A laser cut fire pit is only as durable as the steel it is made from. Thinner steel warps faster under repeated heating and cooling, and the cut openings introduce stress points that accelerate that process. CMV Fabrication uses heavy-gauge steel for its laser cut fire pits specifically because the material needs to hold its shape around the removed sections over years of use.
The gauge CMV selects balances weight, heat resistance, and longevity. A heavier gauge means a heavier fire pit, but it also means the walls maintain their form and the laser cut edges stay clean through seasons of burning. CMV Fabrication can discuss gauge options when quoting a project.
