Not only does a fire pit add to the beauty of an outdoor living space, creating a cozy nook for gatherings or quiet contemplation, but it’s a feature that lets you enjoy relaxing in the great outdoors beyond the summer season.

Starting in early spring and well into the fall, a toasty fire pit serves as an anchor bringing friends and family together and a great reason to unplug and connect over a glass of wine or gooey marshmallow s’mores. It’s also the perfect spot to pull up a comfy chair after work and take in the sounds of the season with a good book.

With Polycor’s easy-to-assemble granite fire pit kit, you can create an instant entertaining space in one afternoon. Featuring solid granite blocks that are easy for both contractors and homeowners to assemble, you can lay it out in the morning and you’ll be roasting S’Mores by dark.

Polycor Hardscapes & Masonry 48-inch diameter, two-tier granite fire pit comes with a metal ring insert that caps off the granite nicely, and you have the option of purchasing a cooking grate to extend its usefulness. 

Offered in two historic American stones, Carolina Coral™ granite quarried in North Carolina, and classic Woodbury Gray® granite quarried in Vermont, the blocks have a thermal finish on top for a smooth surface to set plates, drinks and utensils. The natural split face finish around the vertical sides lends an organic, textured surface that highlights the unique grain and minerals.

Polycor offers a printer-friendly downloadable guide to installation. No mortar is required.

Why Choose Granite Over Brick or Concrete?

Brick and precast concrete are two other materials typically considered for fire pits, but there are several reasons to go with granite instead. Unlike brick and concrete, granite blocks are naturally durable and will withstand the freeze-thaw cycle. They are also virtually maintenance free.

The Polycor DIY firepit kit is made from 7-inch thick blocks of solid granite, so there are far less pieces required than with a brick or concrete fire pit. Also, no mortar or adhesive is required – the blocks are dry stacked with their own weight holding them tight together. Less stone, less time, and best of all, less work for you.

No matter the season, adding an outdoor fire pit will be the focal point of your outdoor living space and give you an excuse to enjoy the great outdoors of your own back yard, all year round.
