I was worried about my 13 month old Grandson getting burned by the glass on our gas log fireplace. And I could not find a screen that was not metal and was sturdy enough that I felt comfortable using. So, I did some measuring and built my own to match our existing mantle and frame around the fireplace. Made my own 2x2s for the rail as I could not find any straight enough and "knot free". My wife was a little hesitant when I told her I was going to buld something because I am not the fastest builder as I just do it hwne I get time and feel like it but, this only took a couple of weeks including the painting and staining. I can take it apart in 3 pieces for the summer and store it in the garage.
