The Experience

If you’re after a gift that’s a bit different, then how about this Build Your Own BBQ or Fire Pit One Day Course is a cracking choice. Using recycled materials like car wheels, you’ll learn how to turn everyday scrap into a fully functional fire pit or barbecue, something you can proudly take home at the end of the day.

The course is designed for beginners, with expert guidance every step of the way. With a small group of just four people, there’s plenty of one-to-one support, so you’ll never feel out of your depth.

Throughout the day, you’ll cover all the key skills needed to bring your build to life. It’s a great mix of creativity and practical know-how, giving you the confidence to tackle similar projects in the future.

Here’s what you’ll get stuck into:

  • Sourcing the right recycled materials
  • Health and safety when working with metal
  • Designing your own fire pit or BBQ
  • Marking out and preparing your materials
  • Cutting, drilling and shaping metal
  • Assembling your final piece
  • Using both hand tools and power tools safely

By the end of the day, you’ll walk away with your very own fire pit or barbecue, ready for garden gatherings, summer evenings, or just a quiet night outdoors with a bit of warmth.

This experience gift is ideal for DIY fans, outdoor lovers, and anyone who enjoys making something from scratch, leaving them with something they’ll use again and again.
