In the long run, however, it goes pretty far in the money. So we recommend buying larger quantities from a local firewood retailer, if possible. It's significantly cheaper and you can usually get your order delivered without any problems.

 

However, you will obviously need some space for storage. In addition, it is important that you store your firewood properly so that it does not get wet and can burn properly in the fireplace.

 

A firewood rack is the ideal solution for this. This is because it allows you to stack your wood in a space-saving way and keep it dry.

 

Small firewood racks for the home

 

Of course, you don't want to be running around the yard at night for every log. Fortunately, with a small firewood rack for the home, that's not even necessary.

 

Firewood racks for living spaces are available in countless designs. So it shouldn't be difficult for you to find one that matches the rest of your furnishings. Of course, it is not possible to store larger quantities in it. However, for a comfortable evening on the sofa, such a compact firewood shelf in the living room is perfectly adequate.

 

Wooden shelters for the backyard

 

To be able to store enough firewood for a long period of time, buying a backyard wood shed is a good idea. Since wood should ideally contain less than 10% moisture when used, dry storage is very important.

 

The best way to accomplish this outdoors is to use a firewood rack that has a roof. Otherwise, if the appearance of the wood shelter is not a deciding factor, you can cover your firewood with a plastic tarp.

 

Many homeowners, however, deliberately decide to forgo this variant and instead use their wood shelter, including firewood, specifically as a design element for their garden or also as a practical protection from the prying eyes of neighbors.

 

Metal firewood holder

 

With a metal firewood rack, you're banking on a particularly strong and durable wooden shelter that the weather will hardly be able to damage. This is true at least if you pay attention to the quality of your purchases. Provided that's the case, you can usually count on a metal firewood rack to be perfectly suitable for outdoor use and you can use it to store firewood for your fireplace for many years to come.

 

Wood firewood racks

 

In addition to metal models, there are also firewood racks that are made of impregnated wood from spruce or pine trees. Since the material costs and manufacturing costs are comparatively low, firewood racks made of wood are usually much cheaper. In terms of weather resistance, however, they cannot compete with a high-quality firewood support made of metal.

 

Plastic firewood racks

 

The person who is looking for a particularly cheap and lightweight storage solution can, in addition to metal and wooden models, opt for a plastic shelter. Such a firewood rack is not too noticeable. But it is not only cheap, it is also very resistant to weather conditions. In addition, plastic is very easy to clean.

 

Set up a firewood rack and fill it with wood

 

Be aware that the wood can be quite heavy, depending on the quantity. Therefore, it is important to prepare the ground before putting up your wooden shelter. The ground should be flat and firm.

 

While a sunny, south-facing location near the wall of your house or garage is a good choice. However, be sure to leave a 15 to 20 inch gap between the logs and the wall. This way, you'll ensure good air circulation while avoiding damage from moisture seeping into the firewood.

 

You shouldn't stack the wood itself too tightly, or the logs will dry very unevenly. Stacking the logs bark side down will also prevent rot from forming during storage.

 

Firewood should not be stored indefinitely

 

In order to burn your wood in your stove, it must be dry. Generally, if stored properly, this will be the case after about two years. You should not use the firewood before that time, as it is still too wet.

 

On the other hand, you should also remember that storing it for too long is also to be avoided, as after a certain period of time, the heating value of the wood decreases. Normally, this applies to firewood whose storage period has exceeded four years.
