I like the cabot firepit because you can built it in 90 mins. and it is 44 inches wideoutsiide and 31 inch inside dia. If I was young and had a lot of energy I would want the victorian stone square firepit. They are all three are nice, the real difference is the space you have and your own choice of what you want.
My husband and I are in the process of redesigning our backyard and we both would really like a stone fire pit. We have been looking at fire bowls that you can buy at most stores, but I really like the look for a stone fire pit.
We are not very hands on so these DIY fire pit kits would be perfect for us. I didn’t even realize something like this existed. I will pass this information on to my husband.
