In this video you can follow along as I build a DIY log store from scratch. The video is step by step, meaning you should be able to follow along and build your own log store.
There are also a couple of technical drawings in the video for the main frames.
The process is very simple, and the measurements ensure that there is very little waste. This means you only pay for the wood you need for the project. Which is significantly cheaper than buying one from a store.
Materials needed for DIY log store:
• 5 lengths sawn treated timber - 75 x 47mm - 3600mm (C16 eased edge)
• 12 lengths sawn treated timber - 100 x 20mm - 3600mm
• 1 length treated timber batten - 50 x 25mm - 3600mm
• 0.5 sheets Hardwood faced plywood - 610 x 2440mm
• Roll of roof felt
• 1 tin of Blackjack roof felt adhesive
• Box of 100 - 100mm multi-purpose screws
• Box of 100 - 50mm green decking screws
• Box of heavy duty 10mm staples
Tools required:
• Chop saw - If you don’t have a chop saw cuts can be done by hand but it will take longer
• Cordless drill/driver
• Tape measure
• Pencil
• Square
• Bevel
• Staple gun
• Large stiff paint brush
I honestly believe that anyone, with even a basic knowledge of DIY could build this. Just follow the simple steps outlined in the video to build your very own, home-made wood store.

Best I’ve seen. Thanks! Think I’ll amend your design slightly to have two shelves.

Great video, for the roof would it be cheaper to use the same timber (no gaps) and then felt or would there be little difference

@thediyfix 3 дня назад

Off the top of my head im not 100% sure, but yeah it probably would be a little cheaper

@elgranviaje7187 7 месяцев назад

Great video! Really well explained and the diagrams are easy to follow - just one question - did you pre drill the holes for the frame before screwing?

@thediyfix 7 месяцев назад

It was built last year so not 100% if I did. With that said, it is always a good idea to predrill, as it will avoid splitting the wood and it also makes it easier to drive your screws in

@Luvlux-xe8my 2 месяца назад

I'm a full on amateur diyer when it comes to woodwork but I've managed to put the frame together, albeit not as big as yours, do I need to screw in the battens to clad or can I just nail them to the frame?

@thediyfix 2 месяца назад

Personally I would nail them as it will give a better fixing

@francisforshaw1659 Год назад

Thank you for doing this . Could you tell me how to calculate and cut my angles without one of the mitre saws you have. I only have a hand saw. Thanks.

@thediyfix Год назад

Hi francis, you could cut two peices of timber at just over 1200mm and two peices at exactly 500mm. Then use the 500's to space the two longer peices. Ensure the bottoms are even. You could lie them on the floor and butt them up to a flat surface like a wall. Then with these timbers evenly spaced at 500mm mark one timber at 1200 and the other at 1100 and put a straight edge accoss them and draw the angle on. Following this, cut them and then use these peices to mark all your other timbers. This way they will all be identical.

@@thediyfix Thank you very much. That is great.

Could you tell me how many pieces of wood you will need for this

@thediyfix Год назад

Hi Neal, there is a full list of materials in the description. You can also see them here: thediyfix.com/diy-log-store/

Will the ends of the wood not rot?

@thediyfix 8 месяцев назад

Hi Michael, we used this log store all last winter and there was zero issue with rot, mould, or even damp wood. We did cover with a small piece of tarp to avoid wood getting wet from rain, but my understanding is the wood needs to breathe. Even when it did get a little wet, it was just on the surface and would quickly dry (even in cold weather). The wood we buy has been stored and dried for over a year. For rot to form, moisture content throughout the wood needs to be over a certain percentage. This would take a prolonged period of saturation, and you would also need rot spores to be present on the wood.

@@thediyfix Maybe he is suggesting that the cut ends of the frame might rot if exposed to the floor as the end grain will suck up moisture. It would probably last a bit longer if the long grain was down to the floor.
