DIY Firewood Shelter

Build your own firewood shelter to provide storage and easy access to your firewood with quality materials and expert advice from your local Co-op Home Centre.

Follow our comprehensive and easy-to-understand assembly instructions to ensure your project will be a success. Designed to accommodate two rows of 16-inch-long pieces of firewood, this shelter will help you keep the fire going the entire winter. Although assembly is relatively straightforward, due to the overall size of the structure and its components, this project is best tackled by at least two people. Once completed, all that is left to do is swing that axe and fill with firewood. Or, if you’re tuckered out from all that building, stop by your local Co-op Gas Bar/Convenience Store to pick up some bundles of bagged firewood.
