Title: Base for Fire Pit
Post by: kiwi_camper on October 04, 2013, 09:09:30 AM

We recently bought a Polaris Fire Pit (http://www.polarisinnovations.com/firepit.htm). Having not used a fire pit before, it was recommended on their web site that you use it with a base. Where would be the best place to buy a base for it? Not being handy or having the required tools we can't make one, so buying is the only option. Thanks in advance.

What about some corrugated iron offcuts, maybe 2 smaller pieces overlapped. Pretty light too carry
and would probably fit in the bag for transit.

You probably need a tray to catch the odd ash falling out. A good sized pizza tray would do the trick.

Cheers, Marschy

nice looking unit

I suggest trying it without a base to start with. It doesnt look like it has holes in the bottom for ash to fall through anyway.

ive just brought one of these. and not using it without a base

its not mad a mess once as yet.. so i was looking the same as buying a base but have decided not to. There really isn't alot a base could do..

Pretty happy with the unit yes they are damn expensive, however it cleans nice, no sharp edges and works a treat. and its not buckled etc so pretty happy in general with it.

I'm waiting on a sample to arrive from China -- The base is actually the metal case the folding fire pit comes in ..

As I could end up selling these I'll keep the price to myself for the moment .. Size is quite small at 30 X 30 cms ...

I'll post up some pics after arrival ...

Could you use a garage drip tray, these are usually pretty light although a bit long on one side.
