Al and Cathy made this fire pit that turned out so great and I just love - every time I go to their house I remember that I want to post it, but then I keep forgetting what they did and have to ask again (I'm sure that's driving Al crazy!), so I just need to write it up already so you can see it and be inspired to create your own!
It's a whiskey barrel base (find at home improvement stores or gardening centers) topped with a half-inch plywood circle topped with half inch Hardibacker# brand board, which is a cement board.
It ended up being the sealer was not sufficient enough waterproofing. We originally had it covered with a weatherproof vinyl cover but Cathy did not like the appearance so she insisted on taking it off. After the rain and sprinklers got on it the moisture was enough to warp the plywood and crack all the tiles off. After redoing it we now have it covered again.
It looks so nice and I'm super impressed with this project! And I'm glad I don't have to ask him the instructions any more LOL.
