This screen is very well constructed. It is sleek and low profile so it doesn't look gawdy when on the stone firepit in the yard. It doesn't open- must lift off to tend the fire so leave yourself room and have a long lifting rod. It has a hinged handle on top and a hole for a top ring so i added a ring for easier lifting in and out. Also... it began to spot surface rust pretty quickly after a few weeks outside. I would spray paint it with high heat paint if its going to be left outside. Or get a cover. Yes i recommend this product.
