What a fantastic looking log rack!

Basically, since we just bought a house I didn't want to spend the money on an expensive log rack, and this turned out to the be the perfect thing for storing the wood that I am splitting. So many people toss good burnable wood away because they don't want to pay tree service professionals extra to cut the wood down to fireplace size.

I built this log rack with pressurized wood from Lowe's. The base is made with 8' 2x4's, the verticals are made with 4' 2x4's, and the width is made with 2' 2x4's which totals a half cord of wood (8' x 4' x 4'). It works great. I put deck screws in the pre-drilled bracket holes for added stability.

I also put a piece of plywood on top, and since it was angled (I didn't care about cutting the vertical pieces to size initially, so I just trimmed them up afterwards), I put shingles on it, and now I have a gorgeous looking covered log rack. I will probably buy a second bracket kit next spring once I split the rest of the wood and want to store a whole cord for next winter.

I would advise you to try and find some cinderblocks to put the rack up on, so air can circulate around the bottom of the wood and will dry it out even faster.

All in all I would highly recommend this log rack kit regardless of your experience with wood-working in the past!

I assembled mine using pressurized wood and exterior screws. The base is made with 8' 2x4's and one cross 2x4 added to the center of the base for stiffing. The verticals are 4' 2x4's. It works great.

Works as advertised. Got a 10 x 11.5 heavy duty tarp from Home Depot, some pressure treated 2 x 4's a couple of bungees, and in no time I had a log rack measuring 9.5' long by 4' high. I used a couple of screws to maintain width, but that was not necessary. These brackets are plenty strong, and should last a long time.

Honest reviews on Rutland Inc Log Rack-bracket Kit 30360r

I have been using these for several years to build stands to season firewood. I use two lengths of 8 foot 2x4's spliced together with Simpson strong ties to make each stand about 16' long and use 6' uprights at each end. I elevate the entire setup on surplus masonry blocks to keep it about 1' off the ground and support about every 2'. So far the 2x4 have not rotted as they did when I first had them set directly on the ground. The only other improvement I will make is to put a rope across the top of my uprights to keep them from splaying outward under the force of the stack of wood. Each setup holds well over a cord of wood if cut in 18" lengths.

Brackets worked as promised -easy to understand and install. I made a 16-ft. long log rack from treated two by fours, supported every five feet with bricks. Inexpensive, easy and durable.
