    They used to use books, the humidity must have ruined them.

    You can just barely see the pool in the first pic. The stamped pad is 2500 sq ft.

    we would someday have rocks.

    While you were sitting in the mud, some of us were picking clams out of it.

    Should I pour a concrete patio and build a fire pit on top or leave the area that I intend to have the pit bare ground without cement?

    I mow around my fire pit area.

    I guess my question is will the concrete patio withstand the heat generated by the fire built directly on the concrete patio?

    No, a nice wood fire will kill the concrete, leave it open. Water can drain also. You can build the fire pit on top of the concrete though.

    Will any special provisions be necessary to protect the stamped patio?

    Not really. The fire pit will be 12”or16” tall? That should keep the majority of hot embers inside. I haven’t heard or seen any evidence of the slab being damaged by a hot ash landing on it.
