The Liberty Foundry 18 in. Heavy-Duty Steel Fireplace Grate with Ember Retainer is constructed of 5/8 in. solid, heavy-duty steel bars which stand up to the hottest of fires. By comparison, inexpensive bar grates deliver a hallow counterfeit that's prone to burn-through and buckles under heat. The solid steel bar grate is forged with long-term durability in mind, equipping you with long-term performance. You'll feel the difference of a Liberty Foundry fireplace grate right out of the box! This flat-bottom, basket-style fireplace grate is forged with 4 qty. 5/8 in. solid steel bars. The fireplace grate measures 18 in. (front) x 15 in. (back) x 12 in. (depth) with a 4 1/2 in. leg clearance. Ensuring performance, the grate's custom-designed ember retainer holds embers directly under the logs allowing only the ashes to fall below.
