A well-designed fire pit is not only a beautiful focal point and center of attention in your St. Louis, MO, yard, but also creates an outdoor setting in which to sit and enjoy cool evenings. There are many design methods and features to choose from to create the fire pit that best suits your tastes and the style of your landscape. Among the design elements to consider is coping. Coping is a finishing or protective course or cap to an exterior masonry wall or the like.
