Evening Sky Campfire Ring FRSTAR369

First of all, this is a bigger firepit in diameter that I thought it would be, which is not a bad thing. At first I thought the metal was kind of flimsy, but then I realized the thinness and pliability made it easier to assemble and move. I've burned brush in it, and we've had a couple of pretty good campfires with no complaints. Also, it's pretty to look at from the house at night when a fire's going. Would I pay $100 for it? No. However, at under $50, it's a good buy.

I bought this campfire ring because I liked the night sky design. I was pleased to find that it is easy to assemble and is made of a heavy enough gauge of steel to last for years. I built a base for the ring from landscape stone and have received several compliments on the uniqueness of the our campfire setup, and yes the sky design looks great lit up! I recommend this product for it's design, durability and price.

This fire ring is great. I was able to look at several other pictures of this product online and build my fire pit around this ring. It is a really good size and is sturdy enough to stay put. I put pavers around the outside and river rock under both the fire pit and the pavers. I read this was a good idea for drainage purposes, so that you don't end up with mud at the bottom. I also did this to elevate the ring a little to be able to see the cut outs above the pavers. (I tried this both ways and liked it raised on top of the rock the best.) This shipped fast and I built the fire pit myself in 2 days - it would have taken 1, but I wanted more rock to make the ring higher. I have a young son and I didn't worry about the stability of this at all - I know this has been a question for some - the pavers really made it steady even if knocked against. This is a great find - I posted pictures online and lots of friends have already been asking where they can get one and if they can copy me!

This ring is very pretty when you first use it, but does lose most of the shine after the first fire. It is really good quality and perfect for backyard campfires. My sons have dropped heavier logs on it but it did not even bend it. We set up a ring of paving bricks first, then sat it on top of those. It will slide a bit on the bricks, but is easy to slide it back. It's very easy to clean out, as it is light enough to pick up shovel out the ashes.

This fire ring did the trick, it was very easy to assemble, I placed 9- 12 inch concrete slabs under it (which were $1.55 at Home Depot) and placed about 4-6 pieces of fire wood in the center. I have lit it 3 times in the past 3 weeks and the it was perfect. It kept the embers in place, it did get hot to the touch (as any ring would) and the kids were able to make smores, burn hot dogs without any worry of them being burnt. This is a perfect, very inexpensive way to have a fire pit in your backyard, especially in urban cities with a nice yard. Please remember to keep it out in the grass and far away from your house as possible.

Really nice fire ring and super quick assembly. Nice big 36" diameter is perfect for the large logs to have a big long lasting fire. Can put it together in under 10 minutes with a Phillips screwdriver and a pair of pliers, though I never needed the pliers. Heavy duty steel but not too heavy if you need to move it. Great price too at $25 compared to large hardware store alternatives.

We set it up and enjoyed it right away. It works very well and looks very nice. We only wish it had some form of braces that would help hold it in place. We edged our fire circle with Key shaped edging brick (layed flat), we then placed the Cobra ring in the center and filled in with lava rock, both inside and outside of the Cobra. We buried about 3" of the ring in the lava rock, and it stayed just where we put it. We put the chairs right on the grass, right at the edge of the lava rock circle. I plan to purchase some square terra-cotta stepping stones/tiles to place in-between the chairs, for friends to use for cups, cans, or bottles.

Fairly easy assembly out of the box. Looks nice when assembled but I am concerned about the bolts coming undone over time. Metal is fairly thin. I would probably look for a slightly smaller diameter but with thicker side walls next time.
