Install Support Beams and Prepare Structure
At 0:00 in
Which sound in this clip is the most annoying? I need everyone to weigh in. This is research 🧐🤣
What happens here
Begin by positioning the L-shaped metal beams across the internal ledge of the concrete block structure where the fire pit pan will rest. Ensure the beams are correctly oriented and fit snuggly. Using a cordless drill equipped with a metal drill bit, drill pilot holes through the metal beam. Then, switch to a concrete drill bit and extend these pilot holes into the concrete blocks. Finally, use a driver bit with the cordless drill to securely fasten the metal beams to the concrete blocks with appropriate screws or anchors. Repeat this process for all necessary support beams to create a stable and level frame for the fire pit insert. Observe the existing gas line and gravel base within the structure.
Goal: Create a stable support frame for the fire pit pan
Tools and materials
- Concrete Drill Bit — To drill holes into the concrete blocks for anchor points
- Cordless Drill DeWalt — To drill pilot holes through metal and concrete, and to drive screws for securing the beams
- Driver Bit — To securely drive screws or anchors into the pre-drilled holes
- L-shaped Metal Beam — To create a stable support frame for the fire pit pan to rest on
- Metal Drill Bit — To drill initial pilot holes through the L-shaped metal beams
- Safety Glasses — To protect eyes from debris, dust, and metal shavings during drilling
- Screws/Anchors — To securely fasten the metal support beams to the concrete blocks
