Hi, this is Tom from Tom’s Fire Pits! Each of my handmade fire pits is a unique work of art. A single fire pit takes about two weeks to make, as I personally hand-draw, hand-cut and construct each pit. They stand 44 inches high by 37 inches wide. The pits are made from 1/4-inch-thick high-carbon steel. This makes them very durable. Because they are made from high-quality steel accompanied by high-quality construction, these pits can become family heirlooms. They are a lasting conversation piece that your family and friends will make many warm memories around for years to come.
