Beachy Low Maintenance Backyard Fire Pit!
Here’s the thing about my fire pit - I had almost NO budget so that meant I had to get really creative! First thing I thought of first was function: I hated having to move all of my yard furniture every time I mowed so I wanted something my furniture could sit on and NEVER have to move.
Second thing was safety, I wanted a fire pit I didn’t have to worry about. Also, I didn’t want a fire pit that (if not used) would fill full of grass and weeds. Everything pointed to the fact that my dad had a leftover pile of beach sand on his property that he wanted me to have.
So, that settled it, I was going to make myself a beach bon fire spot!
I started by sticking a stake in the middle of my current “fire pit”, tying a rope to it and going in a big circle around the whole pit with a can of spray paint. I measured the paths using the “width” of the landscape fabric I had on hand. And decided to do a path from my driveway (along the side of the house) to converge with the path at my deck and then go on to the fire pit.
I would imagine that this would also be fun for folks with little kids as it would also double as a sand box! Like my sun loungers? I made them out of old goose hunting chairs and outdoor table cloths!

HI Sam, I'm sure in the desert (just like absolutely everywhere...) you can literally call any landscaping company and get sand...
