A concrete firepit can turn a standard patio into a true outdoor living space and give contractors a valuable upgrade to offer customers. The challenge is getting the forming right. Building a one-off circular form takes time, and even small inconsistencies can stand out once the concrete is finished.
The DecoCrete EZ Firepit Forming System takes the guesswork out of the process. Designed for fast setup, repeatable results, and repeated use, it gives contractors a simpler way to create clean, perfectly round concrete firepit pads without building a custom form for every job.
A Faster, More Repeatable Way to Form Concrete Firepits
Traditional circular forms require measuring, cutting, bending, and bracing material on the jobsite. That extra labor adds up, especially when every firepit has to be built from scratch. The EZ Firepit Forming System uses three durable form sections and included connection hardware to establish a consistent circle. Once assembled, the system provides a solid starting point for a professional firepit base, ready for the decorative finish your project calls for.
For contractors, that means less time spent fabricating forms and more confidence that the finished firepit will look clean, balanced, and intentional.
Why Contractors Choose the EZ Firepit Forming System
Quick, straightforward setup
The reusable sections connect on site, eliminating much of the work involved in building a custom round form.
Consistent results from job to job
The system creates the same clean circular layout each time, helping crews deliver a more predictable finished product.
Jobsite-tough and built for repeated use
Durable construction makes the EZ Firepit Forming System a tool you can use across multiple projects, not a form you have to rebuild and throw away after every pour.
No mortar required
The included brick clips hold the 24 fire bricks in position without mortar, keeping installation clean and straightforward.
Ready for decorative concrete finishes
Once formed and poured, the surrounding concrete can be finished to complement the patio or outdoor living area. Keep it simple or make the firepit a focal point with color, texture, and other decorative details.
An easy upgrade to add to outdoor projects
A firepit gives homeowners a place to gather and gives contractors another way to add value to patios, pool decks, and backyard living spaces. With a repeatable forming method, it becomes much easier to offer that upgrade with confidence.

Buff - The classic option for a traditional firepit appearance.
Midnight - A darker option that creates bold contrast around the fire area.
Both fire brick options install using the included brick clips, so no mortar is required.

One firepit uses approximately:
(15) 60-pound bags of DecoCrete 5000, or
1/4 cubic yard of concrete
A Simple Jobsite Workflow
The exact installation can vary by project, but the basic process is straightforward:
Prepare the installation area and confirm the firepit location, clearances, and applicable local requirements.
Assemble and secure the three form sections with the included connectors.
Position the required fire bricks on the interior form using the included brick clips.
Place the concrete and apply the selected finish.
After the concrete is ready, remove the forms, clean the components, and store them for the next project.
Jobsite Note: Always follow accepted concrete practices, product instructions, and applicable fire and building requirements for the specific installation.
