Building fire pit on old concrete pad? What to use for base?
If you wanna be sure to save the pad and not have any damage I would use a portable fire ring. Better safe than sorry. More on reddit.com

Any clever ideas for converting this concrete slab into a fire pit?
I’d say 84x54 isn’t too big at all, little small compared to the pit slab we have. If you would generally sit on one side of it due to wind I’d build the pit on the opposite side so you have plenty of room to get far enough away from the heat or smoke while still sitting level on the slab More on reddit.com

May 9, 2024 - Since concrete doesn’t have any fibers or grain like wood, you don’t have to work your way up. Any sanding is just the removal of irregularities or smoothing things up. 7.

It's plenty big, but if we find we want something grander in the future, we can just purchase a bigger metal ring and then add more stones to make it wider. I later added one more layer of stone blocks to make the the pit a little taller and more comfortable to rest our feet on:

r/DIY on Reddit: Building fire pit on old concrete pad? What to use for base?
February 1, 2020 -

Alright so it seems there are a lot opinions of fire pits here so sorry if I say something crazy.

I have an old concrete pad in the back of my house for a shed. I don't plan on using it anytime soon, and a firepit circle seems like a perfect use for now. I would like to avoid destroying the pad, especially if I end up needing a shed in the next few years.

I could get a portable fire pit, but I am looking to see if I can build a simple one for a few hundred dollars.

The main thing I don't know is what to do at the base of the pit. Would a sand layer up to the first row of bricks be enough to reasonably protect the concrete pad? Or would a gravel/sand mix be better? Or fire bricks?

Besides the base, was going to get some pavers like these and this metal ring and go from there.

Or should I just stick with portable to avoid damage to the pad?

Thanks y'all!

Fire Pits on a Concrete Slab: Everything You Need To Know
September 4, 2025 - Fire pits placed directly on the slab transfer more heat, while elevating the fire pit or using a heat shield can significantly reduce the risk of cracking or spalling. Using a concrete fire pit table is another stylish and safer option, as many models are designed with built-in insulation and raised structures that limit direct heat exposure to the slab.
