When you have already made and placed your own fire pit, you will need a quality fire pit screen to contain all those flying sparks, which can cause serious results if fallen down. Generally, fire pits are placed away from grass or any other place that can easily catch fire when a fire sparkle touches it. Yet, there are small yards and gardens, where one has to place his fire pit on a dangerous space. In such cases a good fire pit spark screen comes to keep the danger away!
Depending on the fire pit shape and size, fire pit screen covers differ accordingly. Hence, if you have a DIY fire pit, you will have to give the precise measures of it to the cover maker so that it suits the pit excellently. Otherwise, sparks can “crawl” out from the open areas. Usually two types of alloy metals are used for creating these covers. These metals are mild steel or stainless steel. Anyway, stainless steel turns out perhaps the strongest material for this purpose providing excellent durability for years and years.
Anyway, in spite of the material chosen for creating the screen, putting the fire pit inside screen enclosure is a primary necessity. Whether your fire pit cover is as simple as an iron-basin, which was bought at a local store, or is as elaborate as a handmade stone pit itself, it is undoubtedly necessary to avoid all the dangers, that every fire pit is wrought with! Hence, when obtaining a fire pit, do not leave purchasing the cover to a secondary plan.
