There is nothing quite like enjoying a warm night around the fire pit<\/a> or chiminea<\/a> during the cold night. However, to maximize the heat and warmth, the logs should be kept dry and seasoned throughout the year. Luckily, this can be done simply with a log store, which would be much cheaper and more space-saving than fixed storage areas, particularly when your property is confined and limited.<\/p>\n

In this guide, I\u2019ll show you some useful tips and recommend some of the best log stores on the UK market.<\/p>\n

Benefits of using a log store<\/h2>\n

Everyone knows that damp timber is much more difficult to light than dried woods. Also, it would produce more smoke instead of heat, making it annoyed to enjoy the night.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why it is important to have a well-designed log store that can keep your logs protected against rain, snow, and other weather conditions.<\/p>\n

Also, this accessory can ensure good circulation of air so that the wood can be well-seasoned, which is important in ensuring the quality and duration of the flames.<\/p>\n

Which factors to consider when choosing a log store?<\/h2>\n

Here are a few important features that you should consider when choosing a log store:<\/p>\n

a) Open slats<\/h3>\n

You need to store logs in the summer to keep them dry out for winter. That\u2019s why open-front units are better than a storage shed. It allows the woods to access more air during the warmer days. Just seal off the store when it\u2019s raining to prevent them from rehydrating.<\/p>\n

b) Raised floor<\/h3>\n

With a raised floor, you can ensure that the bottom parts of logs can be well-aerated. Rotting woods at the bottom is a common issue that would be resolved easily by having this feature.<\/p>\n

c) Sloping roof<\/h3>\n

A sloping roof will be the main protection for your logs against rain and snow. Make sure to check if the lip extends well on the walls\u2019 sides so that rainwater can flow off properly.<\/p>\n

d) Size<\/h3>\n

The size of your log store will depend on your burning needs. A small unit is suitable when you just need several logs for occasional fires in the winter. However, when you want to season logs, then go for a larger one.<\/p>\n

e) Ventilation<\/h3>\n

Make sure the chosen store log provides lots of ventilation. This is important in seasoning and preventing fungi or rotting.<\/p>\n
