The weather is finally getting warmer, and summer is now right around the corner! This means that millions of Americans are getting ready to spend a whole lot more time outside.

There’s nothing quite like spending a nice summer night sitting around a bonfire with friends and family in your backyard. A new tutorial is going viral online right now showing you how you can easily make this amazing Pergola and fire pit all by yourself!

This pergola and fire pit was originated by Brett and Laura, a couple from Alabama.

“We have a passion for restoration and we’re eager to see our property transform,” Laura said. “Without a doubt, one of our most beloved DIY projects and our favorite area to retreat on the farm is our outdoor pergola and fire pit. It is truly an outdoor oasis and an area we created for the sole purpose of bringing our family and friends together. It’s a conversation piece around our small town and we love making s’mores, star gazing and relaxing here at the end of the day.”

Brett and Laura said that all the materials aside from the seating and lighting cost them $1,300. The six wooden porch swings ended up costing them an additional $100 each. This may all sound expensive, but it’s far cheaper than I was expecting the whole pergola and fire pit to be!

I’ve never been someone who is good at do it yourself projects around the house, but this one is so simple that even I can do it! You can read Brett and Laura’s full tutorial here!
