If you prefer to burn wood for warmth rather than rely completely on
central heating then you need a
suitable
storage place for your wooden logs to make sure they dry
out before you burn them. This wooden log store is big enough to store
a
substantial collection
of logs ready for use and has a rustic finish to
complement your garden
or back yard.
Storage is important
Burning
logs on an open fire can create problems if your wood
is not stored properly. In theory your
wood should be stored for two
years
before you burn it to allow it to dry out. We believe that you can get
most of the benefit by storing it for one year. Be it one year or two,
storing your wood avoids one of the most common problems encountered
when getting log
fires to light. Using logs that have not dried out makes the
logs heavier to
carry, makes
starting
the fire harder and causes
soot to build up in your chimney much
faster.
Design of the wooden log store
The wooden log store is designed especially to
meet your needs and
combat problems with
wood-burning
:
- Logs sit off the ground and away from water
- Panels at the side of the log store allow air flow around
the logs to dry them out
- The roof of the wooden log store stops rain falling on to
your logs and soaking them through
The
wooden log store is big enough for a large pile of logs and can
conveniently be placed at the side of your house or in the garden for
quick access when
you're stoking up a log fire.
Environmentally friendly
The wooden log store sits easily in the garden because it's made from a
beautiful
stained pine
wood. The pine wood comes from a source in the EU that is
sustainable. Not
only does it look much better than plastic log stores, it's also
good for the environment.
Assembly
The wooden log store arrives flat packed but takes
little time to assemble and
has the following dimensions when complete:
- 165cm height
- 120cm width
- 60cm depth
You
will need to place the wooden log store against a flat surface - for
example, a wall - to stop logs falling out the back. Space between the
wooden log store and the wall allows further air flow around the logs.
By
storing your logs correctly and allowing them to dry out
in the
wooden log store, you shouldn't have any more problems trying to burn
wet wood and your store of logs should get you
conveniently and
easily through a
cold winter.
