Our Custom made one piece fire pit safety screens are available in round, square or rectangle configuration. When ordering the square and rectangle measurements are the same as the diameter of a circle. A 24" square is the same as a 24" round. Rectangle use the largest side as the same as the diameter of the round.
Our one piece fire pit screens are available with two frame options. We use the same high quality stainless steel mesh on both options. The difference is the material used in the frame.
Our first choice is what we call our Regular model. This frame is made using a mild steel for the frame material. The second choice is the Deluxe model. This upgrade is made using a 100% Stainless Steel frame. This option means everything on that screen is SS.
The options are available above and when you click the 100% upgrade it will add the sur charge to the price. See chart below for a simpler pricing quote.
SO WHAT'S THE REAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR DELUXE SCREEN vs. 100% STAINLESS STEEL.
We use the same ss wire cloth on both options. Will the 100% SS screen last longer then the regular screen? Same life expectancy on either choice.
Both of our frame options use the same manufacturing technique. We do not weld our mesh material to the frame as other do. We sandwich our mesh material between two pieces of flat steel. The outer frame and an inner layer frame. We do this because stainless steel expands quite a bit when it gets hot from the fire and if the mesh is welded it could tear at the welds or least it would cause undo stress on the material and shorten the life of the screen. By sandwiching the mesh it has room to move and it's a lot stronger maximizing the life expectancy of your screen.
The mesh material is hand formed into the dome with no upright supports. Again this is done so the material can expand and contract without stress. When we form the dome we try to achieve the highest profile the material allows. The mesh is heavy duty and we can only achieve such a tall profile without creasing the mesh and the height is in proportion to the diameter. Using the techiques of sandwiched mesh and the free form dome this will add many years to the life to your screen. The screens are hand made and hand formed. They may not be perfectly symmentical. We try to achieve perfection but the material will only allow us to do so much.
If you see a dimple in the material this is normal. With a little push it reverts back to it's opriginal dome shape. Remember these are hand made and formed. Once you use the screen and it gets hot the screen material will expand and contort but when it cools it comes back into it's own shape. This is normal.
Now you know how we make our screens let's discuss your needs!
What size fire pit screen do you need? What configuration do you need? Round, Square or rectangle. What type of a fire pit are you putting the screen on? Does it rest on the outside flat area of your fire pit or does it fit inside on a ledge? There are so many different applications and different configuration out there the options are limitless. First, If our one piece screen is replacing a screen you all ready have then simply measure the outside diameter of your old screen and order that size.
Second, If you are putting this on a built in fire pit and it has some kind of flat masonry around the fire pit then measure the inside of your fire pit and add 4" and order accordingly. Those are the simple ones to configure.
Now lets say you bought a fire bowl from us and you need a screen. Or you have a gas fire pit table and you don't want the screen to sit on anything but sit inside of the bowl. No problem. What we do is we weld what we call "Tabs". These tabs are usually 1" or 2" square pieces of steel that we weld on the outside or inside of the fire pit screen depending if you want the screen sitting inside the fire pit or resting on the outside of the pit. With the fire pits below either inside or outside looks good. If it were mounted an the outside you wouldn't see that band around the top of the fire pit and it would like they were made for each other. But if you look at the picture on the bottom on the right side of the screen around the back you see another tab. On these screens we installed three tabs equally apart with one tab right below the handle. What happens here is the screen is lifted by the handle but pivots upward on the back two tabs. Enabling the user to add or stoke the firewood with out actually lifting off the screen.
This style of screen can be adapted to many different fire pit configurations. Such as a gas fire pit table. We do a lot of these. It sits inside and rest on these tabs. If this is something you might like then
please call Jim 817.946.6463. I want to discuss the sizes and options. Most clients order wrong size. I catch most of them but ordering the wrong size is ezpensive shipping so lets talk. Measure twice cut once. lol
