Screen Doors for Farmhouse Fireplace - Project #11348

Customer Comments: Hi, We have a larger fireplace so we need a custom screen. I've attached images of our fireplace. The opening is 47 3/8 inches by 28 9/10 inches. We would like a screen that has a door to make it easier to put firewood in. We want it to cover the opening completely. We live in New England country so we would like something that would match that and somewhat farmhouse. I saw a design with pine trees on that we liked. Very Respectfully.

Our Comments: We can make a free standing screen with doors for your fireplace, but given the large size it will not be particularly stable. For this reason, we recommend having a door made that actually attaches to the fireplace so it will be rigid. We have created mockups so you can see the difference between the two types.

Free Standing Screen Doors

Free standing screens with doors will be somewhat unstable in this size. In cases like this, the manufacturer provides a clamp that attaches to the lintel to hold the screen to the fireplace for stability.
