For good fire pit seating ideas, first, determine the size and shape of your seating area based on the available space and the number of people you want to accommodate. Then, mark the area and clear it of any debris. Level the ground with a shovel and add a layer of gravel for drainage. Next, lay a base of pavers or bricks in a circular or square pattern. This will serve as the foundation for your seating area. Finally, add your seating of choice and enjoy the warmth and ambiance of your backyard fire pit.
