Feb 1, 2010: Fire Pit Not just a plain fire pit, but an enclosed outdoor fire pit for story telling, group sings and after the kids go to bed... well, use your imagination. Quote:

ZenGum Monday Feb 1 07:55 AM Woody Woodpecker? monster Monday Feb 1 08:24 AM Gorgeous. Do they sell them on Amazon? I'm after a free shipping deal glatt Monday Feb 1 08:50 AM Pretty freaking cool, but if it's just bare pine that sits out there in the rain, you can't expect it to last much longer than an unpainted fence. Probably less, since the slats are horizontal instead of vertical. Picture an untreated pine deck. I give it 4 years before it's rotted. Clodfobble Monday Feb 1 09:00 AM Not arguing that it's got relatively little time to live without being treated, but... I thought vertical slats would get ruined faster than horizontal ones, because the cut edge of the grain is exposed to the downward-flowing water? That's why people put those little metal caps on the top of their fenceposts. glatt Monday Feb 1 09:04 AM Good point. I'm not sure which rots faster. Certainly, exposed end grain is bad, and ground contact is bad, but a horizontal board will allow water to pool on the surface, and that's bad too. classicman Monday Feb 1 09:15 AM I agree with both of you. Untreated pine is bad, either horizontal or vertical. glatt Monday Feb 1 09:21 AM Just built the fire up against one of the inside walls, instead of in the center, and that takes care of that. glatt Monday Feb 1 09:28 AM It would be cool made out of pavers or flagstone. Actually, now that I think of it, I'm not sure how safe I'd feel inside of one if it was made out of piled up stones. It would be kind of like the Trullo roofs in Italy. Pete Zicato Monday Feb 1 10:17 AM Reminds me of a Hershey's kiss. wolf Monday Feb 1 10:25 AM Me want, although I'm pretty sure that since my lease says I can't barbecue on my porch, I can't have one of those, either. xoxoxoBruce Monday Feb 1 10:58 AM Can't? With all those gun ports, who says can't? Cloud Monday Feb 1 01:24 PM very pretty, but --a fire pit made out of wood? Gravdigr Monday Feb 1 06:03 PMI give it a year til it burns to the ground. Adak Monday Feb 1 11:27 PM It's a beauty, but I don't like the higher portion still having the rough side on the inside. ZenGum Tuesday Feb 2 03:18 AM Quote:
