Creating a dreamy fire pit area

Here I’ll show you how to create a dreamy outdoor fire pit area with video linked below.

I’ve been thinking a lot about creating a dreamy fire pit area for quite some time now. Well, Like most of the projects in our home, I bought the supplies and told my husband that I had a really fun day planned for us both. Generally, he’s a good sport about it but gets a little nervous when mysterious packages start coming in the mail. He never knows what to expect. Well, I’m happy to report that this project has both of us super excited for the end result.

When my husband and I were just friends many moons ago, we used to hang out a ton over campfires. Of course, there were a lot of other friends there too. We realized we had a lot in common and really started to connect over campfires. To this day we still find time a few times a week during the campfire season to connect over one.

We bought all the tools needed to create our dream campfire area including twinkle lights, potted flowers, and of course wooden Adirondack chairs. My friends here know that this is something I have been on the hunt for a while. Throw in a few pillows and throw blankets and I’ve got the making of the dreamiest firepit area ever!

Swipe through to shop all the material we used!

1. Start by staining and sealing the wooden chairs for your fire pit

To start we laid out all the pieces to the Adirondack chairs, boards, and posts. We laid a thin layer of Early American Stain on them with a paintbrush. Dry time was quick, only about an hour. By the time all the staining was done I was able to immediately start sealing the wood with the weatherproof sealant. I allowed about 24 hours to dry because my boards were not pressure treated.

2. build Adirondack chairs for outdoor fire pit

This part was way easier than I though. My husband was the one building them but said it was just very repetitive. The instructions were very informative. One chair took about 30 minutes to build. Since we bought 6, assembling took about 3 hours. It is very important to stain and seal the chairs before you put the chairs together. This is because you want that sealant to be in the joints to protect them from the weather. This way they’ll last. Every year we’ll put a new coat on our chairs to protect them from the weather.

3. Assembling the posts to frame around outdoor fire pit

We used four large planters around the fire pit with a concrete block inside to hold the post in place. Then we filled the pot with dirt and flowers to look nice and to act as extra support. We then added thin boards along the top of all four posts to connect and add support to the posts. To give the structure even more support we added corner joints. This way our structure will stay strong and secure.

4. Hanging the patio lights around fire pit

Lastly, we used hooks on all four posts to string our patio lights around the structure. We did several loops to make it look flowy and the hooks just make sure to keep everything in place. The patio lights we used had clips next to each bulb making it easier to secure our loops stay in place. It just makes our campfire that much more dreamy!

  12. Giáo dục miền bắc Càng lớn lên và nhìn lại những năm tháng ngồi trên ghế nhà trường, mình càng thấy nể phục sự nghiêm khắc nhưng cũng đầy tâm huyết của các thầy cô ngoài này. Dù đôi lúc cách truyền đạt có phần khuôn mẫu, nhưng chính sự chỉn chu và nền nếp ấy đã rèn giũa cho mình một tư duy rất vững vàng và kỷ luật. Có lẽ phải đi xa rồi mới thấy trân trọng những giá trị cốt lõi mà môi trường giáo dục miền Bắc đã bồi đắp, giúp mình có được hành trang tự tin để bước vào đời.
