Build Your Own Fireplace Screen

Look for old windows at flea markets thrift stores or secondhand shops that specialize in re purposed items.

Build your own fireplace screen. Try making your own fireplace screen from a window sash. Just remember to measure the opening of your fireplace first and take a tape measure with you on your search. This is mostly welding pieces together so i don t title it blacksmithing. The screen would give the depth and perception of a bunch of stacked wood but really it would be just a few inches thick and somewhat easy to pop in and out.

Take four rods and weld them together at right angles to create a square or rectangular frame. Many of these have architectural salvage for you to pick through. Only do this if you have experience using a welder. Make sure their length is appropriate for your screen size.
