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. ...

How to Build a Fire Table (DIY)
January 3, 2024 - When building a propane fire pit, start with the base that will house the burner. When building a table cut the posts (A) to length on a miter saw (see Cutting List). Taper the bottom edges about 1/2 in. up with a miter saw. The tapered edges won’t tear out when the table is slid around, and they’ll look better when it’s sitting on uneven ground.

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!

This is my first woodworking project. It’s apitong offcuts that I planed glued up and finished with teak oil. The 1x6s on the bottom align it with the opening of the fire pit. It’s going to live outside(obviously). What are your guys thoughts? I know apitong is hardy (this was trailer decking) but is a glue up like this going to survive in the elements or just warp like crazy? I was thinking about adding some some inlaid metal bracing to the bottom to bridge the seams with the outermost boards but it might be unnecessary. Any input is appreciated!

Looks amazing for a first project! You’ll have to wait and see what happens to know for sure Glued up tops are generally fastened with slotted hardware though, if screwed solid like this it has the potential to rip itself apart. It will expand mostly along the width of the grain, so if you’d put the screws in slots parallel to the grain of the bottom pieces the heads would slide in the slot as the wood acclimated to different conditions Grain orientation also makes a difference, the boards will cup in the direction that straightens the end grain lines. If you alternate the way the boards cup it’ll theoretically compensate and help the piece stay flat

If this will be in the rain, ideally you would have spaces between the boards so they have room to swell perpendicular to the grain. The perpendicular bottom piece will look them together and they will try to swell and warp instead. Note that outdoor furniture and decks tend to have gaps between them. Like the other poster said you could try to make the screw holes on the bottom slotted.

I have a 32” propane firepit and I LOVE it. Problem is kids and grandkids come over regularly and continue to use it “as a table” which drives me nuts. Anyone have ideas to DIY a top so that when not in use it can serve as a table and be protected? I was thinking of a plexiglass sheet- but not coming up with good ideas. Advice appreciated- TIA!

Look on Facebook marketplace for a round metal outdoor dining table. Take the legs off. Put it over the top of the fire pit. You could use construction adhesive to adhere three or four pieces of pressure treated lumber to attach to the bottom of it that would fit inside of the pit so that it would not slide off.
