- I have searched for months and months for just the right firepit to utilize leftover large armourstone from our backyard landscaping. This is perfect! My question for you is-what is underneath the lavarock? Is it just a ring hooked to a gas line or is there more to it then that?

Are the couches waterproof? I imagine they are or the house is somewhere that doesn't get a lot of rain. The fire pit looks great, I think gas fire pits on patios is easily the best option. They don't have any smoke blowing into people's faces. http://www.patioworldnsw.com.au

Amy, This fire pit has a gas fire ring "see it here" http://www.gaslight-firepit.com/fireringsburnerkits-c-21.html This can hook to gas or propane and the natural stones around are simply retaining the glass. here is where you can buy the glass. The site also has a "glass canculator" that will help you to determin the amount you will need: http://www.starfiredirect.com/fireglass-calculator Good Luck!

I was wondering about the versatility of this fire pit...?

- Campfires? Cleaning? Composition of black stones and possible replacement?

I really like this. To me most fire pots look like a well when not lit. This really has. More natural look to it.

I'm guessing the steel logs would also add to the heat given off once hot.

Probably best without logs - unless they are great looking logs!

Fireplace venting

- Hi, I am researching ways to vent a propane fire pit which uses natural boulders such as this as a surround.I understand that 18 square inches are required for 2 opposing sides. This looks wonderful! But how and where is it vented? Thank you!

PRO
Jeffrey Gordon Smith Landscape Architecture
This is Natural Gas not Propane, so no need for ventilation.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

June Scott Design added this to Eco-Friendly Fire Pits: Casting Backyard Campfires in a New LightDec 19, 2013

Topping materials. This gas fire pit contrasts the casual, organic feel of a fire ring with a contemporary-feeling glass topper. Several manufacturers now offer eco-glass, which is made of post-industrial glass that has been melted down and dyed to achieve brilliant colors. Other possibilities for topping media include lava rock and treated river stones. Never substitute with untreated stones or unapproved materials, which could shatter in the fire.

CS Davis added this to PoolJun 29, 2019

Really like how boulders were used to create fire pit, don’t like plantings around it, looks messy

Kate Berkeley added this to Backyard And Connecting Side yard IdeasJun 15, 2019

Simple mixed grass and hard. Don’t like this fire pit
