Thanks for the comments. Alycidon I think it would be a good idea to have a page for trade and certainly a stockists list. We do send them filled with logs strapped to pallets. A few have gone down to Derbyshire. We are charged for pallet deliveries up to a tonne so even completely full they are still under that weight. I know the ones in the picture are empty but it gives an idea. Agree with the metre spelling it is a little annoying. We are looking for more stockists. If anyone is interested please email or pm me.

Thank you. We're not aiming at the cheap end of the market. Quality is most important for us. We've sold about 80 since we started in March 13.

Our new website has just gone live. Needs a few corrections and more items will be added but its a good start. British Log Stores | Quality homes for your logs

Here's another bespoke log store 9ft long. Thanks to Alycidon for the order. Delivered it down to Milton Keynes and helped him fit it in place. Customer is very happy and hopefully Alycidon will have another order from their neighbour. Thanks again!

If you can prove that you completely rely on forestry for your business than you shouldn't need to pay any business rates. It's the same as agriculture.

Another happy customer has just sent a picture of one of our log stores..........

Alycidon Email sent. Thanks

Built a new style log store today. Photographer is coming on Friday to take pictures ready for the new website. All log stores are delivered erected unless the customer asks for flat pack. We're looking for more trade customers up and down the country.

If the site you are using used to be a farm I think you should be ok. Do you buy your timber in from forestry? If so forestry and farming are classed the same so no planning or change of use required. We applied for a grant for our firewood company and needed to prove that we have permission or that it wasn't required. An email to our local council asking for advice sorted it straight away. As we buy in from forestry contractors it means we are reliant on forestry and so classed as such. Not sure if same applies if your taking in arb waste. I would just approach your local council and see what they suggest. At least it makes it look like you want to do the right thing.

The website should have read British Log Stores .co.uk

Thanks for your comments. We do change things from time to time and build a lot of bespoke log stores. Here are just a few. The one with the front on was for a customer with small logs, it's easier just to throw them in. Almost finished a log store with planed timber stained black with a cedar shingle roof. Our website My blog | Just another WordPress site will soon be underway!

They've invested money to buy machinery which links it to the Farming and Forestry Improvement Scheme grant. It means that they can guarantee a good log supply to their own customers through our company.

We are now supplying quite a few stove companies with log stores in our area. Hardly any of them wanted a full size one to display so we decided to build in miniature. Its about 3' tall so doesn't take up much room. Contact us for more information about stocking our products. [email protected]

We have supplied Premier Stove Installations for nearly 2 years now. After a few meetings earlier in the year they have now invested in our company. This means that we have one of our areas largest stove companies behind us with a vision to keep growing. Lets see what this winter season brings? Still waiting for DEFRA though about the grant. It's been a long wait!
