Large Wooden Log Store with 4.3m³ Capacity

The wooden log store 130x228x199cm provides a generous 4.3m³ storage capacity for logs and firewood. With an internal floor area of 2.55m², this larger model is ideal when you want to keep a substantial supply of firewood organised in one dedicated outdoor storage area.

A dedicated log store keeps larger quantities of firewood together rather than spread around the garden. The design combines overhead shelter with an open construction, helping protect the logs from direct rainfall while allowing air to circulate around the stored wood.

Wooden Log Store 130x228x199cm

The log store measures 130cm deep, 228cm wide and up to 199cm high. Due to the sloping pent roof, the specified height is 199cm at the higher side and 169cm at the lower side.

The internal floor area is 2.55m². Before ordering, carefully measure the intended installation area and allow sufficient additional space for assembly and for loading and removing firewood.

4.3m³ Firewood Storage Capacity

This large log store has a specified storage capacity of 4.3m³. This makes it particularly suitable when a smaller firewood rack does not provide enough space for the amount of logs you want to store.

The actual quantity of firewood that can be stacked in practice will also depend on the length and shape of the logs and the way in which they are arranged.

19mm Pine Walls

The wooden walls are 19mm thick and made from pine. The natural appearance of the timber works well alongside other wooden features in the garden.

Pine is a natural material. Exposure to moisture, sunlight and changes in temperature can cause timber to change colour, expand or contract. Small drying cracks can also occur naturally. Correct treatment and periodic maintenance are therefore important.

Untreated Pine Log Store

This wooden log store is supplied in untreated pine. The timber therefore requires suitable protective treatment before prolonged exposure to outdoor conditions.

During assembly, treat the relevant timber components with a suitable wood preservative. After assembly, the exterior should be finished promptly with a suitable coloured, breathable exterior wood protection product. Always follow the application instructions for the product you use.

Pay particular attention to cut edges, joints and other areas where moisture may penetrate the timber more easily.

12mm Pent Roof

The log store has a pent roof with a specified thickness of 12mm. The roof slopes from the higher side at 199cm to the lower side at 169cm.

The slope helps rainwater run off the roof. When choosing the position of the log store, consider the direction in which water will drain so that it does not collect in an unsuitable location.

Protection from Rain with Natural Ventilation

The roof helps shelter the stored firewood from direct rainfall from above, while the open construction allows air to circulate around the logs. Both are important considerations when storing firewood outdoors.

An open log store is not the same as a fully enclosed waterproof storage building. Wind-driven rain and high humidity can still affect the stored wood, so the position of the log store also plays an important role.

Why Does Firewood Need Ventilation?

Air circulation helps moisture around the stored firewood to escape. Completely enclosing logs without adequate ventilation is therefore not necessarily better for storing firewood.

For effective firewood storage:

• protect the logs from direct rainfall where possible;
• allow sufficient air circulation;
• stack the logs evenly and securely;
• avoid prolonged direct contact with damp ground where possible;
• check the stability of the stack regularly.

Wooden Log Store Without a Floor

This log store is supplied without a floor. Preparing a suitable base is therefore particularly important for both the stability of the structure and the way in which the firewood is stored.

Install the log store on a level, firm and suitable base. As no timber floor is supplied, consider how the lowest layer of logs will be positioned in relation to the ground.

If you want to prevent direct contact between the firewood and damp ground, use a suitable solution that maintains stability, drainage and ventilation.

Where Should You Position a Large Log Store?

Choose a level, stable and accessible location with sufficient room for the full 130x228x199cm dimensions. With a storage capacity of 4.3m³, it is also worth considering how the firewood will be delivered to and removed from the store.

A position near the house, garden shed or another suitable area may be convenient. Make sure there is sufficient ventilation around the stored logs and take the drainage direction of the pent roof into account.

How to Stack Firewood in the Log Store

Stacking the logs evenly and securely helps make good use of the available capacity and reduces the risk of the stack leaning forwards. At the same time, sufficient airflow should be maintained around the firewood.

1. Check that the log store has been assembled correctly and is stable.
2. Provide a suitable base for the bottom layer of logs.
3. Position the first logs securely and evenly.
4. Build the stack gradually.
5. Avoid allowing the stack to lean forwards.
6. Do not unnecessarily restrict air circulation.
7. Check the stability of the stack whenever logs are added or removed.

FSC-Certified Pine Timber

FSC-certified pine timber is specified for this wooden log store. FSC certification relates to the certified sourcing and chain of custody of the timber.

FSC certification does not mean that untreated timber can be permanently exposed outdoors without suitable protection. Correct treatment and periodic maintenance are still required.

Assembly and Treatment of the Log Store

The wooden log store is supplied for assembly at the prepared installation location. As the pine is untreated, timber protection should form part of the assembly and finishing process.

Prepare the base first, check the components and follow the supplied assembly instructions. Treat the timber as required and finish the exterior after assembly with a suitable coloured, breathable wood protection product intended for outdoor use.

Maintaining Untreated Pine

Applying a protective finish once does not make the log store maintenance-free. Check the condition of the timber and protective finish periodically and re-treat the structure when required by the wood protection product being used.

Pay particular attention to the roof, joints and timber components close to ground level.

Kiln-Dried Beech Firewood Available Separately

Intergard also supplies kiln-dried beech firewood separately. This can be combined with the log store to create a practical supply of logs for a suitable fireplace, wood-burning stove or outdoor fire.
