Good value for money

Simple construction and limited fixing points means the guard feels a little bit "wobbly" when put together. Some of the side hinges (simple bent metal clasps) had become forced open during transport and had to be squeezed back together to make a secure fit. However, overall it seems more than strong enough to keep small children safe from a fire, especially when it is fastened back to the wall. I also found the nuts and bolts were of poor quality, and it was very easy to strip the threads when tightening them. I've decided to replace these with decent-quality ones from Robert Dyas or Wilko. I bought the guard just for temporary use during occasional visits by small children, and for that purpose it seems more than adequate, and good value.Read full review...

Fit for purpose

When you put it together, the whole thing needs to be lifted to put coal on fire. I have adjusted it with my own parts, so I can fold Top back to put coal on fire. Other than that, it was quick delivery and looks fine. Only gave 3 stars because I had to get couple different parts for it.Read full review...

Good guard for the price

Its good because its adjustable and you can fit it to the length you want. I didn't want to spend a lot on a guard as I needed it only for Christmas day when my 18 month old grandson was visiting. I put the 'top' pieces down the side to make it a bit longer and secured it with plastic tags. I didn't want to make holes in the wall to secure it so didn't use the attachments provided. I had a trial run and the guard did not get hot when the fire was burning so that is an advantage. Overall it it does the job at a reasonable price.Read full review...

Good item for money only thing that I find annoying is that you have to take the sides that hold the top on completely off to fold, as we don't need it up all the time this is frustrating

Desirable item

Well made and smart despite its size. Putting it together was straightforward and the design allows a wide range of adjustments.
The price appeals too

Should be better made!

Appaling instructions. The 'hinges' on the side panels are too small, it is difficult to fold these side panels into the correct positions.

The hinges for the top panels are a joke, difficult to fit correctly. These hinges should be larger versions of the side panel hinges and be fitted at the factory.

Unfortunately I could not find a similar fire guard on the 'Web otherwise I would have returned this fire guard.

cheap , effective, look out for shop bits !

It is a bit fiddly to put together there were a couple of sharp edges, which is not good for children.
I feel that a few more joining clips would have been useful.
One of the problems with purchasing on line is that businesses have to work to the price point of their cheapest competitor, this foes sometimes mean that quality is compromised somewhat.Read full review...

Good, robust design

Fully adjustable and fits well round our fireplace. Easy to assemble and hooks provided to attach it to the wall, which makes it extra safe for toddlers holding on to it! Also I like how the fairly large squares and light (but strong) frame do not detract from the heat and light of the fire.Read full review...

Fire guard

Ordered this due to having a granddaughter in the home. It is just the job. It extends to a great width, covering the full stone arth. Plus it has a top ledge stopping anything from falling into the fire area. Read full review...
