Landmann 82434 8-Foot Firewood Log Rack with Fitted Cover Review

Landmann 82434 8-Foot Firewood Log Rack with Fitted Cover


Keep your firewood high and dry and store logs neatly outdoors with one of our firewood racks. Log racks keep insects and rodents out of your wood and protect your firewood from rot. Stacked firewood dries faster since the air can circulate around and between the pieces. Includes a fitted cover. Only requires a wrench to assemble.

We live in the North East and our old log rack cover only had Velcro closures. The wind and snow always got under the cover and blew it around a lot. Also, the material was a much thinner plastic. The previous one lasted only two seasons as the ice got the best of it and ripped the top part.

WE LOOKED AT SOMETHING MORE DURABLE. After 2 months owning the Landmann Heavy Durty Log Rack Cover, it really lives up to our expectations. We give it five stars because

- It provides easy access to the wood via three sturdy zippers
- The material is thick
- We don't think it will rip
- It makes our log rack look need and tidy
- It stays in place: we just had a big rain storm and it hardly moved - our wood is dry
- We expect it to last for a many seasons
- A great price for the value

I have to agree, that it did not immediate cover all the wood when we ordered our 1/2 cord, but we didn't mind - one row later it fit nicely. We tie the bottom Velcro strips around the legs of the log cover to give it extra support.

Hope this review was helpful.

P.S. Winter 2011/2012
The first one held up so well in that really harsh winter of 2010/2011 that we decided to buy another one (it's black again but now has the logo "Landman" stamped on it - see comments). We also bought another 8'x8' firewood rack which included a cover - however, that particular cover is NOT of THIS quality, it's simply flimsy plastic and didn't last a month. Hence we bought this one again. We have now replaced covers for all of our three log racks with this heavy duty cover and have no qualms about it!
