Interested in making a DIY gas firepit. It seems more costly to try to do it myself than buy one. Am I missing something?

Advice on making propane fire pit
Wood is a flammable material. Fire pits involve flames. Common sense says to keep these things away from each other. You’re going to want to use block and make it permanent, or make a frame out of metal. More on reddit.com

r/DIY on Reddit: Interested in making a DIY gas firepit. It seems more costly to try to do it myself than buy one. Am I missing something?
July 7, 2024 -

So as the title states I'm doing research for a natural gas fire pit. I have a gas line for my pool heater near where I want to build the fire pit so I planned on extending this for the fire pit (my BIL is a plumber so he would help with gas piping). After looking into it, it seems way more expensive to build my own with landscape blocks, purchase a burner table, burner controls, burner than to just by one already assembled. Am I going about this wrong?

See links I am referencing:

52 landscape blocks for a 36" firepit

38" burner table

30" burner

I’m well over a thousand dollars and this isn’t even including the rocks to fill the pan, material for gas pipe, etc. Anyone have experience with this?

How to Build a Fire Table (DIY)
January 3, 2024 - When building a propane fire pit, start with the base that will house the burner. When building a table cut the posts (A) to length on a miter saw (see Cutting List). Taper the bottom edges about 1/2 in. up with a miter saw. The tapered edges won’t tear out when the table is slid around, and they’ll look better when it’s sitting on uneven ground.

November 16, 2020 - I'm not sure how a flat piece of metal as opposed to a bowl or firebox is going to work. Typically you'd cut a round hole in the table and drop a bowl in it. Fill the bowl with rock of some sort.
