You can get about 5 or 6 years out of one so long as it's off the ground, and use something like danish oil to protect the endgrain, especially on the uprights. Either that or you could use a more aggressive product such as creo. Ash would probably be a better bet for a log store, not the sort of thing you can lift off and change quite as easily as a gate.

Something like that 5 footer goes for about £80. Cheers for the facebook like, and feel free to recommend the page to others

can you tell me what timber the seat is made of?

Its a off cut of oak from some dead standing trees I milled with my alaskan mill. ithink it's the start of CODIT that has given it the interesting grain.
