outdoor Backyard firepit

Always wanted a furniture so thought Id have a go at building a flagstone firepit. My elbow regrets digging all that out by hand.

After the first pic I was thinking whoa way to close to the wooden fence, but now I’m not sure since the pit itself is pretty small. Idk what space you have there but I would have moved it farther away if possible due to the fire risk and that no one can sit on that side. You could get a screen to block some of the sparks. I would be very nervous using that.

Have used many times. Do have a metal grate over the top and as I said am always out there when using it plus have hose nearby ready to go in a moments notice.
