Things Needed
Granite pavers are an easy path to add a Greco-Roman finishing touch toan out-of-door flak pit . Pavers are already shape , available in triangular capstones and in curved curbstone , so forgather a ring around an exist flak perdition crest with shaped capstones is no more hard than stacking the pieces and paste them together . A fire pit made from concrete or cinder block and howitzer , and line with fire brick is ready for granite finish Lucy Stone , as the concrete engine block and fire brick provide the granite stone necessary protection from the fire ’s heat that would otherwise stimulate the granite to break and/or discolor .
Step 1
delve a slim trench with a power shovel the breadth of the pavers around the fire infernal region , to a depth of 4 to 6 inches , and fix the first tier of curving granite pavers in the trench end to end , curved side in , up against the outer paries of the fire pit .
Step 2
pick the outside of the ardour fossa wall with a stiff wire light touch to bump off any grease or debris so the concrete adhesive adheres cleanly to the open .
Step 3
Set a level on each paver , one paver at a time , and move the soil around beneath the pavers with the hands until each granite paver is unwavering .
Step 4
Insert a tube of concrete adhesive material into a caulking torpedo , snarf one of the pavers and squeeze a liberal amount of adhesive on to the inside surface . Put the paver back and push it up against the outer bulwark of the fire pit to create a bond between the paver and the fire pit paries . reiterate this process with the residual of the granite pavers .
Step 5
Squeeze a handsome amount of concrete adhesive on the top of the first tier of pavers and on the outside of the flak fossa bulwark in expectancy of the 2d level of pavers .
Step 6
Set a 2d tier up of curl pavers on top of the first tier so that the middle of each block sits directly above the meeting ends of the pavers at a lower place . Nestle each paver into the adhesive agent beneath it and press each paver up against the adhesive on the outside of the flack perdition rampart to secure it to both surfaces .
Step 7
double step 5 and 6 until the outside paries of the fire pit is covered by granite pavers , then squeeze a big amount of concrete adhesive on the top of the last level of pavers in anticipation of the capstones .
Step 8
Set triangular granite capstones on top of the last tier of granite pavers , as close together as possible , and nestle each into the adhesive below it to cling it to the top of the pavers .
