Large Wooden Log Store with 6.7m³ Capacity

This large wooden log store measures 100x456x199cm and has a stated storage capacity of 6.7m³. With a length of 456cm and an internal floor area of 3.91m², it provides considerably more storage space than a compact firewood store.

It is particularly useful when you want to keep a substantial supply of logs together in one dedicated storage area. The open construction keeps the firewood accessible while allowing air to circulate around the stack.

Dimensions: 100x456x199cm

The log store is 100cm deep, 456cm long and has a maximum height of 199cm. Due to the sloping pent roof, the height decreases from 199cm at the higher side to 178cm at the lower side.

The stated internal floor area is 3.91m². At 456cm long, this is a substantial structure, so measure the proposed location carefully before ordering. Allow sufficient working space for assembly and for loading and removing firewood.

Firewood Storage Capacity of 6.7m³

The stated storage capacity of this wooden log store is 6.7m³. This makes it suitable for storing a larger quantity of firewood at home rather than keeping logs in several smaller storage areas.

The amount of firewood that can practically be stored will also depend on the length and shape of the logs and how they are stacked. Neat, stable stacking helps make efficient use of the available space.

19mm Pine Timber Walls

The log store is constructed with 19mm thick pine timber walls. Pine gives the structure a natural appearance and can be finished with a suitable outdoor wood protection product.

Timber is a natural material. Exposure to changes in temperature, moisture and sunlight can result in colour changes, expansion, contraction and small drying cracks. Appropriate treatment and periodic maintenance are therefore important.

Untreated Pine – Treatment Required

The pine used for this log store is supplied untreated and must therefore be suitably protected for continued outdoor exposure. This product should not be described as pressure-treated or pre-treated pine.

Treat the relevant timber components during assembly with a suitable wood protection product. After assembly, the exterior should be finished promptly with a coloured, breathable wood protection product suitable for outdoor timber. Always follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer of the treatment product.

Pay particular attention to cut ends, joints and other areas where moisture can more readily enter the timber.

12mm Water-Resistant OSB-3 Pent Roof

The wooden log store has a 12mm thick pent roof made from water-resistant OSB-3 and finished with a grey bitumen coating. The roof helps protect the stored firewood against direct rainfall from above.

The roof slopes from 199cm to 178cm. When choosing the position of the store, consider the direction in which rainwater will run off the roof.

Does a Log Store Keep Firewood Dry?

A covered log store helps protect firewood from direct rain from above, but an open log store cannot guarantee that the wood will remain completely dry in all weather conditions. Wind-driven rain, humidity, the location of the store and the way the logs are stacked can all affect the stored firewood.

The open construction also provides an important benefit: air can circulate around the logs. When storing firewood, ventilation is important alongside protection from direct rainfall.

Why Does Firewood Need Ventilation?

Air circulation helps moisture around stored firewood to disperse. Logs should therefore not be completely enclosed without adequate ventilation.

When storing a large quantity of firewood:

• protect the logs from direct rainfall as far as possible;
• allow air to circulate around the stack;
• stack the logs evenly and securely;
• avoid prolonged contact with damp ground where possible;
• make sure the stack cannot lean or fall forwards;
• check stability when adding or removing logs.

Wooden Log Store Without a Floor

This log store is supplied without a floor. This is an important consideration when preparing the site and distinguishes it from models supplied with timber floor boards.

Prepare a level, stable and suitable base capable of supporting the structure. Consider the lowest layer of firewood as well. If you want to reduce prolonged contact between the logs and damp ground, choose a suitable solution while maintaining adequate drainage and ventilation.

Where Should You Position a 456cm Long Log Store?

This 456cm long log store requires a spacious, level and stable location. Its depth of 100cm may make it particularly useful where a long storage area is available, provided the location is suitable for the structure.

Allow enough space around the store for assembly and everyday use. With a stated capacity of 6.7m³, you should also consider practical access for moving larger quantities of firewood to and from the store.

How to Stack Firewood Safely and Efficiently

Stack firewood in stable, even layers and avoid allowing the stack to lean forwards. With a large-capacity log store, it is particularly important to monitor stability as the store is filled and emptied.

1. Check that the log store has been assembled correctly and is stable.
2. Prepare a suitable surface for the bottom layer of firewood.
3. Start with a stable and even bottom layer.
4. Build up the stack gradually.
5. Allow space for airflow where possible.
6. Avoid creating a forward-leaning or unstable stack.
7. Check stability regularly as logs are removed.

FSC-Certified Pine Timber

This wooden log store is made using FSC-certified pine timber. FSC certification relates to the sourcing of the timber and the certified chain of custody.

Assembly and Timber Treatment

The log store is assembled on the prepared site and the untreated timber requires protection for outdoor use. Prepare the base before assembly and read the assembly instructions before starting construction.

Treat the timber during assembly using an appropriate protection product. After assembly, the exterior should be finished promptly with a suitable coloured and breathable outdoor wood protection product. Periodic maintenance will also be required after installation.

Maintaining Your Wooden Log Store

Regularly inspect the condition of the timber, protective finish, joints and roof. How often maintenance is required will depend on factors including the location, exposure to weather and the wood protection product used.

Repair damage to the protective finish promptly and retreat the timber when required according to the instructions for the chosen wood protection product.

Firewood Available Separately

Intergard also supplies firewood separately, allowing you to add to your supply of logs for use in suitable fireplaces, stoves and outdoor fires.
