Get Creative With a Backyard Fire Pit
A fire pit is a popular addition to your yard since it creates a cozy gathering spot. And building one lets you get creative as you determine its size, shape, and materials to suit your needs and sense of style.

- Inexpensive Fire Pit
From thriftylittlemom.com
You don't necessarily need mortar to build a fire pit from retaining wall blocks, as Kim Anderson of thriftylittlemom.com proves. As long as they're stacked correctly, she says, they'll stay put. Her four-tier fire pit uses a cleared, flat area of her backyard as a bottom, and she broke a block in half to use in the second tier as a way for air to reach the fire.
