How to Store Firewood

Firewood storage - how much should you buy?

Do you worry that you don't have space to store your wood?

Our firewood represents the best value for money when you buy in bulk, because you save on delivery. However, many people worry that they do not have the space to store it.

No need for a shed or barn

Logs need air to circulate in order to further season.That's why a basic construction like that in the photo works so well.

All they need is a celiing against the elements

Log stores function better without sides. That's why in many european countries they stack their firewood first, then place a layer of plastic on the top only.

No need to buy expensive log stores

Basic log stores can be contructed next to your house, such as the one in the picture. It holds 6 Bulk Bags when stacked, and protects from the elements.

When constructing your log store, make sure of the following:

1. Try to put it on a sheltered wall or part of the garden to minimise cross rain.

2. Don't worry about sides, but if you can, have a decent overhanging roof.

3. Have something along the bottom to keep the logs off the ground.

4. If you haven't the time to buld it, get a carpenter to do if for you.

 

Once built, a bespoke log store can actually become a feature of your house.and will look like it's always been there when filled up logs. It will usually be cheaper than something bought, and will be able to fit the space better, holding more logs for you.

A quick and simple solution to outside storage

If you are short of time and need a quick solution, get some palettes to stack the firewood on, and a tarpauline to place over the top. This effective solution will keep your firewood dry AND cost next to nothing to construct.
