With the colder weather coming, there is something special about gathering around a fire pit, whether it is for roasting marshmallows, sharing stories or simply enjoying a cozy evening outdoors.

At Albert Batty Metal Recyclers in Geelong, we offer steel for sale at affordable prices, and we’re happy to help you get started on this DIY project.
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to building a fire pit using scrap metal:
- Plan Your Design
Start by deciding on the size and shape of your fire pit. A typical fire pit is around 1 meter in diameter, but you can customize it to suit your space. Sketch out your design and determine how much metal you’ll need. - Choose Your Metal
At Albert Batty, we sell all types of metal, including steel, which is perfect for fire pits. We can help you choose the best material for your project based on heat resistance and durability. Steel for sale in Geelong is available in various sizes, lengths and diameters. - Cutting the Metal
Once you’ve selected your steel, it’s time to cut it. If you’re unsure about the measurements, we may be able to assist you with cutting for transport for a small fee. - Assemble the Fire Pit
Once your metal pieces are ready, it’s time to assemble the fire pit. Use strong welding or bolts to secure the pieces together. Make sure the base is stable and there’s enough space for air to flow. - Finishing Touches
Add any finishing touches, like a protective coating to prevent rust or decorative elements to make your fire pit one-of-a-kind.
