Impressive!

I just finished putting this together, and I am very impressed with the design and the quality; quality materials, quality fit, and quality finish. Sometimes you come across products that display pride in design and workmanship, and this is one of those products. Update: I've had this unit for over a year, and I am so impressed by the quality that I have bought and assembled a second one. The attention to details on the design are amazing. The cross arms are symmetrical, so they go together either way. There are only two bolts and they only differ by length. They send two wrenches to assemble it, but having a ratcheted socket wrench will make assembly faster.

The Woodhaven 8 Foot Firewood Log Rack

The firewood rack arrived in a couple of days of ordering from Amazon and was in great condition. All the parts were included as well as the easy to read directions and it was easy to assemble. I bought this rack as temporary storage near my house for the firewood that I burn throughout the winter. I draw the firewood from the six racks in my yard that have been drying for some time. I was able to stack nearly one half cord of firewood on this rack. It is sturdy and has everything I was looking for in a rack. I located this rack on a flat cement surface. All of the legs touched the ground and the rack did not wobble. I like the fact that the cover securely covers the top couple of layer's of wood and can be slid down as I remove wood. I also like the fact that the bottom layers are open to allow airflow (East/West) for further drying. This rack deserves the five stars I have given it. I know that I will be happy with this purchase. Great job everyone!!

This is by far the best made wood rack on the market

This is by far the best made wood rack on the market. I have ordered several of these over the years because I fell in love with this rack. One of the issues with drying out wood is many people will build a rack and put a tarp over all of it. That's a major issue...it give no opportunity for the wood to breath and dry out. It's quite the opposite with this rack. Plenty of opportunity up front for wood to dry, breath and wind to blow through therefore drying it our quickly. However, the top is just enough to cover the wood from the rain. What's even better is the cover actually drops down as the wood gets depleted. You would be crazy to look anywhere else, this is the best on the market!

Pain to undo and fix but glad I looked at it before I did the other ...

Needed a fire log rack for outside. I was a bit confused on putting it together and the first side I put together backwards. Pain to undo and fix but glad I looked at it before I did the other side. It is sturdy. Hold almost ½ cord of wood, depending on how bight the pieces are and they are stacked. Like the cover. We had our share of ice and snow. It allows the wood to breath but keeps one rack length of wood dry to pull out for use. The cover has velcro flaps to lift to remove wood so you don’t have to remove the cover. There are elastic ties that go over each bar to easily slide the cover down after removing wood.

Great firewood rack on the market.

Truly a very high quality firewood rack. I bought 2 of the 1/2 cord woodhavens. It assembles well, and the powder coating is superb. The holes are drilled perfectly and the hardware is provided is quality. The tarp has elastic rings so it fits down the side pole structures and it also has grommets so if you had very high wind condition you could lash it down. The sides of the rack do not bow out either which was a great surprise as I have a lot of heavy eucalyptus on the rack. Did I mention the rack is made in the USA? It's more expensive but it's pure quality. Evidently the boys in Kansas really know their stuff. I have attached a picture of the first rack i assembled and loaded up the split wood. I split my wood with splitting axes and mauls.

Sturdy, easy to assemble, and an all around good product.

I already had a 10' log rack as well as an 8' when I ordered the second 8'. The second one came in prior to the tornado that hit our area. Spared the house and the car but took down our oak and the neighbor's maple, both in our driveway. Since this log rack is fairly easy to assemble, it was set in place and ready for the firewood before clean up began. I have just ordered a third one to hopefully hold most of the rest of the cleanup. We have built two wooden log racks as we needed something right away, but past experience tells me that the sides on them will bow and the wood will rot eventually. Not so with these sturdy metal racks. The covers are nice, easy to put on, and look much better tan a ratty old tarp. These log racks are a bit on the pricey side as compared to building a wooden log rack, but they are well worth the money.

These USA-made products are well worth the price!

Purchased a pair of the 8' log racks for side by side storage 1 1/2 years ago. We first constructed a patio block pad over tamped crushed stone to provide a solid base for the racks and protect the wood from burrowing ground critters that infested our old wood rack. (I highly recommend this or concrete if your only available storage space is bare ground.) Both racks assembled flawlessly and were immediately loaded to the top with 16" cut wood. The covers fit perfectly over 16" and look great as you draw down your log supply. High winds are an issue at our location and both of these covers have stayed in place with no damage or fraying. The cover always keeps your next layer of wood dry and the exposed layers below always get enough air flow so damp moldy mold wood is not an issue. These racks are solidly designed for a full load and the powder coating shows no signs rust after 2 winters. These USA-made products are well worth the price!

You get what you pay for...

I'm new to the bulk firewood scene and, as such, this is my first experience with a log rack. Maybe I didn't look around hard enough but when shopping for a rack I found either (relatively) inexpensive models for around $65 or higher priced units like this Woodhaven. After reading many reviews of both, I went with the higher end on the principle of "you get what you pay for". I received this rack yesterday, assembled it in about fifteen minutes (or less) and had it filled with about 1/3 cord of firewood in another hour. Assembly was easy with all pieces fitting together properly. I needed a hammer to get two of the final bolts through their holes but I think this is probably normal when lining up a metal frame of this type. The unit is well designed, minimal but sturdy, and the hardware is high quality. The top of the side supports are not flexing outward under full load, which seems to be a common issue with the less expensive racks on Amazon (which appear to have a tubular construction, like a cheap swing set). I'm stacking mixed wood of between 15-18" and was able to fit about 1/3 cord and could have perhaps fit one more row on top but wanted to leave enough room for the cover to securely attach to the uprights. The only way that this rack would hold 1/2 of a true cord is if your logs are each 24" long (too big for most fireplaces and wood stoves). The cover is high quality and, again, the cheaper models appear to come with very thin and nearly useless covers. Those reviewers giving negative reviews due to the size of the cover don't seem to be aware that this is by design. The cover is only supposed to protect the top two or three rows of logs. This is plenty of coverage to keep the top dry for immediate burning while allowing air to circulate around the lower rows for seasoning and moisture control. Since I've only had the rack for a day, I'm giving it four stars. Once I see how the unit weathers a wet winter in the Pacific Northwest, I'll come back to update. UPDATED TO FIVE STARS. Great rack, would buy again and highly recommend.

Built tough with quality

I bought the 8 ft rack last year. This summer the rack was seriously bent up during construction at our house - run over by a large fork lift. I took the rack apart and using my large vice bent it back into shape and rebolted back together. NOT ONE WELD FAILED AND THE RACK IS LEVEL AND LOOKS GREAT. Thanks Woodhaven for a high quality USA product. Lastly I priced steel to make a duplicate rack, Woodhavens rack deliver to my house with a cover was less than the steel could be delivered to my house. Thanks again Woodhaven for saving me time and effort.

Best firewood rack by a long shot!!!

If you plan to use a firewood rack to stack and dry logs outside and you look for a stand that endures for years to come, there simply isn't a better (and more appealing) rack on the market. We own and use six firewood racks, of which three are of different brands (ShelterLogic / Landmann.) The `other-brand' racks do not match the Woodhaven model in terms of quality, robustness, ease of assembly, and stability. Not even close. Even if the Woodhaven racks are easily twice as expensive as other brands, the price premium is worth it (if the objective is to use the same rack for more than 2-3 years.) Our non-Woodhaven racks (ca. 2 years old) are all showing notable rust spots, while the Woodhaven racks look immaculate still. Also, the 14" width of the Woodhaven rack (versus ca. 15.5" on a ShelterLogic) allows for smaller logs, which comes in handy for (us) ham-handed forest chainsaw operators. We've positioned all our racks on the property on 2" x 8" x 16" concrete pavers (positioned level over a gravel / paving sand base). Take a few minutes to put the footing in place; it's time well-spent. The (pavers / gravel / paving sand-) structure is low-cost and avoids trouble (sinking / tipping firewood racks) down the road. This last observation clearly relates to all firewood racks (and may come across as commonsense to many). I'm adding the (footing) comment merely as I learned the hard way (a tipped-over rack) that establishing a solid base (weather, temperature, soil-proof) is essential, regardless of rack variety.
