Mevus Linkable Modular Corten Steel Wood Storage

Looking for firewood storage that's actually stylish? The Mevus Corten Wood Storage Unit transforms functional storage into a garden feature. This distinctive honeycomb design adds architectural interest whilst keeping your firewood organised and accessible.

Dimensions: 600 x 400 x 600mm (H)

Material: 2mm Corten Steel

Why Choose the Mevus Wood Storage Unit?

Honeycomb Design That Stands Out

Your firewood storage doesn't have to be an eyesore. The Mevus features a distinctive honeycomb shape that catches the eye and complements modern garden design.

This isn't just clever aesthetics - it's practical too. The geometric structure provides stability whilst maximising storage capacity for standard firewood logs.

Premium 2mm Corten Steel Construction

Cheap wood stores fall apart. Plastic ones crack in frost. The Mevus uses 2mm Corten steel - the same weathering steel trusted by architects and landscape designers worldwide.

Your investment delivers years of reliable service without rotting, warping, or degrading. British weather doesn't stand a chance.

Part of a Modular System

Start With One, Expand Later

Buy one unit now. Add more units next season. The Mevus system adapts to your changing storage needs without waste or replacement.

This single unit stores a generous amount of firewood whilst maintaining a compact footprint. Perfect for smaller gardens or as your starter unit.

Link Multiple Units Together

Want more storage? Multiple Mevus units can be linked together using the Mevus Linkable Connector (sold separately). Create custom configurations that suit your space and requirements.

Two units side by side double your capacity. Three or four units create an impressive feature wall. The choice is yours.

Understanding Corten Steel

What Makes Corten Special?

Corten Steel, also known as weathering steel, offers incredible strength combined with a unique aesthetic. Your Mevus unit starts as blue steel, then develops a protective rust coating through natural weathering.

This isn't damage - it's design. The oxidisation layer protects the steel whilst creating that warm, rich appearance that makes corten so popular in contemporary gardens.

The Weathering Process Explained

Your new Mevus arrives with a dark, oily residue. This is Stage 1 - the protective coating applied during manufacturing and transportation.

Stage 2 sees the oily residue breaking down as weathering begins.

Stages 3 & 4 bring the "run-off" period. This takes roughly 3 to 9 months depending on weather conditions and positioning. Some rust-coloured runoff occurs during this phase.

Stages 5 & 6 represent the final weathering stages. Your Mevus develops its striking, consistent rust appearance. Some minor run-off may still occur as the patina fully stabilises.

Each unit develops its own unique character through this natural process. No two pieces weather identically - that's part of the authentic appeal.

Practical Considerations

Managing Rust Run-Off

During weathering, corten steel produces some carbon run-off that can stain adjacent materials like stone, concrete, or paving. This is normal and temporary.

Protect your surfaces by raising the Mevus unit off the ground. Use wooden blocks, slabs, or a suitable stand to prevent direct contact with materials you want to protect.

After the initial weathering period (typically 3-9 months), the steel cures and self-seals. Run-off reduces dramatically or stops completely.

Important: Avoid placing your Mevus on any surface that might be damaged during the weathering process. Plan your positioning carefully before the weather does its work.

Placement and Positioning

Choose Your Location Wisely

Your Mevus needs exposure to the elements for proper weathering. Place it outdoors in an open area where rain and weather can reach it naturally.

Good air circulation helps the weathering process and keeps stored firewood dry. Avoid completely enclosed spaces that trap moisture.

Consider access too. You'll be loading firewood regularly, so position your unit somewhere convenient for both delivery and daily use.

Outdoor Use Recommended

The Mevus works brilliantly outdoors - that's where it truly shines. The weathering steel develops its protective patina and distinctive appearance through exposure to British weather.

Can you use it indoors? Technically yes, but you'll miss out on the weathering process that makes corten steel special. The unit will retain its blue steel appearance without developing that characteristic rust finish.

Storage Capacity

Perfect for Standard Firewood

The 600 x 400 x 600mm dimensions accommodate standard firewood logs comfortably. The honeycomb design maximises usable space whilst maintaining structural strength.

Stack your logs horizontally for easy access and attractive display. The open design allows air circulation, helping firewood stay dry and ready to burn.

Need more capacity? Add additional Mevus units and connect them using the Linkable Connector (sold separately) to create your ideal storage solution.

Maintenance Made Simple

Day-to-Day Care

Your Mevus requires minimal maintenance. The corten steel handles British weather without fuss or constant attention.

Clean it occasionally using water and a soft brush. Remove any debris or leaves that accumulate. That's genuinely all the regular maintenance you need.

Sealing Options

Want to stabilise the rust layer once weathering completes? You can seal the surface with metal-specific varnish or rust inhibitor oil.

Note: Sealing makes the steel appear 'wet' or darker for the rest of its life. This is permanent, so decide carefully whether you prefer the sealed or natural finish.

We recommend sealing products like Owatrol Oil, which penetrates through the rust to the sound metal below, isolating and protecting it from additional corrosion.

The Self-Healing Properties

Scratches and Damage

Accidentally scratch your Mevus during installation or use? Corten steel has a clever trick up its sleeve. Damaged areas re-weather naturally, forming new protective skin over time.

The scratched or damaged section heals itself, making the repair nearly invisible once the new patina forms. This self-healing property adds to corten steel's exceptional longevity.

No touch-up paint needed. No visible repairs. Just natural weathering doing what it does best.

Style and Function Combined

Garden Feature, Not Just Storage

Traditional firewood storage hides away, often looking shabby and temporary. Your Mevus installation becomes a deliberate design element.

The honeycomb pattern catches light beautifully throughout the day. The developing rust patina adds warmth and texture to your outdoor space. Stacked firewood inside creates pleasing visual rhythm.

This is storage that enhances your garden rather than detracting from it.

Suitable for Various Settings

Modern gardens love the industrial aesthetic. Contemporary patios benefit from the geometric forms. Even traditional spaces can incorporate a Mevus unit as an interesting contrast element.

Works brilliantly in residential gardens, restaurant terraces, pub gardens, and hospitality venues. Functional storage that doubles as visual interest.

Long-Term Value

Investment That Lasts

Quality outdoor products justify their cost through longevity. Your Mevus unit delivers decades of service without replacement or major maintenance.

Compare this against cheaper alternatives that need replacing every few years. The initial investment pays for itself over time through durability and performance.

Weather Any Storm

British weather tests outdoor products constantly. The Mevus handles everything our climate throws at it - heavy rain, frost, summer heat, autumn winds.

The corten steel actually strengthens through weathering. Your unit becomes more durable and protected as it ages. That's the beauty of weathering steel technology.
