Where to find the best outdoor log store – Wood Create

Keeping your fire wood safe and dry is essential if you own a log burning stove, open fire or another appliance that requires wood fuels. Wood only burns efficiently if it is dry, therefore the need for a good quality outdoor log store or wood store is important. Keeping a good supply of dry wood will keep you going throughout the winter months so finding something suitable for your garden can make all the difference.

It can however be a little bit difficult finding the perfect match for your garden. You’ll likely be looking for something that looks nice, suits your garden decor and fits in the right place. This is an issue we have faced in both of our previous houses. Therefore I have pulled together some of my favourite designs and companies to make the job a little easier for you.

Read on to find your perfect outdoor wood store.

Can’t find your perfect outdoor log store?

If you’re still not finding the right log store for your specific space or in your style then you still have a couple of options.

Number One

Many of the above sellers will be able to make a custom outdoor log store or will be happy to make a bespoke order just for you. Simply find something you like and drop the seller a message.

Number Two

Build your own log store. I’ve built a couple of my own outdoor log store now and it’s quite a nice little project. If you have a few basic tools and the willingness to do it yourself then here is a basic guide.

Build your own log store chest

I have built this lockable chest log store. I made it lockable as it is located outside the front of our house.

Step one. Materials

You’ll need the following materials. I have provided links to where I purchased mine.

Step two. Building a frame

Measure up and build a basic frame.

Step three. Add the feather board cladding

Simply cut to size and screw on using the 30mm screws.

Step four. Complete the roof

Attach the roof / door and attach using the hinges. Fit the hasp. Finish with a coat of paint.

Step five. Fill with wood

Once in place simply fill with wood.

You can also find my triangle wood store build guide on my other post. It’s another simple build and really looks the part. Just beware these aren’t the most effective use of space. You will get more wood in a rectangular log store.

Thanks for reading. I hope you have found what you were looking for.
