Customer Comments: Firebox is 35.5" tall x 41.5" wide This is a freestanding outdoor fireplace in the yard. I’m looking for something to help protect the opening from the wind but still allow the heat out. I was thinking either a simple hanging mesh or metal door with mesh. No glass or freestanding screen.
Our Comments: Prices for what you have described are all over the place based on the materials and durability outdoors. I have included options from the low to high end for your consideration. Some are made with wire mesh or perforated mesh. Read about the difference below the mockups.
Fireplace Opening: 41 1/2" W x 35 1/2" H
These mesh curtains are made from stainless steel including the header bar, bottom bar, mesh curtains and hardware. Mounting to the bottom of the ledger stone may prove to be a challenge. I need to see a picture of the bottom of that stone to determine how the top bar will need to be mounted.
Option #1: Stainless Steel Header Bar with Stainless Steel Mesh Curtains and Optional Matching Bottom Bar. The bottom bar will help keep logs and ashes from rolling out and creating burn marks on the hearth.
Aluminum is an excellent material for outdoor fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle relatively high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is not as heavy duty and rugged as steel or wrought iron, but it is the most affordable.
Option #2: Design Specialties Aluminum Brookfield Cabinet Mesh Fireplace Door in Black with Stainless Steel Wire Mesh and Hardware.
These doors are made from light duty 304 stainless steel as a more affordable option to the heavy duty models. Stainless steel is an excellent material for outdoor fireplaces in non-coastal regions. If you are close to the ocean, 304 stainless steel will eventually rust, but is much more durable than normal steel.
Option #3: Hearth Creations Light Duty Stainless Steel Outdoor Fireplace Mesh Door in Charcoal Powder Coat with Stainless Steel Perforated Mesh.
These doors are made from 3/16" thick 304 stainless steel with sturdier hinges for added durability for those who use the fireplace often. They can be made with single, cabinet or bifold doors in a variety of powder coat finishes. We recommend either charcoal or black for the best durability outdoors.
Option #4: Hearth Creations Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Single Outdoor Fireplace Mesh Door in Black with Stainless Steel Perforated Mesh.
Option #5: Hearth Creations Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Cabinet Outdoor Fireplace Mesh Door in Black with Stainless Steel Perforated Mesh.
Option #6: Hearth Creations Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Bifold Outdoor Fireplace Mesh Door in Black with Stainless Steel Perforated Mesh.
Hand forged by a blacksmith from 1/4" thick zinc coated wrought iron. Not only are these built to be used, they take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship and tasteful details. The zinc coating holds up well outdoor. We recommend lubricating the hinges periodically if they begin to bind.
Option #7: Stone Manufacturing WI-DF1M Hand Forged Heavy Duty Wrought Iron Outdoor Fireplace Door in Natural Iron with Heavy Gauge Stainless Steel Wire Mesh.
Wire mesh is most commonly used because it is easier to see through and does blocks less heat. Perforated mesh is very rigid and sturdy, but it is a bit harder to see through and tends to block more heat. I only recommend perforated mesh for larger fireplace screens that would otherwise require horizontal support bars when made with wire mesh. Horizontal support bars tend to change the look of a screen and obstruct the view of the fire, so they may be less desireable than perforated mesh.
Note: Hearth Creations outdoor fireplace screens made from 304 stainless steel are only available with perforated mesh.
