Suggestions for a Wood Burner Fire Guard UK?

[Hannah1048]

Hi All,

What fire guard do I need to buy for my log burner for guests? Are there any rules regulations? Do I need to have one that fixes to a wall?

Many thanks,

Hannah

Hi @Hannah1048, 

Thanks for sharing, I just wanted to pop in and tag some other UK hosts in case they have some info that'd help @Kevin1322 @John2406 @Helen3 @Paul1255 @Gordon0 @Roberta2 @Kate867 @Mike-And-Jane0 

Thanks!

@Hannah1048 I have no idea I am afraid. I suspect there are no requirements (other than a CO alarm) and it is up to peoples common sense to not allow their children to burn themselves on it. Perhaps ask your insurer or local fire brigade?

I have a log fire and don't use a fire guard @Hannah1048 . If parents want to use it while children are at the listing they need to make sure their children don't go near it.
