Most caravan parks, that do allow a fire, require it to be 300mm above ground.
So I made a 600x600 tray for the pit to sit on.
Our son is always having a crack at me,  regarding the old steel and bits & pieces I have laying around in the shed or under the house.
An hours work, done.
It's an old Guinea pigs tray from the cage, 4 lenghts(320mm) of 12 threaded rod, some flat washers and 8x shocky washers,  it can be dissembled and packed flat.
Happy Wife.

But isn't the pit by itself good enough for the 300mm ???

We've never had a Park complain when we've used them just by itself!

Sorry for the late reply Fizzie.
Brooms Head Caravan Park, a lot of things have changed there in the couple of years.
I too, would of thought that the folder fire pit was sufficient, but no, it had to be 300mm above ground.
All ash/sunburnt material had to be taken away, couldn't put the ash in a garden bed, yet when we arrived we had on our site, small chunks of carbon, and unburnt bark.pieces.
Hmm, yet others, caravans had their sink water/suliage  hoses emptying onto vacant sites.
We didn't argue, we enjoyed 2 nights spent around our fires, telling BS, and laughing.

Hi Fizzie,
I googled SS flat head pins and this came up on Allie Express. "5/10pcs M3 M4 M5 M6 M8 M10 Clevis Pins With Head 304 Stainless Steel Shaft Flat Head With Hole Pin Bolt Pin Cylindrical Pins"
Hope that helps.

Try an industrial fastener supply business Fizzie, I reckon they would be your best bet.
