Answer 18

Move it away from the fence would be a start. Treat the fence with what exactly? ‍♀️ I swear people post stuff like this to get a reaction sometimes. Or is it just stupidity?  

Answer 19

All I'm gonna say is if I was your neighbor it don't matter what you treat the fence with I'd be over the fence with a hose every day. Total disregard for other people having it that close to fencing.

Answer 28

It’s dangerous to build a fire pit out of ordinary bricks. They aren’t designed to take the heat. That’s why fire bricks exist.
