Many new fire pits will come with a mesh fire pit screen, but some do not. Or, if you’ve had your fire pit for awhile, you may not own one. But, fire pit screens are wonderful accessories for your fire pits because they increase the safety of your outdoor fire experience, and they’re relatively inexpensive to get. Lightweight, these screens rest on the rim of your fire pit, and the close, mesh style serves to keep popping embers and sparks within the fire bowl. You never know when embers might pop or when a new, dry log might spark when you place it on the fire. The screen will increase the safety of your wood burning fire pit.

For one, it will protect you and other people sitting around the fire. Second, it will shield your lawn. Especially if you’ve experience a dry summer, the last thing you want is for an ember to spark and catch your crispy lawn on fire. Finally, it is also a safety measure for pets and children. You should always keep a careful eye out when you’re having a fire, but the screen can serve to prevent a child or dog from accidentally reaching into the bowl.

Premiere Fire Pits has some inexpensive spark screens in several size options, so you can find the right size for the diameter of your fire pit. They come with convenient handles on top for easy removal, and they are taller to accommodate large logs in the fire pit. This is a must-have accessory for your fire pit, and it’s not a huge investment. Plus, it will make your fire experience a lot safer, which you should always have.
