Custom Screen Options for Outdoor Fireplace - Project #20013

Customer Comments: Terry, Per our discussion yesterday, here are pics of my stone, outdoor fireplace I'm looking for coverage. Either just screen or screen and glass as appropriate. Also provided is a link to a site where you can see the iron gates my great, great uncle made at St. Michael's Church in Charleston SC. His name was Johaunn August Wilhelm "JAW" Iusti. His initials are embedded on the top of the arch to the gate. Relative to the design of the doors, I am wondering if the pattern on one side of the linked example could be used where each door could contain half of the general pattern so that when closed, it would look "similar" to one side of the original gate. In essence, simply split the pattern in half. Also, not expecting an exact replica but rather a dumbed down, slightly simpler, general feel for the original. Thanks, Paul

Our Comments: Here are 3 mockups using the gate pattern that you provided.
