DIY Fire Pit Table Top - The Lilypad Cottage
January 13, 2022 - My neighbor made this and used an old pallet for the wood and sanded it then stained. Turned out beautiful she then stenciled a big checker board on in the center, so cute. I would rather have backgammon, she is so crafty. They use big painted heavy metal washers for game pieces. I have been thinking about making a table top to cover the firepit I created for quite some time now – and this is almost exactly what I had in mind!

r/BeginnerWoodWorking on Reddit: I made a fire table from scrap wood, some fence pickets and an old chafing dish.
October 25, 2020 - If the pan doesn’t have any holes in it I just didn’t really get how the fire got to the rocks ... Ohhh, I see what you’re asking. It’s hard to see, but in the photo with the propane tank under the table, if you look in the pan you can see the burner in there. Then I covered that with those (way too expensive) tumbled lava rocks. ... Just finished my first table made from a wood slab.

Can I safely build a table around my fire pit?
With it being gas, it's more likely possible than a wood fire pit. Personally, I would mock something up and then check how hot it gets while using the pit. That's just my gut instinct. Fire extinguisher or hose handy. More on reddit.com

I first lay out all my parts to do a dry fit. This way I can make sure it all looks right before sticking things together. Here I’m using exterior rated wood glue and a few screws on each joint.

April 10, 2025 - Open the gel fuel can before placing it inside of the wire circle. Pull the fire glass towards the center to cover up the edge of the can. Light the fire, and enjoy your tabletop fire pit! Gel fuel can be expensive. An easy DIY trick is to buy a can and, when it’s used up, refill with hand sanitizer.

June 4, 2007 - The table really did look great, and you can customize the motif as you wish. Another thought would be to build the wood base, add the cement board, add trim that stands proud ~1", then pour on mortar mix, or cement without aggregate, and embed any goodies that relate to the theme of your lifestyle: e.g.; fishing,boating, tennis, woodworking, or have segments of the table characterize each member of the family.

r/DIY on Reddit: Can I safely build a table around my fire pit?
July 20, 2025 -

Hey all,

I have an existing fire pit that I’d like to use in a more functional way. My idea is to either: 1. Build a table that surrounds the fire pit, or 2. Place the fire pit inside a table.

My question is — can I just buy a wood coffee table and cut a hole for the fire pit, or is that a fire hazard? If that’s not safe, are there specific table kits or materials I should be looking at that are made to surround a fire pit?

I’d love to hear from anyone who has done a DIY build like this or knows of products that are already designed for this. I want the look of a coffee table but don’t want to create a fire risk.

Thanks!

May 22, 2025 - You can adjust the size to fit your needs, but I am going to make the overall size of my fire table 52” in length by 28” wide by 18” high. For the framework, we need to subtract 1” from those measurements to account for the ½” thick wonderboard that will cover the outside. So, the actual outside dimensions for the framework will be 51” x 27” x 17.5.” · I’ve decided to construct my framework out of metal 2x4s. It seems like the best option for this type of project. They will be lighter than wood, they will withstand the outdoor elements, and overall it just seems more appropriate since they are non-combustible/fire resistant.
