My biggest DIY project to date. Outdoor firepit seating area. Made from besser blocks and decorative breeze blocks, finished off with a spotted gum floating bench seat and decorative rocks and stepping pavers on the ground
Hello @sannear
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's fantastic to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your backyard firepit project.
What a wonderful backyard makeover. Thanks for posting those progress shots of the build, I'm sure our members will find them very useful. Can you please tell us the overall size of the seating area including the firepit? did you use Merbau panels for your seats? How long did it take to finish the entire project?
If you have any other information you can share about the backyard firepit project it would be very much appreciated.

Hi @sannear
That does look very nice. Well done.
May I ask the purpose of the pole you built with it? And that cement(?) circle?
Cheers!
