Does anyone know where to buy a protective "fence" to put in front of a fireplace to protect a toddler?

Question

I have a pedestal stove/ gas fireplace and I need something like a protective fence or guard for my toddler, the stove didn't come with such a thing.

The stove has a grating of course, but I mean something to put on the floor in front of it, so he can' get close enough to touch it...

Answer 1

Another option is at stores like baby's R us or similar store. they have baby fences that you can buy panels for until they are long enough to go around the fireplace and they anchor into wall studs. They have a gate on them so you can get to the fireplace but the kids can't reach it. We use the same thing to keep our son and dog out of the kitchen since it's open to the living room instead of having a door way.

Answer 2

I think you are going to have to go to a fireplace shop and or an ornament metal work shop. There are rigid shell screens made for flat front fire places and it sounds like you need to have one built that forms a cylinder around the pedestal a foot or so out.
Rigid like this
