5 top tips for storing logs correctly

If you’ve installed a wood-burner or re-instated an old fireplace to heat your home through the winter, keep your logs neatly stacked and easily-accessible in a dedicated log store. With an open front and slatted sides that allow air to circulate, the 6ft x 3ft double log store from Waltons adds rustic kerb appeal to your front entrance or tucks neatly out of sight in a side-return.

But a log store is much more than just a way to keep your garden tidy. Storing your wood correctly will help it to ignite quicker, burn more efficiently and release less smoke into the atmosphere. Here are five top tips for storing logs: 

1. It may seem counter-intuitive, but don’t cover your wood with a plastic sheet or it’s likely to become damp and mouldy. Sun and air are the best ways to ‘season’ your wood and dry the sap.
2. Stack logs in a single-depth row (rather than a pile) to allow air to flow through them. 
3. Raise your logs off the floor to allow air to circulate beneath. 
4. Store your logs in a sunny spot but make sure they’re easily accessible. They can be heavy, and you don’t want to have to walk far when it’s cold and dark. 
5. Bring logs inside the day before you need them. This removes any lingering moisture and prevents them from hissing and spitting when lit. Damp wood gives off less heat and releases more carbon dioxide into the air. 

Constructed in the UK from ethically sourced, pressure-treated timber, a purpose-built log store is the best way to protect your logs from damp and rot. The slanted roof, raised floor, open front and slatted sides allow the sun and wind to season ‘green’ wood and help the sap to dry up. A great way to keep your garden tidy, our beautifully filled log store makes an attractive outdoor feature, too!
