ShelterLogic Black Ultra Duty Firewood Rack

This is a premium product and it shows. The material is sturdy and all pieces demonstrate a high build quality. For something that is featured prominently in our backyard we felt it was important to have something that looked great and would hold up to weather. This piece looks great and was much nicer than the cheaper entry level alternatives. We fit a 1/4 cord easily and it's great that the cover could be adjusted as needed and will move down the poles as we use the wood stored below. We added some weights on top to keep the cover from blowing off on windy days and they have done the trick. Highly recommended!

Very durable and solid. I bought 1 then I liked it so much I bought 2 more

Solid, as described. Cover should be taller to cover firewood pile further down. Got blown off in storm. Need to weight down with logs or rocks.

Processing and delivery was fast and professional. The rack is strong and durable. Worth the money. I would order another one.

We bought a pair for my mother in laws place and now have added another for our house as well as a 4'. I contemplated a welded wood rack but time was critical as we had to move the old wood pile and my efforts were spread thin over many projects. Shelter logic was supposed to be a quick fix to my time constraints but now that we have them they will be permanent. My only issue is the cover at my mother in laws which is on the lake and gets windy at times. We have had the cover blow off enough times we no longer use it at that location. I am sure a log at each end on top or if some loops for cord /bungie's would fix.

I am a millwright and as going to build another rack but due to time we decided to buy one instead. It assembled quick and easy and is easily as strong as I would ever need compared to my self fabricated ones which are really overkill. We bought one for our house and one for my mother in law who in the end got both of them and we are going to buy another for ouselves. Yes I can build one but for what we need the shelter logic unit assembles quickly and has all the strength required. My time costs money so while buying is I more expensive the shelter logic unit really isn't in the end. The cover is Velcro and due to being on the lake it blew off in a nasty storm the other night which isn't a fault of the design more so the enviornment. I might install a couple of snaps but otherwise no complaints. For our place not on the lake it will not be an issue. I like the cover design where it will drop lower as you consume your pile ensuring good coverage until you have depleted your pile.

I am basing this review on appearance and lack of craftsmanship, especially when trying to assemble the firewood rack. Some of the metal parts were bent and would not fit. I had to bend them back into shape before I could assemble the rack. One of the screw holes was partially covered so I had to use my pocket knife to unclog it so the screw would fit. Lastly, the directions were just pictures no verbiage. Also, there was no cross bar on the ends to give it extra strength.

This item came in with number of scratches and paint chips. What's also interesting when tightening the screws the metal bents to the screws. This isn't the greatest quality for sure.

I purchased their "ultra" heavy duty (UHD) 8 foot log holder, as a gift, yet should have purchased ShelterLogic "other' 8 foot holder called the heavy duty (HD)for 1/2 the price. The UHD cover can easily blow away, while the HD can not. I don't see the quality, holding, or ruggedness difference between the two different models (UHD verse HD) Due to my poor product selection my cognitive dissonance on this gift is very low. Glad I don't need to look at it every day.

The steel rack itself is holding up nicely on it's second birthday "High quality 2 way adjustable polyester fabric cover" The cover is still black on the back (fence side) and where folds are, but faded almost completely to very dirty mottled grey on the top and front. Result: It's only two years old but looks 100 years old. And it looks real bad. Isn't the cover safe to leave in the sun? 12 foot piles of firewood are usually outside, aren't they?
