How to choose the right wooden storage size
Tool store or log store
Tool stores have doors and shelves to keep tools dry and secure. Log stores are open fronted or slatted, so air can flow through and season the wood.
Tall or low
Tall stores take long handled tools such as rakes and spades. Low stores sit under windows and can double as a potting table or bench.
Shiplap or overlap
Shiplap cladding fits tightly and sheds rain better, while overlap is the budget option. Pressure treated timber lasts longer without yearly treatment.
Stand it on a firm base
Raise wooden storage off the ground on slabs or bearers so the base stays dry, and fix tall stores to a wall or fence for stability.
Wooden Garden Storage size FAQs
What is the difference between a tool store and a log store?
A tool store has closed sides and doors to keep tools dry and secure. A log store is open or slatted so air can circulate and dry the logs.
Do wooden storage units need treating?
Pressure treated stores need little upkeep, though a coat of preserver every few years helps. Dip treated timber should be treated every year to keep it weatherproof.
How big a log store do I need?
A 4′ x 2′ log store holds enough logs for regular weekend fires. If a wood burner is your main heating, look at 6′ x 3′ and larger so you can store a full season’s supply.
Can wooden storage go against the house?
Yes, many stores are designed to sit against a wall. Leave a small gap for air to circulate and keep the base off the ground to prevent damp.
