Outdoor Log Storage

Introducing our range of Log Stores & Outdoor Log Storage Sheds

Our range of log stores and outdoor log storage sheds (sometimes referred to as ‘log sheds’) are all manufactured by Forest Garden. Due to their heavy duty usage, they are all pressure treated and come with a fifteen to twenty five year guarantee included in the price. Made from FSC®-certified wood, our wooden log stores are available in a compact 3’x2’ or a more spacious 7'x3' log size.

What is an outdoor log stores?

To increase the efficiency of your firewood you need to ensure that it is as dry as possible. If not a lot of the energy will be wasted evaporating the moisture, rather than heating your home. This is why you need to consider firewood storage carefully. Our range of wooden log stores are designed to maximise drying so you can enjoy your roaring open fire.

Outdoor log stores are perfect log storage solutions and a great addition to a garden. They are a place to quickly retrieve logs whilst also helping them to become sap dry. If you are looking for log storage to use for an outdoor firepit or wood burner, our high-quality outdoor log stores are ideal.

Whether you have pre-dried kiln logs or freshly sawn logs, a log store is a safe place. Kiln logs are pre-seasoned to remove sap and water content and are ready to burn. Fresh logs need time in the log store to dry off sap and moisture before burning.

Many of our wooden log stores are also integrated as a side compartment to form a multi-purpose log storage shed.

Why do outdoor log stores not have doors?

It is a design feature that outdoor log stores have an open front, but maybe not for the reasons you might think. An open front is needed to help dry the sap in the firewood. The logs need air to flow through to dry them out.

It sounds counter-intuitive to leave them out in the open exposed to rain and snow to dry them out. The reason though is to dry off sap. Timber is a natural material that easily manages water and if left covered, the firewood will not dry properly.

Can they be used as an attractive garden feature?

As well as providing convenient access to firewood and a place to dry out logs, wooden logs stores come in a variety of shapes and styles, and we absolutely believe that they make an attractive garden feature.

Owners will need to keep working at making their log store look good though. We recommend the neat storage of logs and buying an outdoor wooden log store that best matches your garden design scheme.

Our outdoor log stores can be as visible or conspicuous as you like. You can place them in a prominent area or an out of sight corner, it all depends on the aesthetics you prefer. For the range of log storage sheds we sell, these are larger garden budlings, but each one comes in an attractive apex style with side log store compartment. Through the use of garden trellises, decorative panels, outdoor lighting, and of course paint, these log storage sheds can be designed to meet your own personal needs and design preferences.

Garden log sheds with storage

Another option if you would like large-scale wooden log store or perhaps a multi-person unit, is to buy a log shed with storage built in. ALL sizes and styles of log sheds we stock come with a storage feature, single or double doors, and premium Tongue & Groove and pressure treatment, which provides anti-rot and fungal decay protection.

What sizes of log storage sheds are available?

Sizes range from 6'5 x 2'3 (Forest Pent Logstore with Tool Storage) to 10' x 8' (Forest Timberdale Tongue & Groove Double Door Apex Shed with Logstore).

Offering ample space for storing equipment, garden toys, accessories, and of course logs, our log storages sheds sized 6' x 4' and upwards all come with a twenty five year guarantee included in the price! 

Fire pits with integrated log store

As an alternative to the outdoor log stores listed on this page, another option is to buy a fire pit with an integrated log store underneath. Offering a sizable amount of log storage these represent a potentially appealing option if you want to buy a fire pit at the same time. These cost more but space-wise these take up less width than our standard log storage and represent a good alternative. Click this link to view these log stores.
