Love these “out of the fire-box” creative ideas!!
this is great for winter wood storage and spacious for my small space house. Thanks for sharing design ideas.
I have a lot of spare pallets so I know what is my weekend’s project. Thank you!
I know first hand you do not want to put wood next to your siding on your home. Please remember it is wood, it attracts bugs and they will get into your home any way they can. Putting the firewood away from a structure makes more sense.
hi! thank you so much for the great tip! i will add it to the post! 🙂
I had to smile seeing your selection of wood racks. Here in Maine, when I heated a lot with wood, we’d use 4 cords a year (a cord is 4’x4’x8′ big). The wood in #11 would last maybe 2 days. We used to open a cellar window near the woodstove and chuck wood in furiously for at least 20 min. to get enough wood in to last for 2 weeks! (It sometimes got stacked, sometimes we just worked off the pile). I love a pretty fire but it sure is a lot of work!
Wow! I’m these are such great ideas! Can’t wait to dream about ours this winter!
Awesome Ideas ! 1st one is the best.
Some really nice designs there. Looks fun to have a go at and is a good way to recycle old pallets etc.
I think the 1st idea is perfect. And the wood being under the benches makes the area look woodsy almost.
Hubby and I just assembled the upside down A log holder in less than 5 minutes, getting ready for cold winter days and nights never got easier than this !!! We are very happy with the results …..
awesome!! thank you for sharing Olga! =)
Firewood storage is definitely on my to-do list. Thanks for the ideas 🙂
So cute! I need to do this. I have so much firewood being up in the PNW, so I need to display it like that.
Love those creative ideas.. I wish I was creative enough to create some of those 🙂
