ShelterLogic12' Adjustable Heavy Duty Outdoor Firewood Rack with Steel Frame Construction and Water-Resistant Cover

First off, the price for this unit, for the size, is great. Unfortunately, it's clearly lacking in some design thinking.The Good:- It's easy to put together. Minus the "customization" I had to do (below), the unit can be put together in under 15 minutes. One person can do it, but two would make it easier.- It seems pretty strong. Most of my wood has at least a season of drying under it, and the rack is holding it pretty well. The ends do bow out from the weight up top, but it's holding.The Not So Good:- The tubing is round. The paint is slippery. Couple that with logs that are barely long enough to span the bottom supports and I had to put 2x4s along the bottom for the first row, because at 15.5inches wide, most of my logs just barely fit across and even the slightest bump, they slipped down and I lost my first row. Most American fireplaces aren't that big. Mine is bigger than most, and wood that is cut at 16" is pretty standard, which leaves no room for movement if the bottom logs shift at all.- The supports along the bottom that keep the two horizontal base bars in place be doubled. There should be two on each side because what happens, is the horizontal supports "move" a lot even when you tighten up everything (On that note, I never could completely tighten the support nuts; not even close. I figured after a certain amount of tightening, I was just denting the metal and stopped). I ended up using braided wire in the middle of each space, looped around the horizontal support bars, to keep them from "V" out and my logs falling in.Again, great price, but the design is really bad.

wish I had known this was in existence 10 years ago.... I would have bought two! I just spent several grand on a trex porch this past spring, and where we normally stack our wood on the old crappy porch is where we needed to put the wood for this winter. I was determined to find something that wouldn't destroy my new porch and there it was!!! The thing I love about this is that you can get any size that you need. I had a space right between two windows for this big one and I think I have a half of a cord on it. I can blow the crumbs out from underneath it as well, since it has a raised bottom.

I bought the 12 footer.Loaded up by my math itll hold around 0.70 cords of wood.It was a breeze to assemble, i live in a village so just built it in the road, youll need lota of room to put it together and two people if you intend to move it.This is the kinda thing you wanna put on a solid suface, its not gonna be stable on ground.Unlike other people i have a large wood stove to the bottom bars being too close or too far away wasnt an issue for me. Seema likenit would be solved easy by just cutting a few peices extra long.I have 4 wood racks and this shelterlogic one is my favorite and it fits the most wood to boot.My only con is the included tarp. Its a joke. It doesnt fit at all. Of course if your serious about heating you arent counting on the tarp anyway.

Assembly is easy, but I have 2 main issues with this firewood rack:The first issue is that the rack is a little too wide. I bought two of these last season, but didn't buy a lot of firewood. This season, I bought a couple cords and I found that most of the logs are just wide enough to sit on the rack if placed perfectly. The trouble is that since the rack is rounded, if a log of that length is shifted a bit the end will slip down. To deal with this, you end up looking for the slightly longer logs to fill the bottom and ends of the rack. This is annoying and a waste of time when you are trying to stack a lot of wood.The second issue is that the included tarps are a little shorter than you would like them to be for this rack. You can sort of get it on there covering the wood, but if the top of your stack isn't perfectly even the ends will just barely reach. In some cases, you can't even fasten all the velcro strips. That makes it less secure and prone to blowing off in moderate wind. I think that I will end up getting another tarp to cover the racks, and try to repurpose the included tarp for something else.Given those issues, I would probably steer clear of this rack if I had to make the choice again.

This firewood storage rack is stout. Very sturdy. Unlike a lot of others, this one comes with a cover. The others charge extra and are more $ to begin with. As other reviewers mentioned, the open spacing of the bottom rails means that your bottom row needs to be a bit on the long side. I’m sure I can find enough pieces over 16 inches for the bottom row- any less and you risk collapse. I would say this is a design flaw; but one pretty easily overcome... A lot of wood stoves require 15” or less wood so this could pose a challenge for some. My only other complaint is that I was missing a nut from the hardware pack. This is a simple enough hardware pack that there’s really no excuse for a missing piece. Luckily, I had an extra 5/16 nut in my miscellaneous hardware. If you’re looking to tidy up your firewood pile, I would recommend this one...

The photos show the storage set up on a deck for a reason - once in less solid ground - such as grass - the steel legs turn in. We had to put boards under each section to support the legs and we winched the legs so they could not turn. Once that was done they worked, but had we not done that, the legs would have caved and our wood would have been in the ground.

We have three of these. Our biggest gripe is that the bottom two bars separate during use and the bottom logs fall through. Next summer I’ll get some wire and twist the two bottom bars together. Also, they do not stay sturdy if you move them at all. I really should have just bought a few 2 x 4s and made some, but the cover it comes with has more curb appeal than a tarp.

Liked the stand at first. Until we got a heavy rain and the legs dug into the soft dirt and toppled over 1/3 cord of wood!The stand is sturdy although it has some design flaws. The stand is 16” wide which doesn’t hold the average cut of wood so you need to put a base down before stacking the wood.

Habe mir das ShelterLogic Kaminholzregal mit einer Länge von 3,7 m als metallene Alternative zu diversen Holz-Konstruktionen gekauft, die nach einigen Jahren häßlich werden. Material und Passgenauigkeit der Teile ist in Ordnung, Pulverbeschichtung macht einen guten Eindruck, der Aufbau ist in 15 min gut zu machen. Alles in allem also eine offensichtlich durchdachte Lösung mit gutem Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.Der Haken ist allerdings, dass auf dem Gestell nur Brennholzscheite mit einer Länge von > 40 cm gestapelt werden können, da der Traversenabstand rd. 40 cm beträgt. Für Scheite mit rd. 33 cm Länge (in meinen Kamin passen keine längeren rein) ist das Regal ungeeignet, da sie zwischen den Rundstahltraversen durchfallen. Ich habe das Regal jetzt umgebaut, würde diese Lösung aber nicht weiterempfehlen.Für Leute mit 40 cm - Scheiten aber eine klare Empfehlung!

It's sturdy, but haven't loaded it up yet, if your wood is 14 inches you'll need to have something 16 inch or more to put on the bars. You also need to keep it out of the rain or the cover will collect water unless it's fully stacked.
