Fantastic new way to store firewood!

[Al Baker]

or maybe not new to you at all.

I spotted some of these in Finland about 10 years ago and bought the idea back here to Scotland where they seem to have taken root.

it's a simple construction.

4m of stock fencing with ends wired together.

2 tier.

 

A neighbor of mine has built some that are getting on for 10m in diameter.

He deals in wood.

 

I run my house on wood so mine are just wee. I have 11 of them now and I use about 4 per winter.

 

You have to lash the lids pretty tightly here. we get high winds.

If you build one yourself, take care to offer the cover a rounded profile of log or it will chaff through. A forklift palate or similar will keep your logs off the deck.

 

So there you are, everything but the girl could be yours.

End of silage bail wrap.....sounds like a suitable waste product. (if not a bit thin) Maybe you should consider putting something between it and the timber to thwart the chaffing.....or maybe you don't suffer from high winds.

 

The ones in the pic' are topped with abandoned tents left behind in the aftermath of Rockness.

Ha, no, red paint means burn next year.

Security is not an issue here.

 

 

I learned that when I moved here way back. A neighbor asked me why I was locking the door of the house as we headed off to go Rock climbing.

 

"How will anyone be able to get in if the door is locked"?

is what he said.

Looks a great way to dry wood and a bit of adaptation i.e. on pallets somehow would make it loadable.

Ha, no, red paint means burn next year..

 

But... next year it'll mean "burn next year", and the year after, and...! :-D

The girl looks very useful and pretty too.
