Size:28" W x 15" D x 6.5" H | Style Name:2.5" Leg Clearance Liberty Foundry grates are constructed of heavy-duty cast iron which stands up to the hottest of fires. By comparison, imitation cast iron grates minimize the weight of the iron where it’s needed most delivering a counterfeit-casting that buckles under heat. Our grates are designed with long-term durability in mind equipping you with long-term performance. You’ll feel the difference of a Liberty Foundry grate right out of the box! Cast as a heavy-duty, curved basket style fireplace grate, our G1028-BX model measures 28” (front) x 24” (back) x 15” (depth) with a 2 ½” leg clearance. Providing versatility for homeowners, this model is also available with a 4” leg clearance for use with a log lighter, or for additionally needed floor clearance. Durably built, each grate weighs approximately 34 lbs. and requires some assembly. (Actual forged grate dimensions and weight may vary slightly. )

2 bolts to assemble. 2 decades to last if not abused.
I got the old grate with the house I bought for vacation rent 5 years ago. It already had one section that burned through but the rest of the old grate was like new and was missing half an inch. Add renters for whom anything goes, and who just don't care and fast forward 5 years and I got 6" by 6" section of the grate that is missing or badly bent downward. I think the initial damage happened for one of the 2 reasons: a) some high burning temperature combustible was burned b)Repeated throwing of logs did the damage. Either way I'd be very surprised if I don't get 2 decades out of this thicker one (I don't think it's cheaper to make it out of metallurgic crap and is likely made of pretty much the same alloy or metal formula).

Worth every penny
If you are an active fire burner then I highly recommend this product.After two good fires (using red and white oak) there is absolutely no damage - no cracks, no chips, no warping, and no signs of anything above.Very sturdy. I anticipate many great fires before this grate shows any signs of wear and tear.It sits a little higher than I thought it would but it’s accurate to the dimensions. But it’s not too high like some of the 4” grates.

Sturdy, large, good for coals and ash
Absolutely amazing. It is much larger than I was expecting but in a good way. We can stack a large amount of wood in our fireplace now and it doesn't have any issues with dropping coals. Ash filters through easily, so we never have to get the fire going again after it's been lit once. There have been many times that we can get it to relight in the morning with the leftover coals by just adding dry wood.

Could have been great
The first one I received was missing a hole to bolt the legs on. After returning it, the second one came in with the legs loose in the box and the paint was all chipped up. I'm keeping it because repeatedly returning a 40lb box is too much effort for cosmetic issues. The great does seem very heavy duty and I should have years of use out of it.

Well made heavy duty!
The fireplace grate was easy to assemble. It fit perfectly into my hearth. It has plenty of room under it for air circulation. It holds logs & embers quite well due to the design. It appears to be well made and quite durable! I hope to get at least 10 to 15 years for this fireplace grate!

Heaviest one we could find but it cracked!
Yes - we ordered the heaviest grate available thinking it would last for years. Well, after 3 fires, it has a crack in the corner! I emailed the seller but got no reply. I'd really like to hear from him and see about a replacement!

Better heat than steel grates
I've had mine for 1 season. It's held up well and definitely is a high quality product. I replaced my worn out steel grate with the cast iron grate. The tighter pattern holds the embers better and puts out better heat.

Item arrived missing one leg
I had to buy another whole grate system to replace it because the item arrived missing one of the four legs and there is no option to contact the seller :(Disappointed. If reading, please contact me!
