Customer Comments: I've got a small outdoor fireplace on our patio. The firebox is table height and I need to get a set of screen doors to keep embers and ashes at bay. The original thought was to leave the firebox open but that’s not working out very well. I'm hoping for a set of doors with minimal frames that will surface mount to the face of the fireplace. I'm envisioning a decorative flap hinge of some sort.
Our Comments: Here are some options in various price ranges and materials made for outdoors including: Aluminum, stainless steel and zinc coated wrought iron. Each of these has stainless steel mesh painted black.
Fireplace Opening: 28 1/2" W x 22" H
Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also the most affordable.

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.
