Outdoor Fireplace Screens for Salt Air - Project #10980

Customer Comments: Hello, I would like a custom (not glass) fireplace screen for an outdoor fireplace on the bay (saltwater). I would like a stand alone design- custom single panel - simple style such as your "Carolina plain" Because of elements I am assuming it would be made of brass and I would like it black. The measurements of the opening are 37 inches wide by 32 inches height. Please provide all options.

Our Comments: The Carolina screen cannot be made from solid brass. The company that specializes in screens for outdoor fireplaces is Stone Manufacturing. They make screens from solid brass painted black, Stainless Steel and Wrought Iron with a Graphite Coating (most durable). We did not provide mockups of stainless steel since you requested black. Also, your grate does not look like it is made for outdoors and is too short. The log lighter should go under the grate and the great should be taller to allow airflow under the logs to help keep the fire going. We have included a special outdoor grate and toolset in the mockups as well. There are others, but these particular ones are quite substantial and heavy duty and will last many years.

Fireplace Opening: 37" W x 32" H

These screens are made to withstand the elements and are the best possible materials for salt air locations. Keep in mind that salt air is very corrosive and will eventually discolor or tarnish any non-precious metal. Solid Brass painted black holds up very well while zinc coated wrought iron is the best. The black paint will last for many years, but will eventually need to be repainted.
