WOODEN FIRE PIT COVER

It all began several years ago with a weekend fire pit build, which turned into
a gravel surround, and now a great fire pit cover!
First there was the Fire Pit Project.
It was a weekend project that was well worth the time and energy spent!
Then, after living with the fire pit for a couple of years, we decided a cover
might be nice for those times when we aren't using it for a fire.
For the cover I began by cutting a large circle from a big piece of 1" thick
plywood.
Please visit the bold blue links in this post for more information on these
projects.
To make a circle I first found the center of the wood.
I measured the width of the plywood, found the center, then attached string on a
tack to the center point.
I tied the other end of the string to a pencil and drew a big circle.
I was careful to hold my pencil upright and honestly, for this project it didn't
matter how perfect my circle turned out.
I used a jigsaw to cut the circle, then I trimmed and sanded all the rough
edges.
I laid it down on top of the fire pit, it was large enough to cover the center
hole.
You may want to give the plywood circle a coat of Polycrylic or something that
will protect the plywood from the weather if you're not using a waterproof
cover.
I covered the whole thing with a beautiful garage sale find, an oilcloth
tablecloth that fit over the top and draped down the sides perfectly!
The oilcloth is waterproof and keeps the wood inside dry for the next fire, it
even matches the oilcloth pillows on the chairs and the couch.
You could also use an inexpensive round vinyl tablecloth.
This makes a great table to rest your magazines and drinks.
You can read about how we added a pea gravel area and then replaced this old
fence with a brand new vinyl fence at Homeroad.net that made all the difference
in this yard!
And... if you've ever wanted to hang things on a vinyl fence, I've got the
perfect solution for you!

I had someone cut me a piece of metal. I’d never use wood, because we use our
fire-pit too often. A great idea if your an occasional fire pit user.

An old metal patio table might work too.
I think a larger circle of wood (maybe several boards) could make a table top
to over hang the stones. Then it could be finish nice enough to not need a
table cloth. it could hang a sheet metal bottom for fire protection.
