When installing a heating system operating on solid fuel, country house There is a need to purchase or build a firewood rack for a stove or fireplace. The point is that to leave under open air It is impossible to store firewood reserves for the heating season - precipitation will quickly destroy them.

To keep them dry and usable, you need to prepare a storage area for them. Of course, you can take the entire supply of wood to a barn or other household building, but a suburban area will have a more aesthetic and attractive appearance if you build or buy a firewood shed for fuel. As a result, the problem of storing firewood will be solved.

Types of firewood for private houses and cottages

A woodpile for a fireplace or other heating unit can be made from the most different materials, but in most cases they use metal or lumber. Also, some home craftsmen use barrels, concrete rings for building wells and other items available on the market to create firewood. suburban area.

The choice of material and available items depends on the place where the device for storing logs is supposed to be placed - inside the building or outside.

Firewood racks can be divided into 4 categories:

  • stationary;
  • portable;
  • for premises;
  • for the street.

Many homeowners use sheds to store firewood, but in buildings without constant air circulation, the firewood quickly becomes damp and the wood begins to rot. Insects and rodents often live in such a structure. The firewood box looks more attractive and stylish.

Regardless of the choice of manufacturing material, it must solve a number of problems, including:

  • ensuring the circulation of air masses between logs;
  • reliable protection of firewood from precipitation;
  • ensuring convenient operation.

An outdoor firewood shed is similar in appearance to an ordinary shed. But its walls should not be tightly closed to ensure high-quality ventilation. The floor of the building must be raised above the ground so that the wood does not become damp. For the home, it is better to use designs that have graceful shapes.

You can build an openwork forged firewood rack for a fireplace - a stove that is small in size. It is usually assigned an aesthetic function and only a few stacks of firewood are placed in it. Depending on your desire, this stand can be made mobile or stationary. To make forged firewood, hot or cold forging is used.


Also, the indoor product must match the interior of the room, be stable, safe and easy to use. At the same time, a forged firewood logger for a fireplace can have an original, intricate design. If desired, it can be rearranged to any convenient place in the room.

At the street log storage appearance should be completely different. Stocking up on firewood cold period year, it is necessary to ensure fuel preservation conditions until the onset of spring.

When constructing such a structure, you must adhere to certain rules:

  1. There should be at least 10–15 centimeters of distance between the ground and the surface on which the firewood will lie. If this is not followed, the bottom layer of logs may become saturated with moisture.
  2. When it is planned to store a substantial supply of fuel, it is desirable that the structure have several floors, which will make it easier to maintain order in the building, ensure natural air circulation and thereby create optimal level humidity.
  3. It is necessary to build a canopy at a slight slope and then precipitation will freely leave roof covering, condensation will not collect.
  4. When constructing a structure for a significant supply of solid fuel, you need to take care of the arrangement strong foundation. Otherwise, under the weight of the firewood, the floor of the building may sag, and then the moisture coming from the soil will certainly spoil the lower layers of wood. To strengthen the firewood, strong beams are screwed into the soil.

Can be cooked small stand for firewood, using corners, and install it tightly to the wall of the house. Thanks to this, there is no need to close the back wall of the structure. The top of such a building is covered with a roof that protects it from precipitation.

A simple solution would be to build a frame with a roof made of wooden beams. But this option has a significant drawback, which is the lack back wall, as a result of which all the firewood can be flooded with water in rainy weather.

Therefore, it is advisable to use a metal shield made from a profile to protect the structure. Polycarbonate is considered a good solution for covering such a firewood box. Through such a coating material, sunlight will begin to freely penetrate into it, and the firewood will always be well dried.

A good idea for outdoor storage of logs is regular concrete rings. In a suburban area, a similar version of a firewood rack looks original and very stylish. In order to build it, you need to purchase factory-made concrete rings, but they are heavy. In this case, you will not be able to complete the work yourself; assistants will be needed for construction.

To mount this structure, first of all, you need to determine its location and prepare a reliable foundation by filling the soil with gravel and compacting it. After this, the rings will not be able to budge. A multi-level design will look even more attractive.

A budget option for arranging a firewood shed is a structure made from ordinary barrels. To do this, take one barrel, lay it on its side and securely fix it with wooden slats. From several barrels you can make a multi-level structure for storing firewood.

Do-it-yourself firewood holder

Available for sale today big choice original and stylish firewood holders for the fireplace and stove. They are made from various materials. They can fit perfectly into any interior design and provide convenient operation. But some home craftsmen prefer to make such designs with their own hands.

Of course, without certain skills and the appropriate set of tools, it is impossible to make a firewood rack with your own hands.

Option one. Indoor firewood stand

To create a stand for firewood by the fireplace with your own hands, you can use plywood, in addition to which you will need the following materials and tools:

  • construction marker;
  • electric drill;
  • jigsaw;
  • plywood sheet;
  • wooden slats- 2 pieces.

Construction work consists of several stages:

  1. Using a marker, draw an ellipse measuring 90x40 centimeters on a plywood sheet.
  2. According to the drawn outline, the base is cut out with a jigsaw.
  3. They retreat 5 centimeters from both edges and drill both holes with a diameter of about 3 centimeters with a drill.
  4. To give the base a spherical shape, it is necessary to achieve the elasticity of the material, which in this case is plywood. To do this, pour hot water into a large container, such as a bathtub, and place the cut base in it, leaving it for about one hour.
  5. After maintaining the required time, the plywood is given the required form. This should be done slowly and as carefully as possible to prevent damage. If the material does not lend itself well, it can be further immersed in heated water for about half an hour.
  6. A wooden handle is inserted into the previously made holes, which is secured from the outside with a dowel. To prevent the firewood rack, which resembles a firewood basket for a fireplace or stove, from swinging on the floor like a cradle, it should be given a stable position using two slats. They are attached to the base using self-tapping screws.

This plywood design is simple in execution and easy to use. It moves easily and is placed in the right place.

You can make a stand out of wood, for which any wood will do. The only requirement for such a firewood box is to maintain a distance from open fire.

Option two. Portable mini firewood basket

Typically, firewood is stored for the entire cold period of the year. But no matter how many logs are in the woodshed, you will still have to go outside from time to time for the next portion of solid fuel. To make it convenient to move, every craftsman can easily make a firewood basket with his own hands.

It will also not be difficult to make a mini firewood burner of a simple design. Even a beginner can build it, but it looks quite stylish.


Prepare following materials and tools:

  • metal rod with a diameter of 5 millimeters - 2 pieces;
  • metal rod 15 centimeters long - 4 pieces;
  • welding equipment.

The sequence of work when creating a firewood rack for a fireplace with your own hands is as follows:

  1. 2 blanks are made from metal rods. To do this, they need to be bent so that the diameter of each circle is 50 centimeters. The ends of the rods are connected by welding.
  2. The circles are placed side by side and intertwined with wire in the very top point. After the junction is fixed, the two circles are moved from below to the sides at a distance of 10–12 centimeters from each other. The resulting structure is fixed on the table using a clamp.
  3. Using welding, two points are fixed on top. At this point they then make a handle for carrying a mini-firewood rack.
  4. Next, the structure must be given rigidity so that it can withstand the weight of the wood when carried. The future firewood shed is additionally reinforced with 4 metal rods. Their size depends on the distance at which the two circles were separated. Weld the rods parallel to each other.
  5. When the frame is ready, it should be given stability relative to a horizontal surface. To do this, you can use 4 metal loops - they are welded to the base.
  6. To protect the firewood rack from corrosive processes and give it an attractive appearance, this original firewood stand must be painted.

Option three. Woodpile from old barrels

The firewood rack, which is made from an unnecessary old empty barrel, can be used both outside and inside a building.

To create it you need:

  1. Use a grinder to prepare a circle 15 to 20 centimeters wide.
  2. Take a sheet of metal and make it vertical standing partition– it needs to be fixed by welding.
  3. On the left side of the round structure, you can arrange an additional shelf on which it will be convenient to store firewood or tools.
  4. Fix the base of the firewood rack to the floor using two metal or wooden slats.

Option four. Wooden woodshed

One of budget options arrangement of the structure for firewood at the summer cottage is wooden or metal building. But a firewood box made of metal is not able to provide the required air ventilation for firewood, as a result of which there is a high probability high humidity and wood rotting.


For this reason, the best solution would be this simple and inexpensive option for assembling a wooden frame, which will require:

  • wooden beams from lining;
  • roofing felt (regular film);
  • wooden shield or pallet;
  • moisture-proof impregnation for wood processing;
  • screws;
  • construction marker and level;
  • brushes;
  • hacksaw;
  • electric drill;
  • construction stapler.

After preparation, the main part of construction begins:

  1. Draw a diagram of the firewood shed, taking into account the height of its walls and width. When calculating dimensions, it is necessary to take into account such a value as the required amount of firewood as a reserve for the heating period. When making calculations, the following standards are used: to heat a room with an area of ​​100 square meters, you need to prepare at least 2 cubic meters of dry firewood. The quality of solid fuel is of great importance. For example, 15-20% less birch logs will be needed for the winter.
  2. After choosing the location for installing the firewood on the site, they begin to create a sketch that will reflect the dimensions of the walls and the angle of the roof - it should protrude 30 centimeters beyond the frame, otherwise during rain the outer row of firewood will get wet. At the same time, we should not forget that fuel can lie in this place for more than one year without losing its properties.
  3. At the site of the structure, markings must be made using pegs and rope. Experts advise choosing a site without a slope, since the firewood box, being under the heavy weight of firewood, can tilt.
  4. A foundation is made for the building. For this purpose, with the help earth drill or shovels, dig 4 holes about 60 centimeters deep at the location of the pegs. Wooden blocks They are lowered into the ground by about 20 centimeters, but the underground part is covered with resin that resists moisture for 15 to 20 years. The base is wrapped with roofing felt on top. Then the holes are tightly filled with gravel or clay and compacted using a metal pole. Experts advise alternating sand, clay and gravel in layers of 10 centimeters. A layer of film is laid on the ground to prevent moisture from penetrating. The base is laid from bricks and cement mortar. Instead of masonry, you can use a wooden shield, which is impregnated with a hydrophobic compound.
  5. Since the slope of the roof must ensure the drainage of precipitation, wooden pillars are made of different heights with a minimum difference of 13–15 centimeters.
  6. To add rigidity to the structure, the first row of pillars should be connected to the rear one. They take two bars and, using an electric drill and screws, securely fasten them into a structure that is sheathed with boards or wooden beams.
  7. It is advisable to make the walls of the woodshed from slabs - this is the most economical option. Small gaps are left between the elements to ensure natural air circulation.
  8. The roof for the woodshed can also be made from slabs, but first create a base for it. The structure is covered with roofing felt or film on top using a construction stapler. Polycarbonate or slate is purchased to cover the roof.
  9. Finally, the building is coated with varnish or paint.

Arrangement compact space Storing solid fuel in a suburban area allows you to organize your firewood supplies for several years.


If you are the owner solid fuel stove or fireplace, you have probably more than once encountered the need to ensure high-quality and right place for storing firewood. In this case, the location plays a key role and affects the quality of the logs, the degree of their drying and ease of use.

A woodpile for firewood or firewood is intended for convenient and compact storage of firewood. It is this arrangement of logs that allows the fuel to dry well and place it in close proximity to the heating unit. Of course how Alternative option You can set up storage space in a basement, garage or shed, but this arrangement has several advantages. First of all, in winter and autumn, air humidity increases significantly, which directly affects the quality of the workpieces. Also, the firewood stand should not only be spacious enough, but also stylish. Pay attention to its appearance and style.

The fireplace log holder can have different dimensions and designs. Among the large and varied assortment, two main groups can be distinguished - forged and wicker. Also, the division is made according to the material of manufacture. It can be either wood and wicker, or metal and cast iron.

Before you buy a firewood holder for your fireplace, you need to decide on its dimensions. The most massive are stationary models, which are placed in one place and remain there during operation. The second option is more compact and miniature variations. Portable models are lightweight and can be moved from place to place, from room to room, and even transported.

The metal firewood rack is different high quality, strength and durability. If you wish, you can make this option at home with your own hands.

Firewood holders for stoves are selected according to the same principle as for fireplaces. Preference is given to the most miniature and mobile designs. The stand space is enough for 1-3 loads and, if necessary, it can be rearranged or removed altogether.


Garden structures and outdoor installations

A firewood rack, which can be purchased at any specialized online store, allows you to profitably decorate the space and at the same time make it more distributed.

The firewood rack, a photo of which can be found in this article, can be located not only inside the house or cottage, but also right in the garden. Such structures are large in size and in appearance resemble a barn or cattle pen. Firewood in this design is located under a canopy or roof. The firewood shed can be equipped with walls completely or partially.

The main material of outdoor firewood is wood or metal. The second option is of higher quality, durable and reliable. A firewood rack, which you can make with your own hands inexpensively and using improvised means, allows you to store a large amount of solid fuel. A structure made of wood also has its advantages. Unlike steel, firewood is stored better in it due to the circulation of air flows.

The firewood rack can have either a standard horizontal or a more interesting vertical arrangement. The first option is large in size and takes up a lot of space. free space in the garden. The second option, namely forged firewood boxes in a vertical arrangement, are more compact. They fit well and harmonize with both classic and modern interiors, decor and landscapes.

Home firewood

Home firewood, as mentioned earlier, can be portable or stationary. The first option is the most mobile. Also, some fireplace portals initially include one or more compartments for storing logs.

Eco-friendly variations made from wood or wicker are very popular. Products self made, wicker models are the most expensive. The simplest option, which you can make with your own hands, is a firewood box made from boards.

A forged firewood box looks original and expensive, especially if it is made according to your individual design.

Stationary models - large models for installation in the house are made mainly of steel and cast iron, while street devices assembled from wood. Such a stand will not only be an excellent decoration and addition to the stove and fireplace, but also to the barbecue, grill or barbecue.

Portable firewood stands are very miniature and lightweight. They can be moved from place to place. This option can be either more expensive and durable metal and forged, or more budget wicker or wooden. Portable structures allow you to store a small amount of fuel near the stove or fireplace, which is enough for just a few bookmarks.

Stylish execution

A fireplace, the wood for which must be well dried, will look complete and stylish together with a stand.

The big advantage is that when purchasing some fireboxes together with the portal, the firewood box is included. This will not only allow you to profitably save your money, but at the same time buy a heating unit made in the same style as the components, which is quite difficult to do separately. Most often, such structures have small dimensions, which allows them to be moved to different rooms.

You can visually enlarge the room using a vertically positioned stand. These models are small in size and forged options complement well the interior in classic, retro, Provence, loft and country styles.

Also, as an alternative to openwork and elegant baskets for logs, you can buy a simpler option in the minimalist style. Such designs have simple decor and a minimum of patterns.

If you like everything original and unusual, you can choose a firewood holder in the shape of a spruce, a cone and other objects. The variations are quite interesting, and the manufacturer uses wood, forging and metal as materials. You can also design a unique item for your fireplace or stove with your own hands, having previously drawn a sketch and prepared materials and accessories. A do-it-yourself firewood maker is an excellent alternative to both expensive and budget purchased devices.

Log stands can be equipped with small wheels, allowing for convenient movement and transportation around the house and floors. Some heating units are equipped with a built-in firewood holder, which is located directly in the portal. You can also provide for a built-in option if you are going to build a brick oven with your own hands.

If we talk about specific materials, many prefer to buy less durable, but at the same time environmentally friendly wicker firewood logs made from wicker. Outdoor models that are considered the best and most practical are wooden stands. The home baskets that are most prized for their strength and durability are the wrought iron and steel ones.

Wooden home models are no less popular. They also fall into the eco-friendly category. As an original solution, you can buy a leather firewood holder for fuel, which is lightweight and has optimal dimensions, which together allows it to be carried and transported.

Do-it-yourself firewood logger

If you want to save your money profitably, we recommend making a firewood holder for your fireplace with your own hands using simple and available materials. The frame of such a woodshed will be plywood. It is important that at the first stage you prepare not only the material and fittings itself, but also a detailed sketch, with a detailed display of all measurements and design features of the basket.

The main criterion applied to this kind of product, made by hand and at home, is strength and stability. It is also recommended to make the bottom of the firewood box more concave. This is necessary so that it can accommodate a larger number of logs.

Also, a durable installation can successfully withstand the considerable weight of solid fuel and will not break during operation.

If you plan to move the product quite often, for additional convenience, you can equip it with several small wheels. This basket is more difficult to assemble with your own hands. Even more is being prepared for her detailed drawing. The bottom is always made of plywood, while the sides and decor are chosen at your discretion. The stand can be decorated with stone, ceramics, forging, fabric and any other materials and fittings.

In addition to such material as plywood, bars, boards and any other materials can be used to make the frame. If you know how to use a welding machine, and the device is in the public domain, you will be able to assemble a firewood rack for a fireplace from sheets of steel.


Another popular and working option for a simple firewood holder for fireplaces is its assembly from an old wooden barrel. In order to make this variation, you will need that same old wooden barrel. The bottom of the barrel remains in place and is not cut off. It is on this that the logs will be placed in the future. In this case, the sides remain in place, and the metal rods, by giving them the required shape, can serve as handles by which the products can be carried. They can also be used to make fairly stable support legs.

An alternative, but more durable firewood can be made not only from a wooden, but also a steel barrel. However, in this case, as mentioned earlier, you will need welding machine and the ability to handle it.

There are no basic requirements for a firewood rack. The main thing is that it is durable and roomy. In everything else, you can endlessly experiment, select different materials, make baskets of irregular shapes, with original and intricate decoration.

In this video you can learn how to choose and buy the right stand, firewood rack, which will be located in the house, in the countryside near the fireplace or stove:

  1. Firewood for indoors.
  2. Portable firewood.
  3. Firewood rack for the street.
  4. Stationary firewood.

Most often, it is easier for people to use an old garage or shed in which they store their fuel supplies. But, as experience shows, such rooms are not entirely appropriate, since the air inside them does not circulate well. This causes the firewood to gain moisture and may begin to rot. This prospect is not very pleasant. In addition, there is a possibility that rodents and insects will infest the firewood. That's why it's so important to make a firewood maker that does its job perfectly.

But you can collect logs for burning in a portable indoor structure. Look at the photo to see how much firewood a simple portable structure can hold.

This is a small structure, which is necessarily equipped with a roof. Its main task is to make storing firewood safe and simple. Most often, such buildings are made of wood, but there are structures made of metal. In addition, you have the opportunity to make it yourself or simply buy it.

Structures can be either horizontal or vertical. This is an excellent option for storing wood in the summer. And the building itself can be perceived as decorative element or site decoration.

Now that you know what a fireplace log can be, you can make your choice. This will also help you make your own firewood rack. Let's look at how you can build some types of such products yourself.

In addition, it’s nice to know that something was made with your own hands. Then you will appreciate it even more. It is clear that in the work you need to stock up on some tools and materials, and having certain skills will come in handy. But we will introduce you to the instructions and sequence of work.

Simple wood firewood, indoor

The easiest option is to create a tree stand out of wood, no matter how paradoxical it may sound. It is efficient, reliable and beautiful. Look at the photo to see what can be done in just a few hours of work.

This simple design, which can be easily done just by looking at it. And we will look at another firewood rack, made in a spherical shape. Before you start, stock up on these tools and materials:

  3. Saw or jigsaw;
  4. Electric drill or screwdriver.
  5. Wooden slats (2 pcs).
  6. A wooden stick that serves as a handle.
  7. Tape measure, self-tapping screws.

  • on a plywood sheet, make a mark in the form of a small ellipse, measuring 90x40 cm. Draw with a marker or pencil;

  • Next, using a saw or jigsaw, cut out this part, focusing on the markings. Work carefully to keep everything level;
  • in the cut out part, step back 5 cm from one and the other edge and mark the drilling points. Using a tape measure or level, check the exact location. Then make a hole with a diameter of 3 cm;
  • In order for your plywood base to have a spherical shape, the material should be made flexible or elastic. For this you will need water. Pour it into a basin or bathtub, place plywood there, timing it for exactly 60 minutes. It is important that the water is hot;

  • after this you can give the product a semicircular shape. Work slowly and carefully, as there is a possibility of damaging the material. When you realize that the wood does not want to give in, lower it back for 20 or 30 minutes (the water is warm);

That's all, you have a simple, but effective and beautiful wooden firewood rack. It is mobile and can accommodate sufficient quantity logs You don't need to be a welder to join metal elements. If you are not a professional in this matter, then this option is for you.

Firewood box made from a barrel

If you have an old one on your site metal barrel, then you can make an original firewood box for the street, which will hold a lot of firewood. This is an indispensable item for storing large quantities of raw materials. This is what beauty can be made using an unnecessary barrel. As you can see, it is functional and looks very artful.

This is a heavier option, since you will have to work with metal. You can’t do without a grinder and a welding machine. The task is to use a grinder to make a circle, the width of which is 20-24 cm. Half of the work is already done. All that remains is to create jumpers, vertical and horizontal, and fix everything by welding.

The firewood holder can be for the street, home, bathhouse and other premises. In what style solutions Can a firewood rack be made for a fireplace or stove? Which finished projects Can firewood stands be used for DIY?

The presence of a fireplace or stove in the house involves organizing a place to store firewood both on the street and next to this heating structure. Moreover, the device for storing fuel most often has not only a functional, but also a decorative purpose. Very often it can become a real decoration for both a room and a yard.

Firewood holders for fireplaces and stoves can be made from different materials and have various configurations. These factors directly depend on the choice of homeowners and the general design style of the room in which the stove is located.

Why are firewood logs needed?

Many people believe that firewood holders installed next to the fireplace perform a purely decorative function, and therefore consider them an optional element. However, they were originally intended for a completely different purpose - the final drying of firewood before loading it into the combustion chamber.

No matter what conditions the firewood is stored outdoors, before using it, it must be at room temperature for at least a day. At this time, excess moisture evaporates from the logs, due to which the heat transfer from their combustion increases significantly.

Thus, each subsequent batch of firewood is usually brought into the room and placed in the woodshed immediately after placing already dried logs in the oven (fireplace).

Therefore, manufacturers of metal stoves and fireplaces provide special niches for drying firewood in many of their models.

But in order for the wood to quickly reach the optimal state of residual moisture indoors, it is also necessary to create the right conditions storage

Therefore, chopped firewood is placed in a woodpile. It will be best if the firewood is in a ventilated shed. But if this is not possible, a firewood shed is set up for the woodpile, which should also be ventilated. Its side walls must be left open. Well, if such a structure is installed along the wall of a house or outbuilding, then a distance of at least 50 mm must be provided between the surface of the wall and the firewood. Of course, an outdoor firewood shed must have a roof so that water and snow minimally fall on the surface of the wood.

If the firewood shed is installed in that part of the yard where no ground covering was created, that is, on open ground, then it is recommended to raise the bottom layer of firewood by 100÷150 mm so that ground moisture does not penetrate into the wood. To do this, a shelf is installed in the lower part of the building or a layer of moisture-resistant material is laid out.

What are firewood racks made of?

Firewood racks installed outdoors can be made of either wood or metal.

However, we should not forget that wood and metal have completely different physical characteristics. When the temperature changes by metal parts Condensation forms, and this moisture can be absorbed by the firewood. Therefore, it is best to build an outdoor firewood shed from wood. You can, in principle, use both of these materials, but arrange the structure so that the firewood does not come into contact with the metal.

Wood stands installed indoors, directly next to the stove or fireplace, on the contrary, are best made of metal. This material takes on the air temperature and will help the wood dry out quickly. Since the firewood box is installed near the heating device, the metal will warm up above the general room temperature, which will also be beneficial when drying the firewood.

One more a good option are firewood racks built into the wall, that is, built during the construction of a brick fireplace, or built later in the form plasterboard construction from fire-resistant gypsum board

Niches built into the wall near the stove or fireplace, as a rule, have a large volume, which allows you to dry a lot of fuel at once. As it is used, reserves are gradually replenished. Fresh wood will bring a healthy forest aroma into the room, which will last constantly and be renewed after each new batch of firewood.

Another material that is often used for making firewood boxes is willow branches from which baskets are woven various forms. The convenience of such stands lies in their low weight. So, taking a basket, you can go to the yard to get firewood from the woodpile, and then, without moving it, install a stand near the fireplace, avoiding soiling the floor.

Types of firewood used indoors

As can be understood from the information presented above, firewood racks installed in a room can be stationary and mobile, that is, portable or mobile.

Stationary firewood stands

The following options can be called stationary stands for firewood:

- made of heavy forged metal;

— built into the design of a stove or fireplace;

- a firewood shed equipped in a wall niche;

- attached to the wall;

- made in the form of a cabinet or cabinet.

Advantage stationary options is that the design can have a large capacity, which will eliminate the need for constant replenishment of firewood, so a full “refueling” will last for a long time. At the same time, many models of stationary firewood racks take up a lot of useful space, which is unacceptable for rooms with a small area. The exception is drying chambers built into the fireplace or stove itself, or niches built into the wall.

Mobile firewood burners

Mobile options for firewood stands include portable firewood racks and mobile models equipped with wheels.

Portable stands can be made of light metal, wood, or woven from branches. Most often, these products have quite small dimensions.

Metal portable stands - compact in size, usually decorated with beautiful forged elements. Therefore, they will not only become a decorative detail of the interior, but will also last for a long time. Factory-made stands, as a rule, have an anti-corrosion coating, which helps maintain the aesthetic appearance of the products throughout the entire period of operation.

Wicker stands have an aesthetic appearance and are light weight, so they are convenient for delivering firewood to the stove. However, they quickly lose their attractiveness, since the logs not only have a certain, very considerable weight, but also uneven edges, as well as rough bark. All this damages the surfaces of the baskets and leads to their rapid wear. Therefore, they cannot be called practical.

Mobile structures are also made of metal or wood, but they can have more impressive dimensions and capacity. All thanks to the fact that wheels are installed on them.

These structures are easy to use, as they can be rolled up to the door and filled with firewood without carrying logs across the room. When loading firewood into the firebox of the heating device, the stand can also be installed in the most convenient position.

In addition, wheeled stands often have special hooks for hanging brushes, pokers and other fireplace accessories.

In order to avoid going out into the street for another batch of firewood during the cold season and not to bring into the house excess garbage, which is inevitable when storing logs on the floors, it is necessary to have a firewood rack.

Firewood is usually brought in by the armful, contaminating household clothes. And to make this process easier and save on washing, it will be very nice to have a portable mini-stand in your home.

The easiest way to acquire this accessory is to purchase it in a specialized store, especially since the range of these products is quite wide. On sale you can find stands made from different materials, so you have the opportunity to choose an option that will harmonize well with your general design interior

However, it is necessary to take into account that fireplace accessories are quite expensive. Therefore, many owners of houses with fireplaces prefer to make such products themselves. It should be noted that the simplest version of the carrying stand can be made by most home craftsmen, even those who do not have much experience working with complex tools. And what is important - without significant costs.

To work, you will need to prepare some tools and materials:

  • The tools you will need are a grinder ( Sander), a welding machine, a vice, a hammer and two pieces of metal pipe with a diameter of 30÷35 and 70÷80 mm, which will become a template for bending the rod.
  • The materials required will be three reinforcing rods with a length of 1500 mm, a diameter of 7÷8 mm, as well as a sheet of metal with a thickness of 0.5÷1.0 mm and a size of 600÷800 mm. In addition, you will need a well-processed wooden stalk with a diameter of 25÷30 mm and a length of 500 mm.

When everything you need is ready, you can proceed to the work.

Illustrations - blanks and the process of assembling them into a finished product.Brief description of the operations performed.

The first step is to make two identical rings with an internal diameter of 25÷30 mm.
It is better to carry out this process using a pipe bender, but this tool, as a rule, is only available to professionals. Therefore, you can use a vice, a hammer and a prepared pipe template. The reinforcing rod together with the pipe is clamped in a vice. Then, by gradually beating the rod around the pipe, it bends into a ring. After this, the excess part of the rod is cut off with a grinder.
You will need 2 rings with this diameter.

In a similar way, four rings with an internal diameter of 70÷80 mm are made - these elements will serve as the legs of the stand.
These four rings should not be closed - a gap of 10÷12 mm must be left between the ends of the rod. This gap will allow you to make some adjustments later when assembling the structure.

Next, two loops are formed from the rods - pendants. They can have a round or trapezoidal shape. These blanks will form the load-bearing part of the structure.
If the shape shown in the illustration is chosen, then its lower part is made in the form of a semicircle with a radius of 200 mm. To complete the semicircle, the ends of the rod go at an angle and then bend at the top, forming a semicircle with a diameter of 60 mm. In the upper part, the ends of the rod are fixed together by welding.
After this, previously prepared rings with an internal diameter of 25÷30 mm are welded at the top, on the inside of the loops. In this case, the gap between the ends of the rod that formed the rings must remain open.
These rings are designed to be installed wooden handle firewood stands.
The next step is to mark the prepared workpieces for welding the rings - the legs of the stand.
The rings must be located at the same distance from the center of the semicircle, otherwise the stand will not stand level.

In addition, the leg rings must be secured so that there is a gap of 25÷30 mm between the floor and the lower edge of the suspension loop.
The two blanks must be absolutely identical, otherwise the design will be skewed.

In the example shown, a wall from an old one was used as a pallet washing machine. The material was perfect for the stand, both in thickness and due to the presence of a high-quality professional coating, as well as rigid ribs located along the entire perimeter of the panel.
The metal thickness of the panel is 0.75 mm, and linear dimensions- 600×800 mm.

The metal sheet must be bent. For this process, a straightening (template) is used, which has a cylindrical shape and a radius exceeding the radius of the semicircle of the lower part of the workpieces, since the sheet must stand up against them.
As a template, you can use an evenly planed log, a piece of pipe large diameter or an empty gas cylinder.
If a panel with rigid curved ribs along the edges is used to form a half-cylinder-shaped pallet, as in this example, then it long sides Marked and grooves are cut exactly opposite each other. Their width will depend on the diameter of the reinforcing rod from which the base blanks are made.
The distance between the cut gaps in this design is 300 mm. However, it can be chosen at the discretion of the master, and depending on the length of the shortest logs that are planned to be carried in the stand.

As a handle for a portable stand, the master used a shovel handle, which is cut to the required length.
It is important that the cutting is well processed, otherwise you can easily injure your hand or plant a splinter on it. Otherwise, wood is the best option for a handle - it is pleasant to the hands and reliable in use.
Next, the finished handle is inserted into the rings fixed in the upper part metal blanks. The distance between the workpieces should be equal to the distance between the grooves cut in the pallet panel.
Having installed the handle and set the pendants at the required distance, their rings must be compressed so that the metal fits tightly to the wood. Crimping is done using a hammer. The rings should not move on the handle.

The final step is to install the pallet in place. To do this, the edges of the bent panel are slightly brought together, then it is inserted into the curved metal hangers of the base so that the rods fit into the grooves cut in the edges of the pallet.
The panel should fit into the spacer, making the structure rigid.

If it is necessary to reduce the weight of the structure, the 0.75 mm thick panel can be replaced with a thinner metal sheet. This process will not be difficult to carry out, since the panel is not welded to the reinforcement elements.
However, cut from metal sheet the tray will have sharp edges. For safety reasons, before installing it in the base, the edges along the entire perimeter of the product should be beaded, wrapping them in the form of a tube.
Grooves are also cut into the flanged edges for inserting base reinforcing bars into them.

The demonstrated version of the stand was tested in operation for heating season and proved to be durable and convenient design. The compact size of the firewood rack is convenient for carrying and placing the stand near the stove or fireplace. Upon completion winter period firewood rack in order to save space in utility rooms If desired, it can be disassembled into components.
