A firewood rack is an important accessory for everyone who likes to have fires, both in their home fireplace and in their backyard fire pit. Firewood racks can be quite elaborate and be full of many exciting features that will dazzle you. However, if you just want an easy way to keep your firewood organized and off the ground, you can choose to build your own firewood rack in four simple steps.
1. Decide on the best location for your rack. Ideally it will be flat, provide sufficient space for the amount of wood you want to store, and close enough to your fireplace or fire pit that it will be conveniently located.
2. Set the cinder blocks on the ground and place two 4x4 posts into the blocks, maintaining a slight two to three inch gap between the blocks. Make sure both the blocks and the posts are as close to level as you can possibly get them.
3. Drive one metal fencing post into the ground at each end of the firewood rack and then drive one more into the center. The best tools for driving in the metal stake are a sledge hammer or a post driver. Typically, the stake should be driven between 8 to 10 inches into the ground.
4. Finish off your rack by stacking two cords of wood, ready for burning.
And there you have it! A great do-it-yourself project with the end result of creating a place for you to store your firewood.
