Cottesmore Log Store – 5ft Wide Timber Firewood Storage with Raised Base

Why Your Logs Deserve Better Than a Plastic Tarpaulin

Let's be honest - how many times have you fought with a soggy tarpaulin on a rainy Sunday evening, desperately trying to find dry logs for your fire? You know there's a better way, and you've found it.

The Cottesmore Log Store transforms your firewood from a chore into an organised system. No more wet logs. No more midnight trips to the shed with a torch. Just dry, ready-to-burn timber whenever you need it.

Your outdoor space deserves furniture that works as hard as you do.

Expert Insight: What Makes a Log Store Actually Work

The slatted design allows air to flow through naturally, preventing the condensation build-up that can damage stored logs. This ventilation system helps keep your firewood dry and ready to burn.

4ft vs 6ft: Which Size Fits Your Fire Habits?

Are you a weekend fire enthusiast or a daily burner? Your answer determines everything.

The 4ft Model: Perfect for Occasional Fires

• Height: 127cm (fits under most garden structures)
• Storage: 0.9m³ capacity
• Real-world capacity: 6-8 weeks of weekend evening fires
• Ideal for: Flats, small gardens, occasional fireplace use
• Weight: 50kg (manageable for most people)

The 6ft Model: Built for Serious Fire Users

• Height: 180.5cm (statement piece for larger gardens)
• Storage: 1.5m³ capacity
• Real-world capacity: 8-10 weeks of daily fires for average 3-bed home
• Ideal for: Wood burner owners, daily fire users, larger properties
• Weight: 68kg (consider assembly location carefully)

Quick decision test: Do you use your fire more than 3 times per week? Choose the 6ft. Less than that? The 4ft handles your needs perfectly.

The Science Behind Weather Protection

Your Cottesmore uses pressure-treated Northern European Redwood timber. The pressure treatment process helps protect the wood from weather damage and extends its lifespan significantly compared to untreated timber.

Troubleshooting: Common Questions Answered

Q: Will it fit through my garden gate? A: Both models ship in flat-pack form. The longest component is 150cm, fitting through standard 180cm garden gates.

Q: Can I place it directly on grass? A: Yes, but add pressure-treated bearers underneath for best longevity. This prevents ground moisture contact.

Q: How do I know if it's level during assembly? A: Use your spirit level on the base frame before adding the roof. A level foundation prevents door alignment issues.

Q: What if I damage a component during assembly? A: Contact us immediately. We keep replacement components in stock and ship next working day.
