Unlike premade racks or shelving units, the Blitz Firewood Rack gives you the freedom to build a rack that's exactly the size you need. Simply add 2x4s (not included) and create any dimensions you choose up to 8 feet wide and 4 feet high.The Firewood Rack is easy to assemble. Only straight, 90-degree cuts are required--no miters or angles--and all the necessary hardware is included with the kit.
Once you've finished assembly, the Firewood Rack will measure 16 inches deep (40 centimeters), which is plenty of room to hold the wood you'll need to stay warm all winter long.
Durable, Versatile Design is Built to Expand
Built to last, the Firewood Rack is made of durable and maintenance-free structural resin and features all-weather components that resist wear and tear. It's also versatile enough to accommodate any design you can dream up. And by combining additional Firewood Rack kits, you can create a structure with multiple layers or sections, which will allow for separation of larger logs and kindling.
This kit is backed by a lifetime warranty.

I wanted an 8 ft. rack, and felt this would provide a sturdier result than just using unsupported uprights. The two kits were only $20, plus 8 pressure treated 2x4s. I did add 8 Simpson metal braces between the base and the uprights, which improved stability. The rack is very solid, and in my opinion, a good product. That being said, my favorite rack is the Woodhaven. I have several, varying from 5' to 12'. If money is no object, they are definitely more solid, and I highly recommend them. However, I need several more racks, and money is definitely a factor in my case. It took a little longer to assemble the 2x4 Basics rack, but it turned out fine. I have also used another plastic rack, but do feel this one is sturdier. For me the low price, relative ease of assembly, and very good result merited the four star rating. It actually took me nearly as long to assemble the Woodhavens, and considerably more $$. Maybe I should have titled this "2x4...

It's very easy and fairly economical to make the rack, but the big problem is that once it's loaded with firewood, the whole thing sags in the middle under the weight. It's the 2x4s that are sagging, not this product itself, but it's sold as a solution to make a rack of this size so I expected it to work. Now I have to come up with a solution to lift the middle of the rack and I'll probably have to remove all of the wood before I can modify the rack. I'd say this is a better solution for a 4 foot wide rack. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Very good solution, will require some re-engineering., By This review is from: 2x4basics 90144 Firewood Rack System, Black (Tools & Home Improvement) If you have *never* built anything before, this is a good starter project. Basically, you drive screws into predrilled holes and make cuts according to the instructions. Done and done. I made three of these a year ago. After a year, this is my report. 1) Filling these racks with a face cord of wood will sag the centers; 2x4s do not have the rigidity to withstand this weight for long. Be smart and place bricks or stone under the centers. 2) The weight of a face cord will force the sides apart, and the recommended screws won't cut it. The pressure will be lateral from the top, down, so buy a 5/16" long drill bit, four 6" 5/16" galvanized bolts, four 5/16" galvanized washers and nuts. Drive in the screws as directed, but then drill a center hole through the top joins, and bolt it so the extra bolt material faces inside the rack. This significantly strengthens it for a year. I did this for a repair and it's easily the best method for the money... Read more |
