Pots Caperose
Pots Caperose adds artistic warmth to any hearth with softly sculpted, hand-glazed ceramic vessels. Ideal for fireplaces that balance modern design with earthy texture.

The 3/4" Black Galvanized Animal Guard is an essential upgrade for any chimney or venting system exposed to outdoor wildlife. Designed with a tight mesh pattern and a low-profile finish, this guard keeps animals, leaves, and windblown debris out of your flue without compromising airflow or appearance. The matte black finish blends into most chimney caps, brickwork, and roofing materials—making it a smart choice for homeowners who want protection without distraction.
This mesh guard is particularly effective at deterring small animals like squirrels, birds, and raccoons, which often attempt to nest in unprotected flues. Once installed, it provides continuous peace of mind while preserving the performance and cleanliness of your chimney system.

Crafted from galvanized steel and powder-coated in black, this animal guard is built to withstand extreme outdoor conditions. The 3/4" mesh offers the perfect balance of airflow and exclusion, allowing smoke, gas, and moisture to vent freely while creating a physical barrier against entry. The galvanized coating protects against rust, corrosion, and temperature swings, ensuring reliable performance year-round.
In climates like Chicagoland—where moisture, ice, and nesting activity are common—this guard helps preserve your chimney’s structural integrity by reducing the risk of internal blockages, flue damage, and trapped pests. It’s a durable, cost-effective defense that pays for itself by preventing expensive chimney repairs and fire hazards.




The Black Galvanized Animal Guard with 3/4" mesh is designed for flexible installation. It can be integrated into custom or pre-fabricated chimney caps and is available in standard and specialty sizes to suit single-flue or multi-flue systems. Its rigid structure holds shape during mounting, and it can be trimmed or formed to accommodate unique chimney configurations.
Whether you're building a new chimney system or upgrading an existing one, this guard offers a dependable solution that protects the flue while maintaining the appearance of your rooftop profile. For homeowners, builders, and chimney professionals alike, the 3/4" black galvanized guard is a go-to accessory for long-term safety and maintenance-free chimney performance.
