Places to buy bricks for fire pit

[LUDELVR]

Looking to put a fire pit in the back yard and just seeing where people got their materials and what it looks like. Anything fancy? Let me have a look.

Burnco.

Nothing fancy, but it does the job. Going to make it a bit bigger this year.

Got a similar thing from a Beyond member in the past two years (can't remember which year, am old) - guy was giving it away for free but I gave him a case of beer of his choice as the materials were worth at least a case of beer to me.

Looks good to me! What did that end up costing you if you don't mind me asking, with and without the paving on around the pit?

Cheers bro!

Check Kijiji...

Sometimes people are giving them away...

BUMPing this up as I'm looking to put in a firepit before the snow hits.

I don't mind the Burnco ones but I'm hoping to review some other options. I've checked Kijiji and found a few simple bricks but I'm hoping to stumble on something a bit nicer looking. Doesn't have to be a specific kit like what Burnco offers, just some nice looking rocks that I can stack on each other.

Ideally I really like the look of something like this, but don't want to spend more than $250-$300 (which I think is what those Burnco kits go for).

So anyone know other places (other than Burnco) that I can check to get materials for this type of work?

I don't know if the outdoor lot is open but Sunnyside Greenhouse has bricks

Just as an FYI.

Burnco is going to be the cheapest typically unless you find a garden center blowing out stock before it snows.

My experience of all this is...
30' retaining wall c/w garden bed, a full raised concrete garden bed, 350sq ft. patio with pavers, 4x8' shed base with those 2x2' concrete pavers, and installed 600' of concrete edging...Burnco was cheapest for all that material.

Now that doesn't mean I have purchased all of it from them, but real rock is fairly pricey and Burnco was the cheapest.

Probably too late but I saw that the Gulf Canada Square floor is being taken up and redone. It's on 9th Ave, where the old CP train is located.

I bet if you went down there with a truck and asked the guys, they'd let you take a bunch of the stones. They're busted up from removal but there's ones you could stack and I bet it would look good.

It is granite, so baller DIY fire pit.
