A fire pit is a worthwhile addition to any outdoor space, especially here in Iowa, where the weather can get cold during the winter. If you're planning to build a new fire pit, there are a few materials you can choose from to suit your aesthetic and functional preferences, including concrete wall blocks, limestone, and boulders. While you can't go wrong with any of these, you will want to consider their differences to determine the best option for you and your fire pit. Continue reading to learn more about these materials!

Concrete wall blocks make a sturdy, versatile material for your fire pit.

One material you can use to build your fire pit is concrete wall blocks. Concrete blocks are popular because they interlock to create a sturdy, secure structure and are relatively easy to install. This material has been used time and time again for fire pits, as it's proven to be durable, long-lasting, and low maintenance. Not only that, but concrete wall blocks are also versatile in their design, meaning they come in different shapes and sizes, which you can arrange to achieve a timeless, traditional look with this new fire feature.

Limestone is a high-quality material for fire pits because of its durability and beauty.

Limestone is another high-quality material you can use to build your fire pit. Limestone is a porous natural stone known for its durability, and it can endure years of exposure to various elements and fire, making it great for fire pits. Additionally, it'll create a unique beauty that captures attention, especially with its lighter, more earthy tan, gray, and beige tones. Limestone also comes in different shapes, sizes, and textures to achieve your desired look for your fire pit.

Boulders are a long-lasting material and will give your fire pit a stunning, natural look.

If you're looking for something different than the traditional fire pit, using boulders might be the way to go. This material will give your fire pit a stunning, more rustic look, as it's a natural rock that complements its surroundings. Boulders also come in various shapes and sizes, so you can use them as they're naturally formed or shape them into a circular or square design. Not only will they make your fire pit a statement piece, but they are also long-lasting, durable, and resistant to burning. You can't go wrong when you use boulders to build this feature!

When choosing a company to build your fire pit, you'll want to ensure they have plenty of experience and back their work with a warranty.
