Deck Defender & Grass Guard MAX - Fire Pit Base & Heat Shield - Metal Fireproof Pad for Under Fire Pit - Heat Resistant Protector for Outdoor Deck, Grass, Patio - Protect Surfaces from Heat Damage

This fire pit shield delivered as promised. We have used the fire pit numerous times and the shield is amazing. It totally reflects the heat away from the driveway. Under the shield with the pit burning intensely the driveway is cool to the touch. Amazing. It's expensive. And once again you get what you pay for, a high quality product. I love that it was made in Ohio. Nicely done!

Awesome, I bought two

This platform seemed like the perfect answer to my needs. And it is just that. I needed something sturdy, resilient, and well-designed to serve as a mobile platform for a new firepit. The Defender is just that. I was very impressed with the design before receipt. I called the manufacturer and happened to speak with the designer/ engineer; became even more impressed. When the Defender arrived, I was completely sold. Just test-drove it for the first time. It protects against the perils that concerned me most and will be wonderfully visible after dark. I also used the defender to plot four mini foundation posts. I used half-foot lengths of 1.5-inch diameter PVC, which I filled. Used the Defender to plot those precisely and to level. I can now always find exactly the same spot on the lawn. The heat resistant mat is the final hedge against any floating embers. The Defender isn't inexpensive, but the quality of manufacture is clearly worth the cost - or it was to me. Would purchase again in a heartbeat.

Great product. A little expensive though for a little piece of diamond plate... Should of made it about 3 inches longer and wider so it would properly fit most fire pits.. But it does do a great job for what its supposed to do... If your lucky enough your fire bowls legs fit on it.. Mine just made it with about 3 inches to spare...

My Amish built Breeo fire pit sits on top of this base. It produces roaring fires and lots of heat and the base is very effective at protecting the ground underneath it. It is also very shiny and industrial-looking even in cold and clammy climate.

Using it under a Breeo fire pit on a wooden deck. Seems to disperse the heat well, it doesn't get hot underneath. A more erudite buyer used a thermometer I used my hands. Allows me to have people over outside during Covid time with a very hot fire. Last couple of friends came for lunch and stayed until 7 PM at 38 degrees. Hot smokeless fire. No damage to recently painted deck. I will transfer to lawn when I set up the deck for table and chairs in the spring. I'm very pleased. By the way the Breeo fire pit is terrific and made in USA (PA)

I waited until we had the opportunity to use this product more than 3 times to give a review. There has been no damage to our deck after using a handful of times with each usage of at least 1 hour. Lightweight, durable, & safe.

Can’t use it. Measured our pit and no room for error. No way to adjust burning wood due to no extra space. Hundreds wasted !
