In order to get the best from your firewood, storing it well is essential. If not stored correctly, once dry can re-absorb moisture, for example if your logs were to be left outside with no protection from the rain. Or on the other hand if left in a building with no circulation of air, they can become mouldy and rot much quicker.

Therefore by storing timber correctly, i.e. protected from the rain by being covered, kept off the ground so as not to absorb moisture from the earth, and to allow air to flow between each log, mother nature is the best helper when it comes to this, the best air flow is wind, and storing your wood so as to get as much sunlight as possible will keep them dry and stop them rotting.

The best structure for storing wood is a Log Store, log stores come in many shapes and sizes, but if you stick to the advice above no matter what it looks like you will have the best logs for burning and will of coarse save yourself money, as well stored logs will last longer than ones that are wet, mouldy and rotting.

We generally use softwood for our stores, which is pressure treated so as to protect the wood from the elements and prolong the woods life. We can however supply bespoke stores, usually made from hardwood and slate materials, there is a wide variety of hardwood available, but of coarse the bespoke log stores are considerable more expensive than the softwood range due to the materials used. But if there is a special site that deserves the best materials the end result of a bespoke store is wonderful.

Generally we visit the customer and talk through their requirements and consider the best site for the store, we then take measurements and arrange for a suitable time to come back and fit the log store. We then go away and source the materials and build the store at our yard, once we are satisfied with the store we then deliver and fit it on the agreed date and time. Generally an average log store will take between 1-3 hours to fit, depending on the site, it is not always necessary for the customer to be home at the time of fitting but sometimes we may need the use of an electrical socket etc, so if possible the customer being at home would be better. We understand that it is not always possible to arrange a time during the week, and we are always happy to fit the store on weekends if needed.

The pictures on this page are a few of the log stores we have made for customer, click on them to view a larger picture, also you will notice a few after they have been filled with logs, and I’m sure you will agree how tidy and attractive they look, and will fit into almost any situation.

Prices vary depending on size, materials and site, usually you can expect to pay around £260 to £300 for a basic average sized store, but of course we will let you know how much you will pay before we build or fit the store.
