Operating Instructions

The Generic1 Firewood Log Rack is designed to keep your firewood neatly stacked, dry, and easily accessible.

Loading Firewood:

1. Stacking: Begin by stacking logs from the bottom up, ensuring they are stable and interlocked to prevent collapse.
2. Capacity: The rack has a capacity of up to 1.66 m³ (approximately 661 lbs). Do not exceed this weight limit.
3. Air Circulation: The design keeps wood 2.75 inches off the ground, allowing air to circulate underneath and promote drying. Ensure logs are not packed too tightly to maintain airflow.
4. Roof Protection: The inclining roof provides protection from rain and snow, helping to keep your firewood dry.

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Tighten any loose hardware as needed.
• Cleaning: Wipe down the frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder coat finish.
• Damage Check: Inspect the frame for any signs of rust, dents, or structural damage. Address any issues promptly to maintain the rack's integrity and longevity.
