[Mugshot]

Must've fallen down

Badly constructed I would imagine;

Yes I thought that for @Tin Pot , I thought the picture may give him an idea or two

I did that last year, worked okayish at the back of my garden but I want the logs more available this year so that means front garden, a bit more presentable and resting on a narrow barren strip next to the drive.

Here's mine. About two-thirds of a pallet width is right for the depth of a log store because that's the limit of reach when you are stacking logs at the back then removing them, especially as the pile grows in height and you're reaching under the cover. Also a shallow but tall log store with a wide frontage exposed to sun and wind will dry better than a big cube of damp wood, especially one that's enclosed in a box.

I thought you had a log cabin?

I do, but I don't keep logs in it!

Very good.

From the looks of yours I won't be able to execute my plan - I want something only one log deep and the pallet base struts are further apart than that.

Curses.

Look on Google images for pics of log stores to get some ideas.

Might as well show mine too.

Freestanding with no fixing to the house.

Heres mine.

The part on the right I made, used coraline roof sheets. The left part I bought (but still had to put together!)

I'm intrigued as to what the wheely bin laying on its side is for with the wood keeping it closed?

I have found these very useful:

I have 6 under an overhang and they hold a massive amount of wood

Six is £150, do you think they're worth that?

 

[Crackle]

I think I bought this one or very similar

I got a local timberyard to cut it. Cost pennies.

There are 4 there for£25? I got mine as pairs from a different supplier, so have 3 pairs one behind another. I get 5 layers of wood up to about 4 feet high.
