In models designed as fireplace wood sheds, logs can be neatly stacked.
They can be open or closed designs:
Open wood storage: Allows the wood to breathe, resulting in faster drying.
Enclosed woodshed: Protects wood from dust and moisture.
3. Size and Capacity
Small indoor models: 30-50 cm width, 40-60 cm height
Large outdoor or fireplace woodpiles: 80–120 cm width, 100 cm and above height.
The capacity is usually designed to meet the firewood needs for a few days or weeks .

Usage Tips
Place the wood on soil or concrete ; direct contact with the ground will cause it to become damp.
Stack the logs vertically or diagonally to allow for air circulation.
For outdoor use, choose stainless steel or painted models for longer durability.
