Dimensions of the structure - If you don't object, I would love to build this myself in my yard... or close facsimile. Would you mind giving me some dimensions of the lumber and steel channel. This is strictly a private project as I am not a contractor, just a homeowner that likes to build things. Thanks so much. David Goldfarb kaweeka@me.com »

Gelotte Hommas Architecture Thanks for your comment David. This project the client was their own general contractor, and this fire pit was a project done by them. Unfortunately I don't have these dimensions. Thank you.
