The Garden Supplies Centre Large Log Store With Kindling Shelf Heavy Duty Pressure Treated

Product Information

You might normally buy/cut wood and then just leave it out in the garden, elevated on pallets or simply resting on the floor. This can work ok for a bit, but if there’s any bad weather, or just general humidity (we do live in the UK after all!), these logs will get damp. Our excellent quality wooden log stores are not only a handy and super efficient way to store and dry out your logs, but they look incredible too, making them an ideal addition to your garden. All of our garden log stores are designed to be the perfect solution keeping logs and firewood tidy and protected from the elements. Furthermore, while metal is durable it is likely to rust and corrode over time. A pressure treated timber simply lasts much longer over the long-term and is often cheaper too. Assembly

Please note: The product colours shown are representative only and may differ on the actual product due to natural variations in the timber used.Ideally you want to find the balance between the wood store being as open as possible, but protected from the elements! Looking for the best way to store your logs for a wood-burning stove? Then a dedicated log store is a must-have investment, giving the perfect environment for storing longs over the long-term. This keeps them in top condition for burning, ensuring they radiate more heat than smoke! Most heat is released from firewood stored for a minimum of 2-3 years. Firewood can be stored longer but may deteriorate in the rain or due to insects. Log stores keep logs protected from the worst of the weather, helping firewood stay dry so that it’s ready to use when you want it. Choosing the Right Size Log Store

The front is open, so positioning it out of prevailing winds will benefit your logs, but generally the pressure-treated wood construction, along with the feather-board sides, and overhanging roof are well designed to keep precipitation out. Pressure-treated wood is protected from rot as well as insects such as woodworm. In many cases, this wood has been seen to last for around 15+ years (of course, environmental factors also play a part in its life potential). As a result, it’s a great material for a log store. On rainy days, your fire or log burner will require a ready supply of quality, dry (seasoned) logs to work effectively. We offer a wide range of log stores, tool storage, log and tool chest and wheelie bin covers manufactured to the highest standards. All log stores can be added with doors including heavy-duty fixings also with a kindling shelf for extra storage. Timber is sourced from FSC-approved, sustainable sources, so as well as lasting for years you can be sure that it is environmentally sound too. When it comes to protecting the logs inside, there is good ventilation provided by the raised, slatted base and gap out the top. The roof has a reasonable overhang on all sides to prevent rain from getting too near the logs as well. In terms of construction, this log store is a bit more interesting than the others featured here – it’s made from the wood of a Nordic Spruce (more commonly seen in its original tree form at Christmas!), which is generally stronger than pine.

4 x 2 Shire Pressure Treated Log Box - Planed

This way the logs will be dried by the warmth of the sun and ventilation from the draft, but they won’t have rain blown directly on them when the weather is bad. The dimensions are 150 x 127 cm and it will hold 0.9 m³, which is approximately 280 standard logs. If you’re burning a fire for a couple of evenings a week, this will likely be a good size.

For smaller spaces, or households that don’t burn as much wood, a compact unit like the Easipet Wooden Log Store will keep logs dry without taking up too much space. Due to its inexpensive price tag, it’s also a great budget-friendly option.A log store with a 1 m³ capacity can hold approximately 300 standard logs. Therefore, a store with 0.5 m³ of space will hold roughly 150 standard logs, and so on.

You should aim to place your log store in a south-facing direction, out of prevailing wind, where there is still a draft. Whilst it’s certainly not the smallest wood store featured here, it does strike a good balance between capacity and size, which might make it a good choice for households without much space who burn quite a lot of wood.At 116 cm wide and 123 cm high, it has a capacity of 0.75 m³ (which equates to about 225 standard logs) whilst taking up a lot less room than a lot of the other log stores featured here. If you’re only burning a living-room fire for a few nights a week, this should be an adequate store to keep enough wood nearby.
