Adding a metal ring insert to your fire pit setup can provide a variety of benefits and is highly recommended for those who want to create a long-term fixture in their yard. Here are a few reasons why:
Safety: A ring insert can help contain the fire and prevent it from spreading, reducing the risk of accidental fires and injuries.
Durability: The intense heat and exposure to the elements over time can cause a fire pit to deteriorate and eventually become unusable. A metal ring insert can help protect the structure and prolong its lifespan.
Appearance: A ring insert can add a decorative touch to your fire pit setup and make it look more polished and put-together.
That being said, if your fire pit is meant to be temporary or you don’t plan on using it frequently, a metal ring insert might not be necessary. Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide what works best for your specific situation and needs.
