As consumer interest in log burners soars, Forest Garden – the UK’s largest manufacturer and distributor of wooden garden products – has unveiled its range of log stores.
Data from Pinterest shows searches for ‘log burner fireplaces’ have increased 70 per cent in the last month, indicating homeowners are looking to invest in cost-effective heating solutions.
And when they do, they’re going to need somewhere to store logs and protect them from the elements.
Forest Garden has a six-strong range of stores designed to keep logs sheltered and well-ventilated. What’s more, they look pretty good while doing so.
Jenny Davis, Head of Marketing for Forest Garden, said: “Dry logs are important for anyone with an open fire or wood burning stove. Using wet or unseasoned logs with a high moisture content will create smoke instead of heat.
“These log stores are designed to keep your logs sheltered, aired and off the ground so they will be in perfect condition when needed.”
The collection has something for all gardens and budgets.
The Compact Pent Log Store, which is available for just £129.99, has a small footprint, meaning it is perfect for tucking into tiny spaces. The Large Apex Wall Log Store, which commands attention with its barn-inspired overhanging roof, is big enough to store enough wood to see homeowners through the winter months.
For those who want to combine their log storage with other essentials, Forest Garden’s Log and Tool Store comes with a hinged door behind which small garden essentials can be stored.
Jenny added: “A well-chosen log store is more than just a storage solution, it’s an essential for ensuring a cosy home in the winter months. Consider size, ventilation, and accessibility when selecting the perfect log store to keep your firewood dry and ready for use.”
Forest Garden’s range of log stores are available now, with prices starting from £129.99.
