Assembly Instructions:
Flagstone Wall Firepit Kit
When installing Firepit Kit on a grass area or lawn, mark out a 49”
(125cm) diameter circle using marking paint and proceed to Step 2.
If installing on a suitable patio area, use chalk rather than paint to
draw a 49” (125cm) diameter circle and proceed to Step 5.
Carefully place steel fire ring, flange side down into the paver base/
sand creating an indention. Carefully lift the fire ring straight up,
trying to disturb as little paver base/sand as possible. This step will
create a circular mark, or guide for you to begin placing the block for
your Firepit Kit.
Pour 1 ½” to 2” of paver base/coarse sand inside the excavated area,
ensuring that the height of the sand is even and level. Mist the sand
with water and use a hand tamper to evenly compact the entire area
inside the circle. Pour an additional ½” to 1” of paver base/sand into
circular area and level. Do not compact.
Using a shovel, remove all sod, dirt, roots and any other organic
material, digging to an even depth of 2” within the area of the circle.
Place wall blocks on top of sand around the inner rim of the
indention in the paver base. Wall blocks should be placed long face
out, against each other to create a complete circle. Level each unit
from front to back and side to side as the circle is completed. Slight
adjustments to wall blocks may be necessary to minimize any gaps
between the units.
Create an even, level area using your shovel to remove any high
spots. Ensure that the surface area inside the circle is level using
a standard household level.
This step is called “dry fitting” to ensure positioning of block before
adhering in place in step 8. When laying the second course of blocks,
be sure to follow a “one over two” pattern, aligning middle of the
each block over the joint made between two blocks under it. Ensure
blocks are level front to back and side to side as you complete ring
of second course.
Dry fit third course of blocks with the joints at the ends aligning with
the joints on first course. Apply adhesive as previously instructed in
Step 8. After all blocks are in place, and while adhesive is still fresh,
slide the steel fire ring into the center of the project. Block may
move slightly or need to be slid outward to allow fire ring to drop
into place.
Lift one block at a time from its position on the second course and
apply two thick beads of concrete adhesive, near the center of stone
and 2” inches apart. The beads should run parallel with the wall
face (end to end not front to back). Replace stone in original position
pressing down firmly while twisting slightly.
The outside lip of the steel fire ring will rest on the inside edge of the
wall block. Ensure that the ring is completely embedded and the lip
of the ring is in contact with top surface of block around third course.
Re-align block if necessary by tapping them back against steel insert
and evening out any large gaps between block ends.
Repeat the process for all blocks on second course.
After the concrete adhesive has dried, fill the bottom of the fire pit
with gravel/lava rock, leveling the material as you fill. Gravel/lava
rock should fill up to the bottom edge of the steel fire ring.
Warning:
DO NOT USE ANY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS ON, IN OR AROUND THIS FIREPIT KIT SUCH AS
LIGHTER FLUID, GASOLINE, KEROSENE, ALCOHOL, ETC. USING THESE, OR SIMILAR, MATERIALS IN ANY WAY
MAY RESULT IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAUSING SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH AS WELL AS DAMAGE
TO PROPERTY.
• Steel insert must be used with wall blocks to avoid risk of serious injury or property damage. Do not
assemble, place or use fire pit on any combustible surface (including wood or plastic composite decks).
• This Firepit Kit should not be placed within 20 feet of any walls, trees and/or structures.
• DO NOT use the unit indoors due to hazard of carbon monoxide fumes. Lack of ventilation can cause death.
• DO NOT use under any unprotected combustible structure. Keep combustible surfaces at least one yard (3
feet) away from all sides of the fire pit.
• Children must be carefully supervised when they are near the firepit area!
• Use with extreme care and at your own risk!
• This fire pit must be attended at all times!
• DO NOT build fire pit on wooden or plastic composite decks or on any other combustible surface.
• USE CAUTION. Fire ring will remain very hot for a period of time after using.
• Keep any electrical supply cords away from any heated surfaces.
• For best results allow firepit to cool naturally. Using water to douse flames can cause premature
breakdown of both the steel ring insert and blocks due to rapid temperature shift. To increase the life
of your firepit first let the fire finish burning the wood (which is the “fuel” in the firepit) all the way down
to coals. Then, using a shovel (or similar long handled tool), begin placing dirt and/or sand onto the hot
embers. Occasionally stir the hot coals together with the dirt/sand. Never leave a burning or smoldering
firepit unattended!
Warning:
Fuels used in wood or charcoal burning appliances, and the products of combustion of
such fuels, contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm.

Warning:
Serious injury and/or property damage can occur if steel insert is not used with concrete wall blocks.
Under no circumstances should firepit be assembled, placed or used on any combustible surface (i.e. wood or plastic
composite decks). When deciding on a location to build your firepit, be sure to maintain a minimum distance of 20
feet between your firepit and any walls, trees and/or structures. An operational hose should be kept nearby and easily
accessible as a safety precaution.
