Grey log store, extra wide (260 cm) – firewood as a design feature

A grey log store as a design feature – extra wide and deliberately calm

A log store can play one of two roles in a garden: purely practical furniture, or a considered design feature. This extra wide grey log store takes on both. With a width of 260 cm it offers serious volume for the firewood supply – and at the same time the pale, straight-lined frame presents the stacked logs so well that the store becomes a deliberately composed element in the garden: functional and visually refined in equal measure.

260 × 40 × 180 cm: proportions that simply work

The dimensions are chosen for everyday use. The width of 260 cm takes up a generous volume without letting log piles wander across the garden. A depth of 40 cm is enough for neat stacking, yet claims no more ground than necessary. And at 180 cm high, the store creates a clear, well-organised surface that keeps the wood structured and easy to reach – every row sits at a comfortable height, so nobody has to crouch or climb for the evening's logs. The result is a firewood store that holds a full season's supply on a footprint most gardens can spare without a second thought.

Light grey: a friendly stage for the firewood

Where dark stores frame the firewood with strong contrast, the light grey does something quieter: it lets the warm brown tones of the split logs glow, while the frame itself recedes politely between pale render, paving and planting. The filled front becomes a living, natural wall – and it changes character with every restocking and every season, from the tightly packed rows of autumn to the airy gaps of late winter. Few garden elements offer this quiet, slow rhythm – a log store in grey simply frames it.

HPL by Trespa: light grey that stays light grey

Pale colours are the hardest test for any outdoor material – a yellowed or faded surface would show here immediately. That is why this log store is made from HPL (high-pressure laminate) by Trespa: UV-resistant, frost-proof and impervious to rain. The light grey remains colour-stable year after year, rain washes dirt off the surface, and painting or impregnating is never required – the material is engineered for a service life of around 50 years. The logs weather and burn; the frame does not.

From obligation to solution

Storing firewood is, at heart, an obligation. Done like this, it becomes a solution that works in daily life and visibly upgrades its corner of the garden, because order and appearance have been thought through together. Every DESIGA log store is planned in width, depth and height to match your firewood consumption and the available space – as a slim band along a wall, a freestanding element in the open, or a wide format like the one shown here, which can double as a gentle screen towards a neighbouring plot or a less attractive corner. A look through our log store range shows how varied those answers can be. Nothing about the format is arbitrary; it follows how much you burn and where the store has to fit.

And light grey is only one of over 250 HPL colours and décors, spanning white, anthracite and wood-look finishes. Free colour samples are sent to your home in advance, so you can hold the tone against façade, paving and planting and judge it in real daylight before you commit.
