How to Make a Quadra Concrete Fire Pit

This tutorial will show you how to build a concrete fire pit.

With a clean, simple shape that blends modern and rustic styles, the Quadra Concrete Fire Cube is designed for easy backyard use. Measuring 48” wide by 58” long, it’s made with SureCrete Xtreme Series or D-FRC mixes, keeping each section under 150 pounds. That means it’s easy to reposition in your yard or even take it with you if you move.

One: Forming

Even experienced carpenters will find this challenging. The projects “high” difficulty rating was awarded for the complexity of the curved inner form.

Two: Casting

The high vertical layups require you to take your time and insure previous layups are firm enough to support the full wall thickness while casting.

Three: Demolding

If you are careful when removing the form to avoid chipping, denting, or scratching it, you should be able to cast many times with this single form.

Four: Finish and Install

Since each half of the Quadra Fire Pit only weighs 120 – 150 lbs, the installation and assembly can easily be accomplished by two people.
