Customer Reviews

Simple, sturdy and easy to use
I've built three racks with this product, and am in the process of building 5 more. With six Wolmanized (chemically treated to resist rot and insects) 2x4's (about $9), a few lag bolts ($6), a hand saw and an electric drill, you can create a rack that will take years of abuse and hold an amazing amount of firewood. Time to build a rack...less than 30 minutes!

To Do It Right
These brackets are a good idea for stacking fire wood. You need OVERSIZE 2x4's for a good fit and stability.
Oversize lumber is hard to get, Home Depot and other lumber outlets here do not have oversize lumber.
Consequently, I had to shim and put spacers in the gaps that result in using regular 2x4's. I also used lag bolts throughout and also bolted cross pieces on the uprights that hold the wood. This gives better stability and strength. Since my stack was over 7 feet long, I put a couple of 3 inck cement blocks under the runners to support the weight of the wood.

I am pleased with the final result, but disappointed that the project was so much work - due in part to brackets that did not fit my lumber well.

Bracket are OK but need help .. more like assembly helpers
I like these brackets but they are in principal just assembly helpers. I made a scaffold using them and for this purpose they worked well for me. By using the brackets I will be able to take apart the scaffold and re-assemble it easily. I used Kreg wood screws to assemble and added robust cross bracing and OSB decking so the stability issue was resolved. Without cross bracing the stability of the assembly was poor. Also the holding power of the Kreg screws and the easy disassembly they make possible are the key factor in making my project possible. If all you need is a static assembly to hold firewood then spend the money on treated 4 by 4's, 2X6's and bolts and forget the brackets.
