Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Sep 12, 2013A fireplace grate as you know needs to be made of metal. A steel frame to support a steel mesh that will capture any sparks that fly out. You need to be really careful when choosing the screening materials or risk no protection. This is not really a simple DIY project to do, unless your familiar with working with metal and can weld or drill and screw steel and have a way to fasten the screening which I doubt you will find at any box stores. You may be better off doing a search on a web site such as Craig's list or perhaps E Bay for one that someone is selling on the cheep.Helpful Reply

Tomi Belgard on Sep 14, 2013I am thinking you might mean a '"fireplace screen", ? You could buy a trifold foam display board from Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Walmart, cover with what ever material you like, fabric, contact paper, what ever. Be sure to measure your fireplace opening and check the size of the foam board. Good luckHelpful Reply

Rus1058682 on Oct 26, 2015Hit the streets.. Lol.. Yard Sales, Flea Markets, and Second-hand stores, are great places to find things you need at a price you can afford. And it helps repurpose things others don't need, keeping the land-fill clutter down.. Hope this helped... RHelpful Reply
