DIY Fire Pit Ideas

Being outdoors at night is just better with a fire pit. It is a great outdoor atmosphere - sitting with friends and family, basking in the heat and glow of the fire,and enjoying the night air. There is also the added benefit that the fire, or more specifically, the smoke that comes with the fire is a natural mosquito and tick repellent. Smoke is a repellent for all insects, especially the flying ones that can help prevent those unwanted backyard bites
