I built these recently and got them delivered so thought I would get a photo of them out of the workshop. My customer is going to give them a coat of timber treatment before moving them into place.

Yes they do don't they.
They are for storing logs in.

They look very good but is there enough ventilation?

There's a big hole in the front?
sorry I couldn't resist. Seriously from the pic I see a slatted base and the eaves look to be open as well.

They look very nice and as I am about to make a log store for under my kitchen window it has given me some ideas.
The log store I shall be making is just for logs that will go on the burner that week rather than drying out the logs so lack of ventilation is not an issue.

Then I retract my comment, they both look great

I really should have looked at the title of the thread before asking what they were for doh!

Yes they have got some ventilation but mostly they will house dried logs ready for the burner.

I'm not sure!
It was part of a long list of jobs he wanted doing - in the end I did it all on day rate, so that was ok.
