Customer Comments: Good afternoon. I need a fireplace grate with an ember grate on the bottom, for my outdoor fireplace. The front opening is 68" inches, the rear opening is 56" and the depth is 23". I am near salt water and the house is in South Carolina. So we want marine grade stainless steel for this application. Given the difficult environment.
Our Comments: Nearly all of the stainless steel grates you find online are made from 304 stainless, which is not recommended for coastal applications. Here are a couple options for grates that can be made using the higher grade 316 marine-grade stainless steel, suitable for salt air applications.
Fireplace Opening: 68" W (Front) x 56" W (Back) x 23" D
Recommended Size: 48" W (Front) x 40" W (Back) x 17" D
Before:
Option #1A: Standard Style 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel Fireplace Grate with Ember Grate Attached to Bottom. Make To Size: 48" W (Front) x 40" W (Back) x 17" D
Option #1B: Standard Style 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel Fireplace Grate with Ember Grate Attached to Bottom. Make To Size: 60" W (Front) x 48" W (Back) x 17" D
Option #2: Modern Style 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel Fireplace Grill/Grate with Ember Grate Attached to Bottom. Make To Size: 60" W (Front) x 48" W (Back) x20" D.

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.

 Photo #1: With your camera sideways, take a picture directly in front of the fireplace from far enough away to see the entire fireplace floor to ceiling like this.

 Photo #2: With your back to the fireplace, take a picture looking straight out into the room so we can see the decor directly in front of the fireplace.
