There is much you can do to add a touch of elegance to your garden; flower beds and a well trimmed lawn are the obvious starting point but there are many secrets employed by gardeners and landscapers to add that special touch that can create the perfect outdoor setting.
Features are one method that people employ and while many people look to rock gardens, fountains and sculptures there are other features that offer a rustic ornamental feature that can beautify most gardens but also have a practical application too.
Log Stores
Log stores are commonly thought of as only used by people who have open fires or log burning stoves. And while its true, if you do use logs for fuel then a log store is a must other wise much of your fuel for the fire or stove will get wet which can reduce the heat produced and create smoke.
However, more and more people who don't even have a fire or log burning stove are buying log stores as ornamental features for their garden.
Types
Log stores come in a wide variety of styles, shapes and sizes and the right log store is available for just about any size, shape or type of back garden.
Log stores range from small rustic looking logstores manufactured from reclaimed timber to larger timber stores manufactured from recycled logs and beams.
What to look out for
Extra Large Timberstore
If you are thinking of buying a logstore then it really needs to have only two things: built to withstand the weather, so the wood should be treated; and a good roof to keep the logs dry (even if you don't use the logs you don't want your ornamental timber going mouldy).
Many logstores are self-assembled so look out for things like free delivery which can help in reducing the costs of buying a log store.
