Fireplace & Patio Heater Accessories

This page is firewood: how you stack it, how you keep it dry, and what you use at the hearth once it is indoors. The ShelterLogic racks come in 4, 8, 12 and 16 ft lengths in two builds. The Ultra-Duty range is the heavier one, a 16-gauge steel U-channel frame with I-beam reinforced cross spacers at each leg, rated on the 12 ft model to a 6,600 lb load; the Heavy-Duty range is the lighter build in the same lengths. Both are open-sided on purpose, because air moving through a stack is what seasons wood, and lifting it off the ground is what keeps insects, mould and rot out of it. The 12 ft racks hold about three quarters of a cord. Several lengths are sold both with a cover and without, so you can take the frame alone if the wood already lives under a roof.

If you would rather build the rack yourself, there are two bracket kits. The adjustable steel kit is 1 3/8 in. tube steel with a baked-on powder coat finish and comes with its wood screws; the moulded ABS kit takes six 2 x 4s and needs no tools at all. Both adjust to any length - you supply the lumber and decide how long the stack is. For wood that has to travel, the Haul-It rolling cart is 14-gauge tubular steel on pneumatic all-terrain tires, slim enough at 21.5 x 26 x 43 in. to roll through most doorways with a full load, and there are four carry bags in different shapes, from a 24 x 12 x 20 in. tote to a 31 x 11 x 22 in. extra-large and a 40 x 19 in. open-ended sling. The two Gazebo Penguin log shelters are the enclosed option: a row of stacked wood under a heavy-duty cover.

Covers are sold both ways here. The racks in the with-cover versions carry a two-way adjustable polyester cover that slides up and down the frame as the stack shrinks, sized for split wood up to 24 in. long, so fetching an armful does not mean wrestling a tarp off the whole pile. The separate full-length covers, in 4 ft and 8 ft, are triple-layer woven polyethylene, ripstop, UV-treated inside and out, with a double zipper, and the universal cut fits most racks of that length including one you did not buy here. Indoors, the five-piece cast iron set - poker, tongs, shovel, brush and stand - and the three-panel hinged steel fire screen, which needs no assembly, are the two fireplace pieces on this page.

Firewood Storage FAQ

Which firewood rack length should I buy?

Measure the wall or the run of ground you can give it, then work back from how much wood you burn. The racks here are 4, 8, 12 and 16 ft long and all of them are roughly the same width and height, so length is the variable: a 12 ft rack holds about three quarters of a cord, and the shorter ones scale down from there. Two shorter racks are often easier to place than one long one, because a stack takes its load from the ground and a rack does not have to be in a single line. The choice between the Heavy-Duty and the Ultra-Duty range is about what the frame carries rather than what it holds: the Ultra-Duty frame is 16-gauge steel in a U-channel section with I-beam reinforced cross spacers at every leg, and the 12 ft model is rated to a 6,600 lb load. If the rack is going to stand full through a winter and be refilled every autumn, that is the one built for it.

Do I need a cover, and will one fit a rack I already own?

Seasoned wood needs air on the sides and a roof on top, which is exactly what a cover does when it is cut for the job. The racks sold as with-cover versions come with a two-way adjustable polyester cover that slides up and down the frame as the stack goes down, and it is sized for split wood up to 24 in. long, so you reach an armful without taking the whole cover off. The two full-length covers sold on their own, 4 ft and 8 ft, are triple-layer woven polyethylene, ripstop, UV-treated inside and out, and close with a double zipper; the universal cut fits most racks of that length, including racks bought elsewhere. What a cover should never be is a tarp thrown over the pile and weighted down: that traps moisture against the wood and makes it harder to burn, not easier.

Can I build my own firewood rack?

Yes, and two kits on this page are made for it. The adjustable steel bracket kit is two-piece 1 3/8 in. tube steel with reinforced uprights and a baked-on powder coat finish, and it arrives with the wood screws. The moulded ABS bracket kit is the tool-free one: it takes six 2 x 4s, grips them without fasteners and sets up or comes down in minutes. Both are adjustable to any length, which is the point of a bracket kit - you decide how long the stack is and buy lumber to suit. Neither kit includes the lumber, so price that in. Build it on level ground, keep the wood a little away from a wall so air can pass behind the stack, and add one of the universal covers if it is standing in the open.
