subject: Why You Should Buy A Firewood Rack [print this page] Sitting by the open flame of a fire pit of fireplace is a great comfort for many homeowners. The mesmerizing dance of the flames is soothing and intriguing. And on a cool night, there is nothing better than getting cozy next to a warm fire pit or fireplace.
While spending time by the fire is always wonderful, having to find a place to store your firewood is not. Storing the fire logs for a wood burning fireplace is actually an annoyance for many homeowners. If you own a wood burning fire pit or fireplace, chances are that you buy your wood in bulk--unless you are lucky enough to have a forest in your backyard. And when buying wood in bulk it can be difficult to store if you do not have a firewood rack.
Having a firewood rack is a must for homeowners with a wood burning fire pit or fireplace. It is best to have a large and small rack. The large rack can hold large quantities of wood for storage, while the smaller rack can be placed on your back deck near your fire pit for easy access. Firewood racks are built to keep your firewood off of the ground, and to keep your firewood from getting damp.
Some people just leave piles of wood on the ground in their backyard. This is not only messy but it is a practice that puts the firewood at risk of becoming moist. Having a firewood rack will not only prevent this, but it will provide an attractive rack structure that will give your wood storage a clean and organize look.
Along with a firewood rack, it is a good idea to have a rack cover. The cover will help protect the rack and the firewood from the elements. Many firewood racks will come with a cover, but if yours does not it is recommended that you buy one to accompany your rack. If you do this make sure that the rack cover completely surrounds your structure.
Moisture is the natural enemy of firewood. To keep your firewood safe select a firewood rack system that suits your needs. Whether you buy a large or small rack, your firewood will always be ready to go when you want to throw a few logs on the fire.
