For those of you who thought this was over-complicating a simple problem remember that this fireplace opening is four feet wide! no room to put the thing if you pick it up and move it to make the fire up.
Prizes will be awarded for the most intelligent and the least intelligent questions arising from this design.
The frame is extruded aluminum (aluminium for the UK) a U section with the steel screen sandwiched between flat aluminum bar held into the U section with machine screws.
The handle is made from an aluminum bar and serves as a retainer when the "door" is up.
The worst part of the job? laying on my back for an hour with my head in the fireplace drilling and tapping the steel angle iron above the opening. I broke several drills and several taps.
By the way how do you like my conversion of the wood-store to take the hi-fi stuff and the TV above?
OK guys let me have it!
