Wood storage keeps your firewood dry, off the ground and easy to access, which matters because well-seasoned logs burn cleaner, hotter and with less smoke than damp wood. A proper log store extends the working life of the timber and makes the difference between a quick light and a frustrating struggle on a cold autumn evening.

Why dry wood matters
Hardwood at a moisture content below 20 percent burns at the temperature it should, produces less creosote and gives off the warmth you would expect. Wood stored loose on the ground absorbs moisture from the soil and the air, which pushes that moisture content up. A raised, vented log store solves the problem.
Open log stores, closed stores and cabinets
Open log stores have a roof and a back wall, with the sides open for airflow. They suit storing actively drying logs and most general firewood. Closed wood stores or cabinets give more protection from sideways rain and snow, which suits cleaner kindling and finished fire-ready bundles. Both formats appear in our range.
Materials and build
Most wood storage in the range is steel-framed with either a powder-coated or Corten weathering finish. Corten patinates to a warm russet and sits comfortably alongside Corten fire pits in a coordinated garden scheme. Powder-coated black or anthracite reads as more contemporary and pairs well with modern fencing and paving.

Frequently asked questions
How much wood does a typical log store hold?
A compact log store holds roughly 0.5 cubic metres, enough for 4 to 6 weeks of regular fire pit use. A larger garden store holds 1 to 2 cubic metres, enough for a full autumn and winter of evening fires.
Where should I place a log store in the garden?
Against a sheltered wall or fence, with the open side facing away from the prevailing wind. A position that gets some sun helps the wood continue to dry.
How long does seasoned wood keep in a log store?
Well-seasoned hardwood keeps in good condition for 2 to 3 years in a covered store. Freshly cut wood needs 1 to 2 years to season before it is ready to burn.
Is the floor of a log store solid or open?
Most log stores have a slatted or open floor, which lets air circulate underneath. This is essential for keeping the bottom logs dry.
