When spring arrives, we all like to picture ourselves spending time outdoors with friends and family. The warm and sunny days not only bring us Vitamin D, but also backyard BBQs and get togethers. In many places during the spring, we experience those perfectly cool nights that might require an extra layer or a light blanket. There's yet another solution that can rehabilitate your backyard after a long and cold winter while giving off the warmth you need: a fire pit.

Don't worry, you don't need to do a bunch of research or pay for an expensive one to get the warmth and coziness that only fire pits can provide. Instead, you can create your own. It'll be the center of many conversations and will make both you and your guests feel right at home in the outdoors so why not get started now? If you're in a more temperate climate, you can enjoy it all year long. There's even a safe and flameless idea for kids!
