There are several things you should think about before you make your purchase:
- What size do I need?
- What material will work best for me?
- Will the screen stay in place or move around?
- What is the height where I want?
- What kind of design do I want on my screen?
A fire pit screen is designed to fit over the top of your fire pit to create a barrier between you and any stray embers or sparks. A quality screen will last years and be well worth the money spent.
Fire pits are one of the most popular outdoor heating options in recent years. They offer a unique experience for everyone interested in trying something a little different. Some fire pits can also be used as an entertaining space for people to gather around and socialize and a cooking area.
One of the most popular types of screens for a fire pit is a metal mesh screen. They are usually made from stainless steel and come in many different sizes and shapes. They are very durable and can last for years without rusting or falling apart.
Firepit screens are made to be durable, but you will find more than one type of material being used. Large screens are usually made of steel-aluminum composite or stainless steel wire mesh. Steel-aluminum composite is lighter and more affordable but will rust if it is not properly maintained. Stainless steel wire mesh is heavier, but it lasts much longer.
The frame of these large screens is typically either powder-coated aluminum or galvanized steel with powder coating. Powder coating protects the frame from rusting when exposed to water and weather, making it a popular choice.
