I used landscaping block that a buddy was looking to get rid of. It's above ground and about 2 blocks high. I tried to find a semi rim, but it was a little too small. Has really served me and my family well over the years, and the price was right!

I used a half of a tracter tire rim and surrounded it with small retaining wall block to match the rest of my walls. Werks fer me. lol

Tractor tire rim. Dig a hole so the top of the rim is flush with ground level. I placed landscape blocks 2-high around the rim. Enjoy!

when you say tractor tire rim do you mean farm tractor or 18 wheeler.

We use the inside of a old wash machine. It works great because of all the holes in it let air in to keep the fire going!

ITH, farm tractor tire rim, approx 36" - 40" in diameter. Tough to find around here but if you can find one it'll work real slick. good luck!

Another option would be to have a local welding shop make one for ya out of steel. I had a 40" 3/16" wall made up last summer for around $85.

I agree with StickNString. Find a local welder. I had a 50" x 16 inch high made out of 3/16 cold rolled steel for $80. The guy smoothed all the edges and punched a ring of 1 inch air holes in it for me. It works great and will last ten times as long as the ones you can buy in a big box store.

I used a 38 inch OD farm tractor rim.

Thanks for the ideas guys I am going to call a few tire dealers and a salvage yard and see what I fine.
