When it comes to choosing the right material for your fire pit, the options can be overwhelming. One common question is whether to use sand or glass. After some research and experience, we recommend using silica sand as a base layer in your fire pit. Silica sand is perfect for this purpose because it’s fire-proof and cost-effective. But don’t stop there – you can layer lava rock or fire glass on top of the sand to create a unique and visually appealing design. Here are some benefits of using silica sand and how to incorporate it into your fire pit:
Silica sand is heat-resistant and can withstand high temperatures, making it safe to use in a fire pit.
Using silica sand as a filler creates a stable, level surface for the fire pit.
Silica sand is a cost-effective alternative to other fillers.
To create a beautiful layered look, add lava rock or fire glass on top of the sand.
Lava rock is a natural material that gives a rustic and earthy look to your fire pit.
Fire glass is a modern and colorful option that creates a more luxurious feel.
So next time you’re planning to build a fire pit, consider adding a layer of silica sand as a base and get creative by adding lava rock or fire glass on top. Not only does it create a beautiful design, but it’s also a practical and cost-effective solution.
