5’11 x 2’8 Forest Pent Large Logstore (1.8m x 0.8m)

Overview

A large pent-roofed logstore from Forest, built at 1.8m by 0.8m to keep a generous supply of firewood dry and organised. Unlike the apex-roofed models in the range, this logstore has a single-slope roof, giving a lower profile that suits fitting neatly against a fence, wall or side passage.

Key Features

• Overlap timber board cladding
• Pent roof for a lower overall profile
• Open front for easy loading and access
• Pressure-treated timber construction
• Large capacity suited to regular wood burners

Roof Types

This logstore has a pent roof, sloping in a single direction rather than meeting at a central ridge. Rainwater runs off towards the lower side, and the lower profile overall suits a position tucked against a fence, wall or boundary line.

Dimensions

• Width: 5ft 11in / 1.8m approx.
• Depth: 2ft 8in / 0.8m
• Roof: Pent

Construction

Built using Forest’s overlap board cladding technique, with horizontal timber boards layered to shed water down the outside of a sturdy timber frame, sized for a generous log capacity.

Treatment & Guarantee

The timber is pressure-treated before assembly, helping it resist rot and decay when holding stacked logs outdoors through the changing seasons and weather.

Doors & Windows / Security

This logstore has an open front by design, rather than doors, so logs can be loaded and removed quickly without fumbling for a catch. It is a firewood store rather than a lockable security unit, and is not intended for valuables.

Assembly Information

Supplied as a flat-pack kit for straightforward DIY assembly, with full instructions included. The larger size benefits from a second pair of hands during the build, especially when fitting the roof panels.

Delivery Information

Delivered flat-packed via a standard UK mainland delivery service, with panels sized for manageable handling once unpacked and ready to build in position.

Optional Upgrades

If you prefer the classic shed-like look, the apex-roofed logstore in the same size range offers an alternative roofline with similar overall capacity, built using the same pressure-treated overlap cladding.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much wood will this hold? Being a large logstore, it holds a generous run of stacked logs, suited to households that burn wood regularly through the autumn and winter months.

Why choose a pent roof over apex? The pent roof keeps the overall height lower, which suits positioning the logstore against a fence or wall where height is restricted.

Can this be positioned under a window? Yes, the lower pent roofline generally makes it easier to fit this logstore below a window sill than an equivalent apex model.

Does the timber need further treatment? It is pressure-treated before despatch, though an occasional coat of timber treatment will help extend its working life.
