About Outdoor Firewood Racks

Take your outdoor fire pit or fireplace from hot mess to just plain hot with our wood racks. These handy racks keep your firewood dry and organized. Think of it like a filing cabinet for your wood, but way better looking.

Why Do You Need a Firewood Rack?

If you've ever felt the frustration of trying to light wet wood, an outdoor firewood rack is for you. A rack keeps wood dry by elevating it. It lets air circulate so the wood dries faster and prevents it from absorbing moisture from the ground. The result? Dry wood that burns better and produces less smoke. The elevation and air circulation also stop rot, mold or insects from making a home in your firewood.

Stacking wood in a rack will satisfy your need for a tidy space. Instead of lying scattered around your yard, your wood will stay neat, boosting aesthetic appeal. An organized woodpile also means less chance of tripping.

What Should You Look for in an Outdoor Firewood Rack?

The ideal firewood rack combines functionality and style. It should complement the look of your outdoor space while handling the elements like a pro. Keep these factors in mind as you shop.

Material

Your firewood rack is like a house for your wood. Just like your own home, it should defend against rain, snow, sun and potential squirrel attacks. Plus, it has to carry the weight of all those logs. Popular material options include:

• Steel: This tough material is the workhorse of firewood racks. Steel is strong enough to handle the weight of a cord or two of wood. It also resists the elements, corrosion and rot.
• Wood: A wood rack to hold your wood? How meta! Opt for tougher species like cedar or redwood. Make sure you choose treated wood, or it can become a snack for termites faster than you can say "s'more." 
• Metal: Metal is a durable option that lasts and wins most battles against Mother Nature. Stick to powder-coated metal for the ultimate rust resistance. 

Size and Capacity

Firewood racks come in various sizes, from smaller options that hold a few days' worth of wood to large ones that can store a cord or more. Consider how much firewood you use and how much space you have available. If you enjoy regular bonfires, you'll need a mountain of wood at the ready. Get the size just right for your wood-burning habits.

Design and Stability

Outdoor wood racks should look good and perform even better. Sturdiness is the secret! Look for a solid base and a design that keeps your wood together even in strong winds. Elevation is another important feature. It should have at least a few inches of clearance off the ground to keep your firewood dry.
