[It Takes Eleven]

I've been watching fire pit prices the last few months...took my old one out after the last storm. Thought of a few ways I might build something...it's one of those spring things next year. I want stone; not the metal type.

I picked up a 48 inch steel cauldron (manufactured to be the end of a large propane tank) from a place in Cave Spring, GA. The boys and I eased it down to the new patio this morning, had a very nice inaugural fire tonight. They normally make this size on three legs, but I had them invert a 30 inch bowl for the base - at about a third of the price the high dollar place in Tuscaloosa wanted.

@It Takes Eleven that's NICE! Love the look.

Two people I know have the pit I mentioned/pictured earlier: stone pit. One has it on the ground and moves it. The other laid a concrete slab.

I'm leaning towards being able to move it from the E to W side of the back when the notion strikes.

Is there a "rope guy" for the dock? Looks like tri-toon under the cover...

The place in Cave Spring has a bunch of sizes, from 24 to 48 inches, with two options for deeper cauldrons, and they are the last ones you'd ever buy. Given their weight, there is a big difference between shipping and "walk in". As I mentioned, they don't normally put a base on the 48, but the 36 with a base is about the same proportion as mine. Their most recent Facebook ad has their prices, and sometimes they'll put them on sale for walk-ins.

The company's other big line (their biggest) is making the heavier duty PVC Adirondacks and such. They are expensive, but include free shipping, so again a local pick up would save you a good bit.

I'm in need. My outdoor chairs have seen better days.

The problem is I've had it in my mind for a few months now I'd make my own. But that maintainence free...I'd planned on staining mine with the deck stain when I do that in the spring. (I should be finished by then; geez.)
