In this video I show you how I made a fire pit seating area with lighting using whiskey barrels! It really transformed the entire area just by adding the stone, planters, and lighting.

you are a country genius...I built an 8 foot diameter fire pit in the way back we always have to bring flashlights...no electricity back there but I could rig up a car or marine battery with an inverter if needed

@Janaesolts42 4 месяца назад

You put rocks over grass???

@charliemurphy9022 5 месяцев назад

You never did say how deep you dug those holes for the posts...

@PatiencesMom 3 месяца назад

Lowes has a MULCH GLUE. MIX AND SPRAY ON THE ROCKS. 1ST MAKE SURE THE ROCKS ARE LEVEL.

@tracygaudet2241 Год назад

what are the dimensions of your firepit area I am not sure how big to make mine....need to fit 10-12 people sometimes

@bonnieb6984 2 года назад

Very nice. Would love to see an update with plants in the planters. I am hoping to do something similar around my fire pit. I hate just having the chairs on the grass. Nice job.

@brianmorrison9937 Месяц назад

What size 4x4's did you use? How deep in the ground are they burred therefore how tall are they from the top of the ground to the top of the 4x4? How far did your measure out from the center of your fire pit?

Beautiful job!!!! It’s really really nice !!Did you run power for the lights or are they some type of solar lights?

@granitegreg7883 5 месяцев назад

Very cool idea! My wife and I love it! We’re definitely going to do something similar to this!

@sherrygaetke3968 2 года назад

How are you going to keep the stones out of the lawn?

@HowToHomeDIY 2 года назад

I made this months ago and the only reason I have any stones in my yard are from my kids throwing them 😂. Haven’t had any issues with them getting out in the yard from just walking on it.

@sarwatahmed3850 2 года назад

Hey silly question, depending what climate area u live in, do u plan to use this area only in colder months or also in summer time. We r down in Texas and temps are running this year over 100 some times. But nights are different temps. I was confused should make one at all use it during summer time or just wait till Texas colder months but hey great videos and your project!!

@RJ42997 Год назад

Looks great! How many cubic feet of gravel did you end up buying?

@5cathay 6 месяцев назад

This is exactly what I want to do! Thanks for making this video.

@maggotbrain6340 2 года назад

How far is each post from the other? It seems like the 48ft length lights were just the right length.

@jessicah2504 Год назад

Great video! How did you determine how much gravel you needed to create the proper depth?

@brendiareeves449 2 года назад

Enjoyed the video. Hate you did not take time to fill the planters with potting soil and spring flowers.

@HowToHomeDIY 2 года назад

Yeah we talked about putting some in but it was November and when I added up how much it would be to fill them just for them to die a few weeks later due to winter, we decided it just didn’t make fiscal sense. Sorry about that. We definitely wanted to.

Well done. thank you.

Appreciate it John! We have already had a few fires with it and definitely love the upgrade. Thanks for the feedback!

@philipjenkins1377 2 года назад

Hey man, looks great! I read where you said you don't get many stones in the yard, but what about mowing? Any issues running a mower around that edge? I want to do something like this, and I figured I'd need to dig down and put some sort of border around it (paver edging or whatever), but, based on your video, maybe not. Oh, also, how much stone did you end up using?

@HowToHomeDIY 2 года назад

Nope, no issues with slinging stones. I try to spray the border so I dont have to get to close to it. I forget the exact amount, I just remember I got two full pickup truck loads and I could have used a little more just for more depth.

@kathleenbrown1395 4 месяца назад

I just found this video and was wondering the same thing. I am guessing anywhere from 12 to 15 feet. It really is sad how people don't think things through completely and never bother to read and answer questions. 😕

@ashleys207 Год назад

I love the idea of the weed killer, it will cut the labor efforts in half…but is it really that dangerous to use that much weed killer? And did you ever have any issues with weeds coming through the gravel?

@nofear6235 2 года назад

subscribed, especially after seeing your T shirt!

@HowToHomeDIY 2 года назад

Glad to have you on board! I have quite a few variations of this shirt. They are my go tos! Look forward to seeing you around the channel!

@dangrippe5082 2 года назад

Love it. Going to do this soon. Only thing I would do differently is run a slot the length on 4x4 to hide the extension cord.

@HowToHomeDIY 2 года назад

That is a great idea! I am glad you liked it. Thanks a lot for the feedback Dan! Enjoy the project!

@NorseWhittler86 2 года назад

Looks good. About what I want to do. Future thought, have your buckets cut and ready. Then dig your hole for the poles, place barrel over hole and put the post in the barrel and ground instead of trying to carry the barrel and dropping it on the pole. Good work though

@HowToHomeDIY 2 года назад

Yeah I had thought about doing that but wanted to make sure when I back filled I would be able to fill it all and compact the dirt and also get my stones under the barrels. Those whiskey barrels are no joke as far as size and weight goes. So anyways, that's why I ended up with doing what I did. I do appreciate the input and feedback! I always welcome the work smarter not harder mentality! If you end up doing this, let me know how it goes!

@iamtherabbitinred 2 года назад

I instantly thought same... but realized that doesn't allow for filling, tamping etc, the pole in place.

Why not just get solar powered string lights

@HowToHomeDIY 2 года назад

They aren’t as bright and these will last longer. Nothing wrong with using the solar ones, we just chose to use standard plug in lights.

@jefferymcgettigan7982 2 года назад

So did you have to run the extension cord all the way to Your house??

@HowToHomeDIY 2 года назад

I have a shed with electricity not too far away.

@Johntheheadache Год назад

Why add stone? who can walk up to a chair barefoot?

@HowToHomeDIY Год назад

Not worried about that. If you are don't put stone down.

@Stretch1812 Год назад

I'd love to see what this looks like 1 year later. I feel like he has to have a weed issue.

Weeds will eventually come up even with weed barriers. There are some weeds but nothing that I haven't been able to treat.

I mean, it looks just like it did the day I made it. I see you play LM. Used to play back in the day. K19.

@nole8923 2 года назад

I would either hire someone to kill the grass or wear a chemical hazard suit with gloves before using any type of vegetation killer. Most of them are carcinogenic.

@filthyphil1000 2 года назад

Love it but will not use all that weed killer. You will be sitting on top of a cacer causing agent.

@HowToHomeDIY 2 года назад

I’m not concerned with it. I use salt water to kill the vegetation around my house as it works really well and without any safety concerns. I have a video on it from over a year ago. Sometimes I use chemicals and they typically evaporate within 24 hours. I am glad you like the setup though. Thanks for the feedback Phil.
