Building a Bespoke Log Store

I had a phone call the other day from a customer who loved our 4ft High Wootton log store but had the small issue that where they wanted to locate it was only 3ft wide. Assuring the customer that this was not an issue, given a little time and a cup of tea, the workshop could easily alter the log store to this bespoke size for her garden.

This isn't the first time that Dorset Log Stores have altered a log store to suit a customers wishes, who needed it to fit into a particularly small space, or had dreamt of something larger than our normal sizes. Everything that Dorset Log Stores produces, be it log store, garden store or wheelie bin and recycling store, are all made right here by our own local craftsmen. Due to this, creating bespoke log stores is a simple process, as we can start from the very first cut in the very first board, to make sure that it is completely correct to the customers desires. 

In this weeks Dorset Log Stores Blog, I thought that I would share some photos of the bespoke log stores that we have done over the last month, from the tall and thin, to wide and high.

This is a 3ft wide Okeford Log Store with a timber roof, scaled down in size from the standard 4ft option to fit into a particularly tight space. While being 3ft wide, it is still just other 6ft in height and will hold plenty of logs for those cold winter nights. 

Shown above is a 6ft wide Melbury Log Store. While not a custom size, a central partition was requested creating two 3ft sections with a shelf on one side for kindling. What I particularly like about this one, is the two arches, giving the front of the log store a graceful curve.

In this photo is a custom sized 9ft wide Okeford Log Store with a tiled roof. The central partition allows the splitting of seasoned and new logs so your fire burns dry logs for maximum warmth. The lovely arch frames of the roof bar and the slate effect tiled roof, will really make this log store a central feature in the garden. 

At Dorset Log Stores everything is built by our own talented workshop team (roughly 50 metres from where I'm sitting right now actually) so if your looking for a log store that is that little bit bigger, that little bit smaller or just thinner to fit in the perfect spot in your garden leave a comment below or give us a call on 01300 345916.
