Before you begin to work, you need to choose the optimal location. It should be noted that the fire can not be planted next to wooden buildings and other objects that are characterized by rapid ignition, trees and shrubs.

With the help of a rope or a lace on the ground a circle appears. At the center of the future location of the product, a peg is driven into it, one end of the rope is fixed on it, the other is to be tied to a can of paint. The circle should have a diameter of about 1.5 m. Then, in the same way, you need to draw two more circles: for the rest zone and the fire itself.

In the inner ring, formed between the circumference of the bowl and the fireplace, a ditch with a depth of 15-20 cm is dug out to create a foundation. Then it is poured with a cement-sand mixture, as a result, a smooth and smooth surface should be obtained.

Stacking material

The optimal option for the arrangement of walls will be a natural stone, it has sufficient fire resistance and attractive appearance. Perhaps a combination of several types of material, elements with an interesting texture and pattern are selected for finishing the top of the wall. The inner edge of the base is laid out after the completion of the first row, while for its facing the stone can be replaced by a brick.

The material is laid in rows. After the formation of walls with the required height, the resulting space between the stones is poured with a cement-sand mortar until a uniform surface is obtained. It is worth noting that the bonfire bowls are also made of other materials. One of the non-standard options is the use of an old drum from a washing machine.
