Customer Comments: Greg, We are looking for an outdoor screen for our patio fireplace, see attached pics. We don't need a smoke "hood" and the top and would like a sliding screen that can go in our existing fireplace and not stick out on the patio, we have a flat front with no step in front of the fireplace. We like #9 on the screens as an example, without the parts that might stick out. We want it to recess into the fireplace and not stick out. We are open to your suggestions so please make them. Look forward to hearing from you.
Our Comments: The bricks around the opening pose a design challenge, so I have created examples of several ways to hide them. I also included the basic bar and mesh options you requested for comparison. Each of these options is made from materials designed to handle the elements outdoors. Mesh is stainless steel with a durble black enamel finish.
Fireplace Opening: Unknown
Before:
In these mockups, the bar and mesh is set inside between the bricks and is shown with a matching bottom bar like Option #9 as you requested .
Option #1: Stone Manufacturing C92 Solid Brass Bar and Mesh with Matching F92 Bottom Bar in Flat Black.
Option #2: Stone Manufacturing WI-C92 Outdoor Zinc Coated Wrought Iron Bar and Mesh with Matching WI-F92 Bottom Bar in Natural Iron. This is Option #9 on the curtain screens page.
Frame screens are similar to a bar and mesh, but have a 4 sided frame that can be made to cover the exposed bricks around the opening
Option #3: Stone Manufacturing CFR85 Solid Brass Frame Screen in Flat Black. Shown overlapping the bricks and wall around the opening.
