What did you do in your shed? 2025

[Hairs]

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!

What do you call these "pins"

Latch pins / lock pins / something else  

& where do you get them? The BGS has nothing!

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.

Wow!

I suppose, though, that we should be grateful that they even allow fires! A lot of Parks don't allow them at all.

Thanks, everybody, for suggestions re Clevis Pins - closest thing I've seen so far!

Thinking that mine may be a specially made up thing? CP are all apparently solid & reasonably short, while the one I showed you is hollow, 190mm long x 13mm OD!

If you can't find one for sale, you may be able to get someone to weld a washer to the top of a piece of tube, to make one.

Depending on the critical dimensions, and where it has to fit, you may also be able to just get a piece of tubing and instead of welding the flat head, drill a hole for a split pin to retain a washer slipped over the tube.

A pic of where it is installed maybe helpful.
