The Indoor Log Rack and the Outdoor Woodhaven Firewood Rack

Nothing beats the luxury of curling up in front of the fireplace, or the fun to be had living it up outside next to a healthy campfire. Either way, a Woodhaven firewood rack in conjunction with an indoor log rack facilitates the good times by storing your wood in the most convenient and efficient manner possible. Know how an indoor firewood rack differs from the outdoor variety, and why it's important in owning both.
What they are made from:
Indoor: Although equally adroit at storing heavy and rough pieces of wood, the indoor log rack is able to be made out of more luxurious materials that would not survive well if exposed to the harsh outdoor elements, but hold up fine in the comfort of a living room. These materials include such things as stainless steel, and even leather handles.
Outdoor: The Woodhaven firewood rack is constructed from heavy duty powder coated steel and comes with a canvas, waterproof cover. This makes it near invincible to moisture, snow, sunlight and more.
How big they are:
Indoor: An indoor log rack is designed to be big enough to carry something like 10-30 pieces of wood, but small enough to look attractive set next to the fireplace or small enough to carry by hand. It's nice to have an indoor log rack to keep logs at hand so that you don't have to run out in the cold each time the fire dwindles.
Outdoor: Outside log racks will hold the bulk of your wood for the season. A Woodhaven firewood rack can hold anywhere from 1/8 to 3/4 of a cord of firewood. This makes them great for garages, sheds or the side of your home, but can you imagine something of that size in your foyer? Hence the convenience of the indoor rack.
How they look:
Indoor: Also because they're kept inside, the indoor log racks can be significantly more elaborate in design their outdoor peers. Oftentimes, you can find log racks in pleasing round shapes, or with carved designs or extra accoutrements, like fireplace pokers and brushes.
Outdoor: By contrast, the Woodhaven firewood rack is plain and boring, but necessarily so. What the outdoor log rack lacks in frills and style it makes up for in durability to be able to withstand all types of weather, including most importantly the winter, when your fireplace will likely be getting the most use anyway.
The bottom line:
Because of space and matters of logic and convenience, it works best to have both an indoor and an outdoor log rack. Most companies that sell firewood will sell it in such a quantity that you will need somewhere bigger than your indoor log rack in which to store it. This where the Woodhaven firewood rack is important. Many people who come upon such a large quantity of wood will mistakenly stack it in a pile on the ground. This leads to moisture, mold and infestation. Keep it high and dry on a Woodhaven rack; you'll also more than likely have enough room to store all the wood you'll need for the entire winter. Then, when it's time to heat up the scene, bring in wood to fill up your indoor firewood rack, and this should last you a few hours before you have to go outside and get more.
