stones' or 'fire glass beads'.

  • Best video, thank u for not over complicating and doing alot of unnecessary work like cutting and sawing things lol...geeze some people be doin to much!!
