After a long day of cutting fresh wood, it always helps to have a proper place to store it. Logs need to dry out before being split and a log rack provides the perfect place for this to happen. Log racks are designed to store logs for easy access, and are often kept near the home. These racks are constructed of tubular coated steel and come in many different sizes. Full-sized log racks can store hundreds of logs. For more conventional consumers, small fireplace racks are available that sit next to the fireplace to hold logs and tools.
For the individuals who needs a custom log rack but don’t want to weld metal, adjustable log racks are available. The user just needs to provide two 2×4 wooden beams at a length of their choice. The length of the beams determines the width of the rack and total log storage capacity. Many of the larger racks are shaped in a bench-like design, hugging the wall of a home or shed. The bottom rack keeps the wood off the ground by a couple inches, preventing pests and moisture from touching the logs. If wood logs were to be placed on the ground without a rack, pests like termites and rats could make a home there. Log rack covers are readily available to cover the wood during any instances of rain. Wet logs are exceedingly difficult to burn, which is why an added premium should be placed on keeping them dry.
Smaller racks such as the “log hoop” are small enough to keep inside the home right next to the fire place. Users can also keep these racks readily available nest to their outdoor fire pits. Certain models come with handy fireplace tools like shovels, picks and brooms to help clean up after each use.
