1/8" Water White Base Glass

On this page (as if you needed another page) We are going to show you how to build a basic fire pit for your deck/ back yard.

This was built by Glenn Harvey of British Columbia.

This first picture is the frame he had started with.

You can make one from metal studs, aluminum studs, etc. Anything non flammable.

Wrap it with wonder board or durock/ cement board.

Below you can also wrap it with wire for better adhesion to the backer board.

This fire pit was natural gas. We also manufacture the burners for propane. Well, we are the only ones who actually manufacture propane burners for your projects.

Below you can see the gas connection coming up from the deck. Glenn used a pan but he also could of used an aluminum/ stainless steel base plate as well. 

The stacker stone is now being applied.

As you can see below the trimming valve is installed on the side. You would be surprised on how many plumbers don't think of this little detail, a valve to turn it on or off. I have seen the valves installed inside of the pit or not even at all. You also need to be careful as to not have a gas line installed that is too small for the application.

Now the stone and cap are done, great and simple job!

Below you an see the larger filler lava rock was installed.  If a flat plate were to have been used you wouldn't need the larger filler lava rock base.

Below our crushed lava was used to cover the larger lava rock to insure the glass does not fall through. This makes an even base. What ever shape you make the lava is the shape the glass will take.

Below we installed Water White Base Glass (32 lbs) for a 1 1/2" cover! 

The stone on the side of the fire pit used was to match the stone on the house as well. Looks awesome!

Below is just the Water White Base Glass before the colors were added.

The colors that were added are as follows:

Azurlite Base Glass and Azurlite Reflective Base Glass for the sky area.

Brilliant Yellow R20F4 Topper for the sun center

Scarlett G072F3 Topping for the suns rays

Orange R140F4 Topper for the ring around the suns center

Emerald Green 1417 Topping  for the bottom trees/ grass?

Deep Blue 2507 Topper mixed in around the Azurlite Base Glass in the sky area.

If you notice below the center of the sun, it changes when it get hot! This one of our chameleons  that change when the glass gets hot. If you look real close at the Orange Topper (next to the suns center) as well, it turns a bright cinnamon red when it get hot also! All of our chameleons will be posted when we get a chance. This is just another one of our product lines that we have not had time to further promote.

Above is the fire burning and

below the fire was just turned off.

Glenn spent a few hours placing all of the glass to make this very cool scene. So don't just think you can just throw it on and it knows were to go. Very creative!

Here is what is looked like when he started. These manufactures have no imagination!

This only cost about $100.00, complete!
