Abstract
An adjustable chimney shroud and method for installation. The shroud includes a housing with at least one adjustable side. The adjustable side comprises a first panel with an outer telescoping portion that slidably receives an inner telescoping portion of a second panel. This allows the length of the side to be varied to fit a chimney chase of a particular size. The side length can then be fixed using fasteners. The method involves adjusting the shroud to the desired size, fixing the dimensions, and placing it on the chimney. The shroud can be provided in various configurations, including rectangular and cylindrical shapes.
