Welders and Cookouts | Sam's Welding, Inc.

If you are planning on hosting a cookout this summer, you might want to make a to-do list to help you prepare. Along with cleaning up your yard and going grocery shopping, you may actually want to work with a welding professional. After all, a professional welder might be able to help you prepare for your outdoor bash in these ways. Build or Repair Your BBQ Grill You can't really have a cookout without a grill. If your current grill is unusable because of damage, a welding professional might be able to help. For example, if the bottom of your grill will not stay in place, a welder can weld it in place for you. A welder can also help with things like detached lid handles. If you don't have a grill, you may think that you'll need to go out and buy one. However, a welding professional can actually help you make a grill or smoker, too, if you find the materials. Lots of tutorials online can help you plan this project, and the professional welder can simply handle the welding for you to make it easier. Having your own grill or smoker welded just for you will leave you with a unique and affordable grill that is better than what you could purchase. Create a Fire Pit Another thing that a welding professional can help you with is creating a nice fire pit. Someone who has welding skills can help by welding together square pieces of metal to create a "bowl" or "pit" and rebar to boost it off the ground. Parts of other items, such as a metal shopping cart or washing machine drum, could also be used as parts for a creative fire pit. If you already have a fire pit, a professional welder can help you repair it before your cookout. A fire pit makes it easy for you to set the mood for your cookout, and can help you and your guests stay warm if temperatures start to drop after the sun goes down. You can even use your welded fire pit for things like roasting marshmallows and making s'mores. Repair Metal Railings Before inviting people over to your home, make sure that your railings are safe. After all, you don't want any of your guests to be hurt while waking up and down your deck's steps or when hanging out on the deck. If your metal railings are damaged or aren't attached properly to your deck, have them repaired by a welding professional. Make Sure Your Metal Fence Looks Great If you have a wrought iron, chain link, or other type of metal fence around your backyard, it is probably one of the first things that your guests will see when they arrive for your cookout. Have a welding professional repair imperfections in the fence or gate first to make sure that your fence looks great on the day of your gathering. Have Outdoor Furniture Repaired You will probably want to have all of your outdoor furniture ready so that you and your guests will have plenty of furniture to use. If some of your metal furniture is damaged - such as if it's been damaged while being moved around, dented by hail, or cracked because of ice forming in the tubing during the winter months - then a welding professional can help you spruce it all right back up. For example, a welder can help repair your old metal swing or fix your metal patio furniture. If you have a metal picnic table that is starting to become worn out, then a welding professional should be able to help with that, too. Once your outdoor furniture has been repaired, you can then add a couple of coats of paint so that it's ready for your upcoming cookout. These are just some of the ways that a welding professional can help you prepare for your summer cookout. Our experienced welders can help you with all of these projects and more.
