Our Comments: In order to avoid serious issues with rust and premature deterioration, it is important that screens and accessories for outdoor fireplaces be made from materials designed to resist corrosion. The best materials for this purpose are: Stainless Steel, Solid Bras and Zinc Coated Wrought Iron. We have included examples of each of these below.
Fireplace Opening: 48" W x 38" H (sides) x 40" H (center)
Before:
Mesh curtain screens require a top bar that has a curtain rod attached to the back of it. The bar can be made to overlap the arched opening or can be installed up behind the arch where it is hidden. The curtain rod is 1" behind the back side of the bar, so when the hidden bar is installed behind the arch, the mesh will hang 1" behind the back side of the opening, which reduces the usable space inside the fireplace.
Option #1: Stone Manufacturing C92 Stainless Steel Bar and Mesh with Outside Mount Arched Bar in Matte Black. Arched header bar overlaps opening 3/4" on the top and sides (no template required). The top bar, mesh curtains and hardware are all made from stainless steel.
Option #2: Stone Manufacturing C92 Bar and Mesh inside mount with hidden bar. The top bar is made from solid brass and the hardware and mesh curtains are stainless steel. Notice how the mesh hangs back inside the opening further than with Option #1.
