You can look at this two ways, 1. You can make a custom pit to your exact specs or 2. Buy one that is close enough. That is the difference in the cost. Answer from Grymflyk 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 9, 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?

What You Need to Know About Fire Pit Burners | Family Handyman
August 22, 2024 - Many DIYers opt for pans in natural gas fire pits as well because pans make it easier to fill the pit with decorative elements such as lava rocks or fire glass. They also act as a lid, allowing easy access to the bottom for maintenance and cleaning. If you’re using a burner pan, keep in mind that they can also trap water, and should have weep holes or some other way to shed water.

How Do I Build a DIY Fire Pit for Natural Gas? – Starfire Direct
Remember when we mentioned earlier how our form fitting ledges help support the burner system and leave an empty interior space within the enclosure? The vents located at the bottom of the enclosure help remove water and prevents it from accumulating inside. Whether customizing your DIY gas fire pit with a traditional manual match lit ignition system or upgrading to the convenience of a push button spark ignition or an electronic ignition system, we offer a variety of fire pit burner kits to suit any outdoor living space needs.

DIY Underwater Burner for Firepit: Expert Tips & Guide
I am working on a DIY firepit, and it's going well. I want to create an underwater burner but don't want to pay the high price for a commercially available one. I'm considering using a 3/4" line coming in, reducing it to 1/2", possibly using black pipe to make a grid with small (1/8") holes drilled every 1-2".

Simple. Easy. DIY.
Our quest to find the perfect propane fire pit that would tick all the boxes yielded no satisfactory results. The options available to us were either too large, unwieldy, deficient in flame, or simply too expensive to be viable for the average user. After much trial and error, we finally arrived at a burner design that allowed for easy installation making a portable propane fire pit that our family adores and fulfills all our requirements.

Small Project: DIY Ammo Can propane fire pit.| Builds and Project Cars forum |
Off the shelf ones are great, but are also pretty big. I wanted portable. I had made one before, it was a little ghetto, but worked. I had a brain wave one night, ammo can would make a great housing for a fire pit! I used a 50 cal can I had. Bend up a burner shape that you like and fits in the box.
