Firepits are great projects to kickoff your welding career as well as add some style and functionality to an outdoor space.
Outdoor firepits typically have larger parts with straight simple weld movements making it a project that can be done in just a few hours.
Cost of welding your own firepit is inexpensive as well as you can use scrap metal leftover from previous projects. As long as it is strong enough to withstand the high heat of the fire pit you'll be roasting marshmallows around your campfire in no time.
Most of these projects below will work great with a MIG welder. An angle grinder will also be helpful if you have one to smooth out surfaces and clean up any welds.
Let's get those creative juices going. Here are a few of our favorite designs for firepits of all shapes, sizes, and complexity.
Easy Firepit Project
Fire pits are great additions to your backyard or garden. You can use them to sit around the campfire, roast marshmallows or throw in some lava rocks for a more modern fire.
The great part about a firepit project like this is it can work for both beginner or advanced welders. Start with a basic design and go from there you can make it as small or large as you would like. Want to make even more custom, add your own style with additional design work for those feeling a little more confident.
Overall, this is an easy DIY project that requires basic knowledge of MIG welding. The materials cost around $25 for a basic design and the entire project should take less than two hours to complete.
