We've been talking about adding a fire pit and seating area for awhile. Our oldest daughter's graduation party combined with extra available time due to Corona presented a perfect opportunity to try something new. I've never built anything like this and have very limited experience with woodworking but I came across these chair plans when searching for chairs to buy. Not too bad for a first project! Started digging up sod about a month before the Grad Party. Worked on it a couple hours a day and maybe 3 full weekend days. Came out great and is a wonderful addition to our backyard.
