Get Inspired Into Healing

Finally, a baby-proof gas fireplace screen.

I have a one-year old who is teaching her parents the value of baby proofing. There are lots of baby proofing products out there for all kinds of situations but to my surprise, none specifically for fireplaces. I feel like getting burned from a floor-level fire might be worth preventing.

I am a researcher, so I found the closest thing I could find, which was a trifold fireplace screen. It didn’t connect to anything and could be easily pulled down. But I bought it from Home Depot anyway because I figured it just might work, somehow.

Fortunately, my husband is the king of DIY fixes. When I told him the problem, he said, “Would magnets work?” Magnets? Brilliant idea!

I bought these magnets from Amazon to try them out.

You can see the success for yourself!

As soon as we attached the fireplace screen to the gas fireplace using four magnets, our baby tried to take it down. She did not succeed!
