Fireplace owners are faced with a choice: should they buy a firewood stand or not? If so, which firebox should you choose? What is the difference between them and why some are many times more expensive than others, and some can generally be made by ourselves?
What could be more pleasant than a winter evening by the fireplace? The living flame gives natural warmth, and the logs crackle softly, adding coziness and creating a unique atmosphere. The only problem is that you have to run outside to get firewood. And then they still have to dry for a while. However, this is not required if you decide to buy a wood stand or make one yourself. Then you will always have a supply at hand, which is enough for at least one cold evening.
Many models of fireplaces are equipped with special niches for storing firewood. If such is not provided, and the interior features do not allow storing firewood in the room, then a stand for them will be the best solution.
Multifunctional firewood stands not only reliably save firewood or decorate the interior, but are also used to carry and transport logs.
Let's get acquainted with interesting design solutions that are suitable for any interior.
Types of wood stands
The firebox, as a place for storing and storing firewood, was invented a long time ago. There are four sub-types of firewood stands conventionally:
- street,
- stationary,
- room,
- portable.
- This is usually a small container with holes for blowing the logs so that they dry faster.
Stationary firewood stand usually installed next to the fireplace. It can look like a lower shelf in which firewood is stored, or occupy niches in the wall on both sides of the fireplace.
Indoor firewood stand installed directly in the room. In it, you can store and additionally dry several logs, which will then go to the first kindling.
Portable firebox has the shape of a basket with handles, it is taken with them to the house or when it is necessary to bring some of the logs from the "street warehouse".
Which firewood stand to choose?
Before you go to the store to buy, decide what exactly you need this or that firebox for. If it should become a beautiful addition to the fireplace, a small shelf for drying firewood, then your choice is a stationary firebox. For those planning to carry firewood from the street, portable firewood stands are suitable. And finally, if the firebox, in your understanding, should become an effective addition to the interior, then you should purchase an ordinary room woodpile.
In order for the firewood stand to fit into the overall concept, it should be selected depending on the style of the room. So, if the interior is dominated by "wooden" motives, it is decorated in a "country" style, etc., the best choice would be a wood firebox or its wicker counterpart. For lovers of the classics or artsy aristocracy, forged firewood boxes with smooth and curved legs are suitable. The "modern" style assumes the use of laconic stands made of metal profiles, chrome-plated parts and generally the shine of metal in any of its manifestations.
Recognized leaders in the production of fireplace accessories are companies such as Heibi, Schutt, Ragar, Focus, Kratki, Tula Kovka, etc.
Wrought iron stands and wood grates
Wood stands made of cast iron or brass, ideal for open fireplaces. Artistic welding and forging is a professional craft available to the owners of blacksmiths. Such coasters are elegant, durable and reliable, they can decorate the fireplace space for many years.
Disadvantages of forged stands are heavy weight and high price. The first problem is eliminated by making lightweight forms, for example, with a grid bottom instead of a solid one. True, through such a bottom all the dust and remnants of bark from the logs fall off. If you want to avoid this, choose models with a solid bottom.
But there is no escape from the high price - manual labor and expensive materials are not cheap.
Tin fire boxes
Vintage firewood bucketsagain imperceptibly became fashionable. In fact, any cylindrical container with a carrying handle can act in their role. You can either use an old bucket left over from time immemorial, or decorate it for a personal touch.
You can find in the attic or local flea market brass, copper or tin buckets... Pay attention to their useful volume, perhaps only a couple of logs will fit in them, then it is better or smaller to prick them, or choose a larger bucket.
Artistic forging and original images are also used by craftsmen in the manufacture of firewood buckets. Despite the "author's" intervention, such specimens are much cheaper than forged stands and lattices.
Finally, the simplest option is galvanized troughs or bucketsthat can be found at any hardware store. Yes, they are very simple in appearance, but they leave room for creativity. Ask what can be done with the bucket? We answer:
- paint in one or more colors;
- master the technique of decoupage;
- apply hand-painted;
- age the surface or apply a shabby chic style.
Wooden coasters
One of the popular solutions are wooden coasters for firewood. Wood of absolutely any species can be used as a starting material. The only requirement is to place such stands at a considerable distance from the source of an open flame, do not allow sparks to hit.
A simple and effective solution will be the usual fruit box or vegetables... If you decorate it appropriately and screw on the wheels, you will get a convenient and practical wood cart.
Any old wooden things are used as a stand for firewood - kegs, sauna beaters, sleigh etc. A very interesting solution is this - to make a stand for firewood from the logs themselves.
Homemade fireboxes
If you have imagination, almost any material or object can act as a basis for a stand or grate for firewood. For example, if you take willow twigs or a vine, you can weave a simple basketwhere firewood will be stored. For lovers of exotic, rattan or abacus are suitable, they make strong and light firewood boxes.
A firebox is an accessory designed for storing firewood. It is needed if there is no special niche in the stove or fireplace.
