Log Stores

If you enjoy the ambience of a fire on a cold winter evening, you don’t want to run out of logs unexpectedly and be plunged back into the cold. With a log store, you will provide a home for your logs, a dry place to store them and a large amount of logs stored up to carry you through the winter months.

A log store saves you from having to store logs in the house or shed, it gives them a dedicated space so you can pile up as many logs as you need and, thanks to us, it will be a stylish garden storage addition to your outdoor space.

Let’s take a look a little more in-depth at the advantages of a log store.

Why You Need a Log Store

If you use a fireplace or log burner, a log store might seem like a no-brainer. You need fuel after all if you want to start a fire! But many may also store their logs indoors or in a shed in the garden but this isn’t the most efficient way to store them. A log store can help to extend the life of your logs, keeping them fit for use far beyond what you may be used to, and it also frees up space by giving them a dedicated area. Read on to find out more.

• Efficient Combustion – Keeping logs in a log store protects them from the elements. It may go without saying but keeping your wood dry makes it burn better. Dry wood burns much more efficiently and provides a consistent flame.
• Weather Protection – Although log stores usually have a large opening for access, they will still be protected from the elements. The design of many log stores takes this into account, with sloping roofs and a deep central space. Log stores keep your firewood rain, snow and general moisture.
• Pest Control – By storing your wood in a dedicated space it reduces the risk of infestations by insects or rodents. You could even opt for an elevated log store which makes it more difficult for pests to gain access to the logs.
• Reduced Decay – By keeping wood on a platform or elevated off of the ground it discourages the growth of spores, moulds and fungus. This helps to increase the lifespan of your firewood.
• Aesthetic Appeal – Available in a variety of interesting styles, log stores can enhance and complement your existing garden aesthetic.
• Fire Safety – Ironically, keeping wood in a controlled space, also diminishes the chance of fire spreading. Keeping the log store at a safe distance from your home maintains fire safety and will contain a fire if one should start.
• Cost Saving – By giving the wood a large, dedicated space in which to be stored, you can buy logs in bulk. By doing this you will save money in the long run and enable access to a reliable and affordable fuel source for the winter.

When it comes to a log store, the main thing you will need to think about is the space it will take up in your garden. Every log store we sell has the dimensions listed on their product pages so be sure to be aware of this before making your purchase. All created from high-grade materials, many of our log stores come pre-treated, to make their use as simple as possible.
