Home Fireplace Design Idea

Over time your fire pit may begin to show some wear and tear from the elements. A great way to refurbish an old pit and get it looking like new again is to remove the fire bowl (area where the fire burns) and make some simple repairs. Typically, there are two common areas that tend to wear out: the bottom and sides of the fire pit.

The first common thing that occurs is burn through or holes in the bottom. An inexpensive and simple way to fix this problem is to take a trip to your local home improvement store and purchase a thin piece of sheet metal. Sometimes, if you give the store your dimensions they will cut the piece of metal for you, but before you head to your local home improvement store be sure to measure the dimensions of the fire pit first. Unless you have the know how and the tools at home, you can just cut the metal yourself. Most fire pits have square bottoms, but if yours happens to be round the metal can still be cut to fit the bottom of your fire pit. Now you just need to attach the new piece of metal to the bowl.
One way is to weld the new piece of metal in place and the other is to drill 4 holes in each corner and attached the new piece of metal with some bolts. I would recommend welding the new piece of metal because a solid weld will out last the other option. Once you have attached the metal, it is a good idea to drill some small holes in the middle to drain any water that might settle from rain and paint the bare metal to protect it from the elements that can cause rust, corrosion, etc. Purchase a high heat, rust proof paint and spray the bare metal. This paint will protect your newly repaired fire pit for years to come.
Firepits are so hot right now. Pun intended. Mankind has come to his home fires for centuries. More recently people have been coming home to traditional and contemporary versions. On those summer and autumn evenings, making s'mores while you lounge in an Adirondack chair - there is nothing better. Then some take it a step further and build their own.
