Babyproofing a fireplace

BabyQuizzle

I need help coming up with a way to babyproof the front facade of our hearth.  All of the products I have seen cover the top of the hearth and the corners (which we need too) but we need to cover the actual bricks on the front as well and I can't find anything online.  The bricks on the front are uneven and have pieces of stones set in them so some of those pieces stick out.

Any suggestions on how to basically bubble wrap a fireplace? TIA!

How about a stand alone baby gate? Would that work?

What about putting a foam floor mat on top of the bricks?

Tuna, I did think of that, but do you have any suggestions on how to get them to stick on there really well? 

This is what I was going to get for the top, but maybe I can get two and stick on on the front?
