Log Store
A log store will help keep your pile of logs looking tidy and will also enable good ventilation to help them to season nicely. A well seasoned dry log will burn more efficiently and give off more heat than unseasoned or damp logs. Ideally all logs should be seasoned for 6-18 months before use and should be in nice, dry condition before burning. A well ventilated log store will help the seasoning process as well as keeping the logs dry..
A good quality log store can cost between £100 and £350. Things to look for are:
Is the log store made using reclaimed wood?
How thick is the timber?
Is the logstore pre-treated?
Does the log store come pre-constructed?
Does it use construction joints or just glue and pins?
Is there adequate ventilation?
Does the roof slope to allow water to drain away?
Is there a floor or do logs rest on the ground?
A cheap log store, poorly constructed using poor quality wood may be a false economy. A good log store should provide excellent service for years to come.
A well constructed log store will be an attractive addition to any garden or courtyard. Many are made from re-cycled timber, so that you know that even storing natural logs can be an environmentally friendly exercise.
