Metal Firewood Rack – Store Firewood Dry, Tidy, and Stylishly
Well-stored firewood needs three things: air circulation from all sides, distance from ground moisture, and a permanent place. This is exactly what Kirchberger Metall firewood racks are designed for – durable wood storage made of weather-resistant Corten steel or powder-coated steel, manufactured in Germany.
Why a Metal Firewood Rack?
The open design allows air to circulate freely around the logs. This ensures that the wood dries evenly and reaches the residual moisture content of under 20 percent recommended for clean combustion. The distance from the ground protects against rising moisture, and the stable steel frame keeps even large quantities of wood securely in shape – transforming a loose pile into a tidy, ready-to-use stack.
Corten Steel: Weather-resistant with a Noble Rust Patina
Corten steel forms its characteristic rusty brown patina in the air within a few weeks. This protective layer permanently prevents through-rusting – a Corten steel wood storage unit can therefore stand outdoors unprotected in the garden or on the terrace all year round. The warm, noble rust look harmonizes perfectly with wood, greenery, and modern garden architecture.
Powder-Coated Steel for Indoor Use
For placement directly next to the fireplace or stove, we also offer the FRAME model in powder-coated steel in deep black. The coating is scratch-resistant and easy to clean – ideal for living spaces where the wood stack itself becomes a furnishing element.
The Right Size and Location
Our wood storage solutions cover every need: from the compact rack with 70 cm width to slender meter-long models and large formats of 150 cm wide and 180 cm high. For installation, a location that is as sunny and well-ventilated as possible is recommended. During the first few weeks of patina formation, Corten steel can release some rust water when it rains – a base can help on light-colored terrace tiles initially.
