EPIC Swing Set & Fire Pit Build

EPIC Swing Set & Fire Pit Build

Hey guys! Happy first day of October. In my latest build, I’m going to celebrate my favorite season by creating an EPIC swing set and fire pit on my in-law’s property. For the build, I removed a dead pine tree and replaced it with an AWESOME outdoor feature piece. 

So follow me as I build a swing set and fire pit for some outdoor fun this fall! If you’re following along at home or want to try it out for yourself, be sure to take a look at my video below.

In order to build an EPIC swing set and fire pit, I had to first remove a dead pine tree in the backyard. After chopping it up into manageable chunks, I took the branches out to a separate area for burning later on.  

For phase two, I placed a metal ring and some gravel in the ground for the fire pit. Then, I began to dig some holes to set the posts around the pit. With the new Lazer CT Recip Sawblades from LENOX, we successfully welded and assembled this project on-site!
