2. Clear the area of leaves, and other things
3. Start digging! We recommend 1 meter-1.5 meters for the best fire pit zone. You may have different ideas, and that’s fine! These measurements can differ from garden to garden.
4. Once you have done this you should create a foundation of cement so this will keep away dilapidation and corrosion of the materials of the sunken seating in garden
