LIVIVO Hexagonal Fire Pit - Outdoor Oil Rubbed Bronze Fire Pit With BBQ Grill, Metal Poker Iron, Mesh Ember and Spark Guard Screen

Product Information

Once you have the post-tops level, measure all of the beam dimensions again. Chance are good that something moved slightly. Adjust and reattach the braces as needed. Take one of your 2x2 braces and mark it at 2 and 3 feet. This will be your depth gauge as you auger. Most of our larger items will be delivered on a pallet. This delivery will be a curbside delivery only. When looking for a camping fire pit, the size of the equipment is one of the important considerations.

Once the stain is dry, grade around the base of each post and level the area as needed. (See the sidebar in step 4) I was on a gentle slope and needed to bring about 5 yards of dirt in to level. Durable Iron Structure: Constructed of heavy iron and coated with heat-resistant powder, this outdoor fire pit is robust and durable with long service life. The solid hexagonal base is not only aesthetically pleasing but also sturdy and stable, never wobbling. At Covers & All, we provide three fade-resistant and durable fabric options with our covers. These are, namely, Cover Max, Cover Fab and Cover Tuff. Light in weight, these fabrics are crafted to withstand both moderate and extreme weather conditions. The fabrics are waterproof, UV-resistant and tear and abrasion-proof.We provide a range of tie-down options with our hexagonal fire pit covers. Our tie-down options include drawstring, elastics, push clips and waterproof zips. All of these provide strength to the fire pit covers and ensure that they stay intact in one place no matter how windy outside. With so many different examples offered on the web, it can be difficult to narrow down the top selections to just a handful. To make the process just that little bit easier, we have created and used a small criterium to identify the best camping fire pits for UK campers. Keep leveling all the way around the structure until all of the cheater beams are level. I ended up with one that was about an inch high and decided not to pull the beam out to dig more. Only I notice.

The bulk of portable fire pits are typically used with wood as their main fuel source, but this isn’t always the case. Another popular option is the ball fire ring design for the plasma cutter fire pit structure. The metal ring for the fire pit can then be cut with various design shapes or logos. Last but not least, don’t forget to ask about our custom fire ring process. We’ll then work with you to produce your desired output for the perfect fire pit ring within 2 to 5 business days. DXF for CNC Fire Pit DIY Collection Note: If your location is not perfectly level, you will want to dig to 3 feet on the HIGH side. Use the string and line level to determine how many inches shallower each hole on the low side will need to be. You will end up with all posts at three feet deep into the ground once you level the area with additional dirt. When you have piled all your materials and tools, you are ready to start your hexagon fire pit with swings ( you can build octagon or bigger one if you think this one is too small ). There may be additional charges for the Channel Islands, Isle of Wight, Isle of Man, Scilly Isles, Scottish Highlands, Scottish Islands and Northern Ireland.With everything from a lightweight and compact design to the type of fuel that the fire pits can use – below, you’ll find exactly what we look for in the best portable fire pits. Lightweight and compact Once the posts are straight, you can level. I did this by setting my 8 foot box-beam level on top of each of the cheater beams. For low posts, pour in a little paver base and lift up the post to allow the paver base to flow under it. You may need to disconnect the brace so you can lift the post. If a deep-clean is needed (we recommend that these are done every couple of months), stove and grate polish is a fantastic investment. Multiple fuel options Being completely waterproof and durable, these covers safeguard your fire pit like none other. Our custom waterproof fire pit covers fit your hexagonal pit perfectly. They are also easy to put on and take off from the pit whenever necessary. You will want to start with a level area that is maybe 5 feet larger than the structure you intend to build in every direction, or about 25 feet across if you stay close to the dimensions here. If it isn't perfectly level, that is OK, but you will want to level it AFTER you build the structure. It makes no sense to level first only to have to dig deeper holes for the posts.

OK, now is the time to look at your posts and clean them up a little if you want. Sand down any pencil lines, splinters or rough areas. I decided to use a router and a round over bit to radius all of the edges of the posts and the beams before they were installed. First thing is to find an area that is big enough for the structure. It would be nice if it’s leveled, so that you won’t need to level it by yourself. The cheater beams you used before are perfect templates for the real beams in terms of where the lag bolts are going to go. Use the screw holes on the cheater beams as a template for the countersunk lag bolt holes on the actual beams. I countersunk my lag bolts about 1/2 inch. Drill holes in the beams that are the same diameter as the lag bolts but just drill a pilot hole down into the posts or use the hole made by the screws holding the cheater beams. Start with the depth gauge and dig each hole so it is maybe 3 feet two inches deep. Don't be lazy here. When we get to the leveling step, it will be a lot easier to fill a hole in a little than it will be take things apart, pull a post out and dig more. Pour some paver base into the hole and flatten out the bottom so the hole is at or just over 3 feet deep.

1 Person Made This Project!

I opted to add in a bottom plate and grilling surface. The grilling surface is designed to swing away or remove completely from the pit. The bottom plate helps to keep your fire elevated for better air flow. Now, making your hexagon square and level is going to be a challenge and you do NOT want to have to lug these 6x6 beams around any more than necessary. So, I cheated. Once I was satisfied with the beams, I cut the 2x6 boards that I would eventually use for cross braces to be exactly the same dimensions as the 6x6 beams. Now you have much lighter boards to work with as surrogate beams. When you are done with them, you will cut about a foot off of them and use them as cross braces. Nothing wasted.
