Customer Comments: I'm leaning towards a fireplace curtain (chain curtain), as I want the least visually restrictive option that still prevents embers from popping out, but I'm open to other options as well. We are just finishing construction of this outdoor patio.
Our Comments: I agree that the bar and mesh curtains will provide the best fire viewing and hassle free functionality. To withstand the elements, we use either solid brass painted black, stainless steel in a brushed stainless finish, or zinc coated wrought iron for the header bar. The mesh is stainless steel painted black. We also recommend adding a bottom bar to keep logs from rolling out onto the hearth. We can also add a "Pet Deterrent Channel" to help keep kritters out. Due to the large size, we will use a special I-Beam Track and Roller system that will not sag.
Fireplace Opening: 60" W x 32" H

Option #2: Stone Manufacturing WI-C92 Zinc Coated Wrought Iron Outdoor Bar and Mesh with Matching WI-F92 Bottom Bar in Natural Iron with I-Beam Track and Roller System and 4" Wrought Iron Wand Pulls.
Option #3: Stone Manufacturing WI-C92 Zinc Coated Wrought Iron Outdoor Bar and Mesh with Matching WI-F92 Bottom Bar in Natural Iron with I-Beam Track and Roller System and 4" Wrought Iron Wand Pulls. Shown with Custom Zinc Coated Wrought Iron Grate, WI-AN10 Segovia Andirons with Solid Brass Tops and Matching WI-T4 Boule Ball and Brush Fireplace Tools.
The I-Beam track with rollers makes it possible to have a bar and mesh over 48" wide that does not sag. It also slides more easily with larger fireplaces.
The Pet Deterrent Channel illustrated above helps prevent pets and small children from pushing the mesh inward and getting into the fireplace. This can be added to the F92 bottom bar, which also prevents logs from rolling out into the fireplace. When installing a bar and mesh, it is always a great idea to add the matching F92 bottom bar with the Pet Deterrent Channel.

If you are planning on burning anything in your fireplace, you need to have mesh behind the glass so you can burn a fire with the doors open. You can chooe between gate mesh backup doors and sliding mesh curtains. Functionally, gate mesh performs the best as the wire has smaller holes that sparks cannot get through. Aesthetically, mesh curtains may be preferred because they do not have a vertical center frame that obstructs the view of the fire. When you are not using the fire or you want a complete unobstructed view, they do not stick out like gate mesh doors when they are opened.
We are showing these options on a flat steel bifold door with a satin brass overlay and gray glass.
Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat and should be at least 8" from the flames. Ceramic glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 1450F and be in direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass. Ceramic glass is $800-$2000 more than tempered glass depending on the manufacturer.
Not all doors are available with all of these glass options.
