Whether it’s winter and getting cold or a beautiful summers night, there’s nothing quite like sitting around an open fire in the backyard with family and friends & spinning a couple of yarns. But instead of digging a hole in the yard, or burning the lawn, here are a couple of easy low cost options to build your own backyard fire pit.
