A fire pit heat shield can offset the high temperatures that fire pits place on surfaces including your porch.

Most fire pits built on your deck will be gas powered because wood burning fire pits could emit sparks and cause damage to your decking or worse.

Putting one of those on a screened porch is like asking to be on the news as a 3 alarm conflagration.
Place the fireplace on a hearth pad or fire retardant rug especially if you have a wooden porch.
