subject: Coal Bunkers & Storage: What Type Are You Really Looking For [print this page] Coal bunkers are a great storage solution for all solid fuel needs, such as coal, turf, logs, and sticks. They can be used to store both coal and logs for use with an open fire at the home.
When using a real fire at home you quickly realise that fuel is consumed as a very fast rate. Coal bunkers are a great solution to this problem as they allow fuel to be stored at the home with great ease. Coal bunkers are designed to allow fuel to be stored at the home conveniently, keeping the fuel safe and dry.
Purchasing small bags of coal from a local garage or shop can prove to be an expensive task on a weekly basis as fuel is consumed quickly, coal bunkers can help reduce the costs of purchasing fuel as large quantities of coal can be bought from a dealer or merchant at a cheaper rate and can be stored safely and conveniently at the home for use when it is needed.
During prolonged periods of cold coal bunkers allow you to be better prepared as garages and shops tend to sell out of coal and fuel quickly during these periods. A coal bunker can prove to be a great investment overtime and make sure that your home stays warm throughout these lengthy periods of cold.
Plastic coal bunkers are quickly replacing the older concrete and steel bunkers that have become a thing of the past. Plastic bunkers are manufactured from medium density UV resistant polythene that is not affected by direct sunlight so they will stay looking fresh and can be recycled many years after their twenty plus years life expectancy. They are strong and robust and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Plastic bunkers come fully assembled on delivery and will not corrode, rust or rot and they will not require painting over time. All bunkers are tested before shipping and are fully weatherproof in accordance with European Union requirements.
All bunkers come with incorporated design features such as top and bottom openings for quick and easy use, deflectors to prevent the build up of coal by the openings and the ability to remove and replace locking pins for increased security. These bunkers come in two different colours, either black or green, and are designed to be both practical in use and attractive on the eye in any garden setting.
Coal bunkers are sturdy, safe, durable and strong and are a necessary accessory for using a real fire at home.
