I have used the EZ stackers for many years both in my house and outside in New England weather. I burn ~ 4-5 cords of wood a winter in two stoves and a wood burning furnace.

1. They are easy to use.
2. Except for building a log stacking frame yourself using scrap material this seems to be the least expensive method.
3. I recommend using pressure treated 2X4s outside.
4. Make the length 8-12'. I tried 16' once but the stack of wood was unstable.
5. I cover the wood with a tarp only in fall and winter after an extended dry spell. Covering the wood year round does not dry it as well.
6. The plastic pieces will eventually become brittle and crack, but one should get ~ 10 years out of a set

Bought several of these (I have lots of wood). This is by far the best product to use if you want to stack fire wood. I have also bought similar products from the "bargin" stores but they did not hold up well to the elements. I held out reviewing this product because I wanted to see if the "plastic" would withstand the cold winters, and they have. No cracks and fire wood is still standing. I would highly recommend this product!!! Do not buy imitation products....only buy the EZ stacker.

When I unpacked this, my first thought was "Good thing they're cheap". Well, they really work along with being cheap. They're just plastic and wiggle-waggle with no wood in the pile, but it becomes very stable with wood.

Main thing I like is that you buy your own slats, at whatever length you need. I needed feet and odd inches to fit my space, and these really filled the bill.

The EZ stackers are easy to use and set up..I have the maximum size set up (4x8) and it is full of wood... No screws or nails used. Didn't think it would be stable, but is surprisingly so. Great deal for the cost! The brackets can be easily stored so I can take it down next spring.

I have used these for about 10 years and highly recommend them. I use them to set up "temporary" woodpiles on my screen porch each fall. I dismantle them each spring when the outdoor furniture goes in that area.

I like these because they are easy to assemble and easy to disassemble. They are remarkably sturdy considering that they are constructed of plastic. For my permanent woodpiles, I use the galvanized corners made by Simpson (RTC24). They are more sturdy, but the wood must be screwed to the corners.

Great design. Solid material. Running boards "vertically" is an excellent way to keep your firewood out of the mud and bugs and allowing weather to run off it quickly.

Figure you need 3 of these brackets per cord, but get 2 if you're buying half a cord. You won't regret it. I tried to get away with 1 for firewood at our cottage and ended up ordering a 2nd and had to re-stack a lot of wood. I was so happy with this product I ordered a 3rd to use at home. We don't have much wood since we just occasionally use a fire pit here so I just got 3 boards, cut all 3 in half, and set up a half-length bracket (see my "customer pic") and it's miles better than the old stack we had that was pushing over the fence I foolishly leaned it up against.

Pressure treated 2x4's fit snug and solid. Stud 2x4's have a little slop in the fit.

Setup could not be simpler. Get 4 pressure treated 8-foot 2x4's, cut two in half, and you're ready to rock.

They do the job. Good value. You might have to trim down the 2 by 4's if you use pressure treated wood as they tend to run larger that 3-1/2" by 1-1/2".

I'm not sure how this could be any easier. It's just the thing for storing wood without sending a lot of money.

It took me about fifteen minutes to assemble my rack, including cutting the 2x4s to length. Once built, it is pretty sturdy.

Corner pieces assemble quickly and easily to 2x4s. The whole unit is very sturdy and an appropriate size.
