1.
If putting your fire pit on a lawn,
mark a 53-inch diameter circle and
remove all sod and roots inside the
circle. Dig approximately 2 inches
deep. If putting your fire pit on a
patio, mark the circle with chalk and
skip ahead to step 4
.
2.
Check the level of the soil inside
the circle in all directions. Remove soil
from the high spots to bring it close
to level.
3.
Add 1.5-2 inches of paver base to
your circle and rake it level. Using a
tamper, pack the entire area of paver
base until firm. Make sure the surface
is level before laying blocks.
4.
Place 19 wall block units on top of
paver base. Lay them tightly together
to form the circle. Level each stone
front-to-back and side-to-side. Make
sure each stone is even with the
previously leveled block. Use a rubber
mallet to level.
5.
After the 1st course is set and
leveled, start the 2nd course by
placing the center of the top block
in alignment with the joint between
the blocks below. Continue this all the
way around the circle.
6.
Once the 2nd course is all lined
up, carefully remove one block at a
time and apply two thick beads of
concrete adhesive to the center of the
blocks. Reinstall the block and push
down firmly. Continue for all remaining
blocks on 2nd course.

7.
After the 2nd layer is finished,
install the 3rd by placing the center of
each block in line with the joint of the
blocks below. When the 3rd course is
all lined up, glue the blocks one-at-a-
time as in step 6.
8.
Next, lower the fire pit liner inside
the blocks. The outside flange of the
liner should be centered and rest on
the inside edge of wall block units.
9.
After the adhesive cure time has
lapsed, pour lava rock into the fire pit
until the level reaches the bottom of
the fire ring liner.
