How thick is the steel on this fire pit? Is this Landmann pit really only made of 1mm thick metal?

The Sojoe weighs 65 pounds (according to Amazon). The Landmann weighs 40 (also according to Amazon, Landmann themselves claims 32). Based on weight alone, I'd expect the Landmann is noticeably thinner. Since Sojoe doesn't say who's product they are comparing to, they may be referring to other, even cheaper imitators, or Landmann, you never know, but that works for Sojoe. It should also be noted that the Sojoe is currently 2.5x-3x the cost of the Landmann, so a quality difference should be expected.

There are two different sized screens on the fire pit. The screen material cover the sides is roughly 1/4" X 1/4" (maybe 3/16") and we've never had anything come through it. Honestly the screen material across the top is pretty tight, maybe 1/8" x 1/8", but we rarely, if ever, leave the top on. I would think if you're burning something like pine exclusively, or something kinda wet, it might. Honestly though we've never had the issue other than the occasional "pop".

They don't claim it to be fire proof and it doesn't look like its made to be fireproof. It is solid steel construction. There doesn't seem to be any insulation.

It is a carbon stainless. It's actually made of 154cm steel which is industrial strength. Put it to flint or fire steel and it still throws a massive shower of sparks. For more info on 154cm check Wikipedia.

I would think only about 2 inches max. We do like it for our outside fire pit!

Well, all I can say is ours has never melted yet - we have it right in the fire over the flames and it's still OK - I am sure over time it will start to look bad perhaps, but not yet and it certainly hasn't melted - it's made from cast iron or something I think, it's pretty heavy. We have boiled kettles, had pans on it etc and no worries.

The base frame is made of heavy durable metal (very easy to assemble), however, the woven area finish on the bottom is made of a vinyl all-weather wicker. This is an extremely heavy & well made fire pit. We absolutely love ours!!! Couldn't be happier:)

I am in Florida where it rains a LOT. The metal itself does not rust. What does rust is the bolts that connects the pieces. You could live with that or get bolts that wouldn't rust. We love this fire pit.

We have used this fire pit for about a year now....it seems very safe and I think it would be great on a wood deck. Enjoy....Mike

Not recommended from our perspective. The pit is made of a composite material - not sure what, but our first one arrived broken and there was some kind of fabric bound within the stone-like surface. It is cast as stone but is not actual stone, even though they did a nice job of making it look real.

I am not sure although I can guess that the bottom seems like it has a concrete weight and the outside appears (looks, feels, sounds like) plastic over heavy metal. I'm very satisfied with it although people tell me it's movable - could be stolen - and that I will need a larger one - I use more than one fireproof box to store different valuables in different places that are not obvious. I also leave cash and fake jewelry easily found for thieves in a hurry. I would google the question if you haven't already.

The metal ring base does not get hot. In fact I wanted to know how hot the floor under the unit became when the fire was burning. I was able to rest my hand on the floor under the fire pit while it was being used.

If you show us a picture and we conclude it's not because of banging or dropping, we will cover it no matter how long you own it. These are made of conductive firebrick and can handle direct flame without a hitch.Joe

I am not familiar with the landmann - I did measure my fire pit's diameter and it was 30" and this cover fits perfectly. Not too loose not too tight. It also covers down to the legs and looks just like this photograph shows.

Steel with copper finish. Not as thick as cast iron, but thicker metal than most of the store fire pits. Satisfied so far.
