The resulting product cannot be called a work of art, but it has a number of advantages:
- it is very light, almost weightless, and quite spacious (10 logs - easy!);
- cost - 0 rubles, because the components are taken from waste;
- even a woman who is far from any kind of needlework can make it (and if she also involves her grandchildren, then there is nothing to do at all);
- time to assemble the product – no more than 30 minutes (if pre-prepared materials are available);
- time to prepare materials depends on individual abilities and clutter in the barn;
- does not take up much space when stored - hangs flat on a nail;
- easy to clean.
Assembly begins by pulling the wire through the cells plastic mesh along the long side at a distance of 10 cm from the edge.
Then we drag the wire through the first piece of hose, then again through the mesh cells (at a distance of the same 10 cm, but from its other edge), and then through the second piece of hose. Now you need to securely connect the ends of the wire and hide them by sliding a piece of hose over them.
I apologize for maybe being too much detailed description: In no case did I want to offend anyone or take up too much time. But I will be very glad if this thing makes life a little easier for someone.
In the summer, this carrier is convenient for carrying onions and garlic with tops from the garden to dry, and the neighbor carries grass for the rabbits in it. Maybe you, dear summer residents, will find some other use for it?

With the coming summer period Summer residents are beginning to think about adding a variety of household appliances. Hot days are preceded by a passionate desire to sit by the fire, eat kebabs from the grill, and in these situations you can’t do without firewood. There will be different options for carrying firewood good remedy for high-speed movement of material for the fire.
Using a stretcher made by yourself, you don’t need to run to the barn many times, and if you are outdoors in the forest, then there is no need to carry brushwood in your hands, you can simply carry it in a basket or in a ready-made wicker firewood box. Homemade firewood carrier- this is a guarantee of your clothes not being dirty, because carrying the material in your hands, it is not always possible to maintain a normal appearance.
Methods for homemade carrying of firewood:
1. Fabric or skin devices. You can use old things. It is necessary to make a pattern for several rectangles (60 by 90). In case of strong material, you can leave 1 layer. We sew 2 canvases together. We determine the center and cut out a segment (about 20 by 20). We do the same on the opposite side. These protruding stripes will become handles. They must be folded and sewn to the fabric without touching the fabric at the edges. The end result will be handles with holes into which plastic or wooden sticks can be inserted. A more expensive option is a leather carrier. It is stronger and more durable. Today, any tailoring store is able to sew this look.
2. Wicker firewood or firewood baskets. This option is ideal for a bath or sauna. But not suitable for transporting large branches, but great for small twigs or brushwood. Firewood baskets They will look good as an addition to the interior near the fireplace in the country. There are special baskets with a functional handle and on wheels; they can be a good replacement for simple firewood racks.
3. Metal carrier. Universal firewood carrier can be made not only from fabric or leather. Metal rods or a whole sheet can make your firewood rack simply irreplaceable. The sheet can be bent completely or the edges can be bent by adding metal rods for handles. If you also add legs, then such a firewood rack can be left for the interior. And in terms of convenience, it is the leader.
4. An old mesh hammock or flannel shirt- excellent temporary devices if you haven’t had time to make or buy anything yet.
5. Tire firewood. Tires received in modern world a second life: they are used to make flower beds, cut out figurines and firewood boxes. For the latter, you need to cut it, turn it inside out, and place a board on the bottom. This carrier is no worse firewood baskets, but is a cheaper option. And making it yourself is much faster than other types of wood carriers.
As you can see there is a large number of various devices: made of fabric, leather, wicker, tires, metal. Environments of this large selection you can easily find yourself perfect option that will serve you long years.
Firewood is an integral part of any country house. Not a single picnic is complete without them, and in winter, thanks to them, it is possible to light the stove or light the fireplace. To keep the fire going, you need to constantly add wood, which means that from time to time you have to constantly go to the woodpile to get it.
Metal firewood holder
A device for carrying firewood can be a convenient tool for a comfortable pastime, because most often people use their hands to carry firewood or brushwood in an armful. The advantages of this device are obvious. Clothes stay clean, and the carrier, made of durable materials, can become a stationary firewood keeper.
The firewood box is an accessory that not only has functional significance, but is ideal as an additional decorative element. According to its design, it is divided into two types:
- stationary;
- portable.
Stationary firewood
Built-in stone yard
The stationary firewood box is not intended as a means of transporting firewood. It can be made in the form of a niche built directly into the fireplace. The undoubted advantage of this method is the preservation of space in the room. The location of the device can be arranged on any side, while the structure itself can have a different geometric shape.
Secret: the firewood box located below, as a rule, has a larger volume and holds twice as much dry logs and brushwood.
Portable firewood box
A firewood rack, designed for carrying brushwood and firewood from one place to another, is usually much smaller in volume compared to a stationary installation. The main advantage is its functionality.
Metal structures
The firewood carrier differs in the material it is made from.
Metal, this material has style and beauty. This is not surprising, since such structures are most often forged. If you make them solid, they will be too heavy, considering the weight of the firewood. To reduce weight, craftsmen use a trick and make the bottom in the form of a lattice. This is a good option for massive cargo. Using it for small logs and brushwood is not entirely practical, since dust and small pieces of bark will fall off.
Wrought iron firewood box
Giving preference to such designs, attention should be paid to products with solid bottom. Another option is to pay attention to models made of brass metal. The combination of copper and zinc gives the structures an antique look. As a rule, some manufacturers make folding structures, which is very practical.
You can try making it yourself. For this they use metal sheets or rods. Depending on the physical characteristics metal itself, you can bend only the ends of the workpieces, leaving the main area in the plane, or try to bend the entire element and get the shape of an arc. Also, for practicality, legs are welded to the bottom of the structure, which makes it stable and makes it possible to use it for storage, and not just for carrying.
Recently, accessories for the dacha, which were popular in the forties of the last century, have returned to fashion. These are various household containers made of copper and brass, troughs, buckets and so on. The most budget option will purchase a galvanized basin or bucket and decorate it with your own hands:
- decorate using decoupage technique;
- you can just paint the bucket manually;
- paint;
- artificially age.
A budget option is to use old tires that are no longer used for their intended purpose, but are practical for everyday life, especially on personal plots. The tire needs to be cut out, and a plywood board or other lightweight but more or less durable material. The handles of the future basket are also cut out of the tire and attached to the structure using glue or rivets.
Fabric structures
Fabric carrier for firewood
Baskets can be made of fabric. A bag is the easiest option for those who are at least a little familiar with patterns and sewing. For its manufacture, any dense fabric is selected. It can be drape, wool or other material. Such a basket plays more of a carrying role, since holding a fabric structure near a fire is dangerous.
Despite the proposed ready-made designs, it is better to do it yourself, giving the product exclusivity and using it as an additional accessory in the interior. To do this you will need a small piece of fabric in the shape of a rectangle. Depending on the density of the material, it can be used in one or more layers.
The center is determined by the width of the material, where the slot with the size will be located male hands, on one side and on the other. Handles are inserted into the slots. Any material, plastic, wood or metal, is suitable for this. It must be strong enough to support the load of firewood being carried.
Wicker and wood
A device for carrying firewood can be exclusive. This type of firewood is usually made from abaca, rattan, grapevine. The most common material in our country is willow. You can make such a design yourself if you have the skills to weave products from such materials.
Among the advantages of wicker structures are their low weight and affordable cost. Some ready-made designs have wheels or legs. Wicker basket can be made independently in a few days. It all depends on the weaving technique, as well as on the skill of the craftsmen. It can have a rectangular, oval or round bottom.
It can also be made using an accessible design, in which two slats of the same length are taken. Holes are drilled along the entire length at even intervals. In this case, the four holes should have a slightly larger diameter. Rods are inserted into the small holes, and the remaining branches are woven using simple weaving, starting from the bottom of the structure and ending with the sides.
Wooden baskets. Here fantasy has no limits. For standard version regular one will do wooden box, at the bottom of which wheels are screwed. A product made of wood adds chic to a rustic style in the interior and is more suitable for country houses, dacha
Wooden carrier with metal bars
Stationary installations
You can make a stationary installation with your own hands, which will serve as the main storage. The usual installation is presented in the form of a rack with a canopy. The method of its manufacture is quite simple. Can be used equally as a support wooden beams, so metal racks. They are connected to each other by horizontal jumpers.
At the bottom of the structure, shelving is installed, preferably lattice, which will provide ventilation and the firewood will not become damp during storage. The top of the structure is covered with any roofing material and attached with self-tapping screws directly to the racks.
You can make a stationary house. It is built using a similar method to the rack and also has four main supports. Unlike the option presented above, it is distinguished by the presence of walls. The size of the building depends on the purpose of the firewood. For example, it makes no sense to build a large house if the firewood is intended only for barbecues and so on. If a living space is heated with wood winter period, then the storage itself must have spacious parameters.
Another option is to make a wooden stationary structure. As in previous models, you will need four solid beams, which can be replaced with logs. The structure should have a slight slope, as it will not retain water from rain.
Stationary wood firewood in the yard
At the four corners of the space cleared of debris, holes 70 centimeters deep are dug, into which gravel is then poured. Wooden pillars are treated in advance with antiseptics, and the ends lowered into the ground are additionally coated special compounds. The supports are covered with clay mixed with gravel.
The pillars are connected to each other wide boards both vertically and diagonally. WITH outside the structure is covered with slats. The exception is front part. It turns out to be a kind of frame. The tops of the pillars are connected by a special frame made in advance from small beams.
Next, the entire frame is upholstered wooden sheathing. The future roof must be covered with two layers of roofing material and covered with any roofing material. WITH wooden building The slate looks good. The firewood itself will be stacked on ordinary wooden pallets. An alternative is to build a small deck using planks.
Let's sum it up
Regardless of the functionality, as well as the type of design, making it yourself is quite simple.
Original combined leather and metal firewood box
Brief characteristics of devices depending on material:
- Stationary models are made of wood, metal and have a base. These models can be located not only outside the house, but also inside. Latest modern models fireplaces already have such a design, which, as a rule, is located at the bottom of the hearth or on the side.
- Mobile devices can be made of almost any material. The main condition for them is strength. However, near open fire It is recommended to use only metal constructions, other options carry not only direct functional meaning, but can serve additional element interior In their shape they resemble bags, sacks, wickerwork, boxes. Doing it yourself involves using any available materials.
Buy ready product or making it yourself is a purely individual matter.
There are a lot of emotional emotions in adding wood to an evening forest fire or the firebox of a winter country house. But, besides romance, there is also an understanding that this firewood needs to be prepared and brought. It can take a lot of time to provide firewood for a barbecue, or to supply it for a home fire in the harsh winter.
A device for carrying firewood is what will help you save energy and time. Carrying firewood is very beneficial. We list their advantages compared to the manual method:
- At one time you will carry 4-5 times more firewood in a carrier than by hand.
- Your hands and clothes will remain clean.
Carrying stand made of metal
The metal firewood carrier is strong and durable. Its only downside is the added weight to your firewood. In forged goods stores you can choose different variants carrying stands for firewood, but if you have a couple of extra metal rods and welding tools or bolts for ties, then you can make such a device yourself.
Although such a carrier looks elegant, it has a number of disadvantages: one of which is the additional weight that you will have to carry in your hands in addition to the firewood
But such a carrying will not add to your hands excess weight, besides, it is convenient and will not take up much space when stored
Homemade metal carrier
Option No. 1: with welding. For work, select: 2 metal rods 1.5 meters each and 2 rods for the handle and bottom - 30-40 cm long. Bend the long rods into a rectangle shape and weld the ends. Then weld the rectangles to each other using short rods. To do this, fasten the short sides of the rectangles together with rods in the middle.
Option No. 2: with tie bolts. For such carrying you can use metal corner and 2 metal strips. Let's take the following dimensions: 4 corners of 50 cm and 4 corners of 35 cm; 2 planks of 40 cm each. Next, we make 2 rectangles 50x35 cm from the corners, tightening the corners with bolts. Now we connect the rectangles with metal strips using bolts according to the same principle as in the first option. Upper bar wrap it with electrical tape to make it easier to hold with your hand.
More more options metal carriers: in fact, to make a firewood carrier you only need straight hands and a little imagination
To save time and effort, buy or make 2 metal carriers at once. So, you will load both hands and bring more firewood at once.
Fabric firewood carrier
You can easily carry a fabric carrier in the trunk of a car, a backpack, or even under your armpit. And the main thing is great option firewood bags that you can sew in 30 minutes! To work you need to prepare a cloth and 2 small wooden logs up to 4 cm in diameter.
Making a firewood carrier from fabric is the simplest and most affordable option of all those presented on this page: you will need a piece of thick fabric and a couple of cuttings as a handle
This is how simple the transfer ends up: as they say, everything ingenious is simple
Step 1. Pattern. It is better to take a thicker fabric for carrying, or fold it in 2 layers. Leather, leather substitute, denim, burlap or tarpaulin work well. The cut dimensions are approximately 120x50 cm. On the narrow edges, provide space for handles.
Step 2. Sew the edges. If the fabric is double, stitch the edges. Now fold the short edges inward by 6-8 cm and sew to the sides. You have a rectangle, at the ends of which you can insert 2 round logs.
Step 3. Prepare the handles. We grind 2 wooden logs, removing the bark. We insert them into the fabric and the firewood carrier is ready.
If there are no suitable cuttings for the handles, then you can make these same handles from the same fabric as the main part of the device
On a winter evening, carrying firewood to the bathhouse in such a carrier is a pleasure, take my word for it.
You can sew such a bag for firewood from old jeans. You need to cut off the legs, rip them apart at one end and sew them together around the perimeter. This way we will get a stylish and original blank for fabric carrying.

In spring and autumn it can be cool at the dacha and you have to light the stove often. Since we also had an outdoor fireplace, the worries about carrying firewood have noticeably increased. Carrying firewood in an armful is not very convenient - you can get scratched, and your clothes get dirty when you hold them close to you. Therefore, there was a need to sew a special one for firewood. comfortable bag- simple and durable.
Metal or wicker firewood boxes that are sold in stores are very beautiful and solid, but, as a rule, they are not intended for carrying firewood, but for storing it near the stove or fireplace. A lightweight and not at all complicated bag is more suitable for this purpose.
I determined the approximate dimensions of my “wood” bag using a medium-sized shopping bag. The design turned out to be quite simple, and its production took no more than two hours.
Any durable material is suitable for a carrying bag - canvas, tarpaulin, burlap, linen or denim. You can use a rug, a blanket, unnecessary clothes such as jeans or an old raincoat.
Materials:
- bag canvas 110 x 50 cm,
- bottom 35 x 50 cm,
- 2 strips for handles 35 x 4 cm or strong tape,
- piece of linoleum 28 x 44 cm.
Sewing
- Cut the corners of a piece of fabric according to the diagram.
- Fold the edges around the perimeter inward and stitch to the edge. Sew the bottom in the middle, leaving one edge open.
- Sew the handles on both sides, having previously sewn them together. To do this, fold
- strips of fabric in half lengthwise, fold the edges inward and stitch. For handles, you can also use strong keeper, grosgrain ribbon or rope.
- Insert cardboard or other durable padding into the bottom - a piece of linoleum will also do. I lined the cardboard on both sides with laminate backing to protect it from getting wet. If you use waterproof fabric, then this is unnecessary. You can, of course, not seal the bottom, but then the bag will sag and will not hold its shape.
If desired, you can sew a pocket on the side for tools, matches, etc. necessary little things. If you are sewing a bag as a gift for your summer resident friends, it is better to combine fabrics of different colors - for the outer and inner parts - and come up with an interesting finish.
The design of such a carrying bag is also good because you can spend a minimum of time on its manufacture if you use a suitable shopping bag that you don’t mind “spoiling.” To do this, you just need to cut off the side parts, maybe not all the way to the bottom,
if the dimensions of the bag allow it to accommodate firewood of the required size.
It is more convenient and safer to carry firewood in a carrying bag; it will allow you to better keep the house clean - all the debris from the firewood will remain in the bag.
You can also use it on a picnic. When folded, the bag will take up very little space and will be useful on a hike when collecting branches and twigs for a fire.
I hope that such an economical and simple version of the “wood-burning” bag will suit not only summer residents, but it will be especially useful for rural residents who permanently live in houses with stove heating.
We are very pleased with our bag; we use it all the time, and not only for its intended purpose, but also for other gardening tasks. Many of our neighbors in the country, becoming interested in the bag, studied the “design” and sewed the same ones for themselves - they appreciated the simplicity and convenience.
