There is no getting away from it Autumn is here and that means the central heating has been turned back on and all the spiders are on the march. This then means that my wife starts screaming and the house ends up in a state of chaos. I collect the spiders and throw them outside only for them to return when my wife’s back it turned.
This also means that log fires are starting to crackle more often than not and houses are filling with smoke from green wood that hasn’t dried out properly. My Dad always taught me to have a few logs by the fire drying for the next night. Great advice I think and the spiders in the bark love the warmth too, until they get toasted. The smoke in the house is reduced and everyone is happy. Except the crispy spiders.
But as a long term storage solution piles of logs in your house isn’t the answer, apart from the spiders, the smell of drying wet wood doesn’t do much for the senses and can be hazardous to any little ones that may want to inspect the pile.
So you are left with the garden or yard to stock pile your wood and which helps to make your already tired and bedraggled garden look worse than before. A log store would solve the problem, keeping the wood pile tidy and covered from the rain.
Garden Buildings Direct has several log stores to assist in this garden storage solution and one in specific will help to keep your kindling drier than before. The BillyOh Large Log Store with Kindling Shelf has, as the title denotes, a shelf just under the removable lid to put your kindling on. The close proximity to the lid will help to reduce the effects of the weather and keep your fire starting wood ready to use, whilst the log store itself will keep your fire burning through the autumn and winter with it’s large storage capacity.
