We want rain-proof storage for our firewood without having to build one ourselves. Does anyone know where we can get some kind of large rainproof log storage box or container that can be delivered to our garden?
Thanks

I am not in Spain, but even where I am, a very rainy region of NW USA; wood is not stored in a box or container, for it to season its good for the wood to have access to air. Most wood storage solutions have a top covering but leave the sides mostly exposed. This gives the best balance between helping the wood to season and protecting it from further moisture. All the off the shelf solutions here consist of something on the bottom to keep the wood off the ground and sides to keep the wood in place, and then a canvas or tarp for the top. (four, eight foot lengths of 4x2 [or its metric equivalent] can be used to make something yourself fairly quickly)

There are some beautiful wood stacks in Norwegian Wood by Lars Mytting. As Kimil says you need to maintain an airflow through the wood pile to prevent rot. I just tie a sheet of corrugated iron on top.

Hi
Try having a look on Amazon ,I believe they deliver to Spain ,they show several options
You could also try Leroy Merlin's I'm sure they would something that would suit in stock.
Another option could be to have a look in the Portugal on the N125 , just over the border there are numerous stores by the road selling chimera's BBQ's etc they mite have something that catches your eye
Just out on interest have you found a supplier for your firewood ?

Thanks to everyone for your advice. We found something yesterday in Leroy Merlin in Portugal. Yippee!

Yes, we got our first supply - currently covered by a tarpaulin - from the 2 oldest men working in Ayamonte! They delivered and borrowed it to our storage area. They are up on the hill in Calle Alta - in the oneway section - beside the children 'adventure park and old pool' near the "family" roundabout above Lidl. We drove around until we saw piles of firewood then went in and asked them. Not cheap but what we needed at the time.

Do you have a supplier? If so, where are they and what's the price like?

Thanks again
