How to make a firebox with your own hands
What may need drovnitsa? It is not needed in the apartment, but in the house or at the dacha the zealous owner, getting ready to take a steam bath, maintain a fire in the fireplace or cook shish kebab on time, prepare logs in advance and dry them. In this case, you need to consider how to make such a thing and what they are?
There are the following types:
- From logs.
- Covered frame.
- Portable
It is best to keep logs at a sufficiently remote distance from the house, in a barn adapted for these purposes, observing the necessary fire safety measures.
How to do it? There are many options, ranging from the simplest to the present inventions. Consider some options.

To create such a repository you need to work hard, because the logs are selected so that they do not interfere with each other. Ready "house" needs to be protected from rain and snow, for which you can use different materials:
- plastic film;
- old shingles;
- Reed.
Of all the above, it is most convenient to use the film, since, having closed the structure to it, it is enough to tie a plastic bottle filled with water at each corner and safety is ensured.
Also, such a structure can make the original roof of logs.
In this case, there is good ventilation, but full protection from moisture cannot be achieved.
Wooden
In the finished structure is easier to store firewood, the more you do not need to worry about what to cover them. To do this, you can build a simple structure of wood.
In this case, it is not at all necessary to lay the foundation or dig the pillars into the ground. It is enough to lift it above the ground, placing stones or sleepers under the base.
From professional sheet
Making such a drovnitsy is not difficult. This will require some material and tools:
- Metal corner or square tube 20 × 20 mm.
- Profulist.
- Welding machine.
- Bulgarian with a disc for metal.
- Electric drill.
This small household building can be used for various purposes.
Portable
With daily use of logs, it may be necessary to manufacture a portable product. Where can I use it? For example, shish kebab is not made every day, so making an unmovable drow box next to the place chosen for making a kebab does not make sense. Such a product must reliably protect the wood from precipitation, be well ventilated, and installed at a safe distance from buildings.
For daily use
As you know, the logs quickly burn through, and constantly walking behind them in the yard is not a pleasure, especially when the weather is not conducive to this. Therefore, it would be wise to stock up tree stocks for the day, transferring them to the house, but here a new task arises - to provide a place for their storage. Of course, you can fold logs in the hallway, but this is acceptable only if the hallway and shed are very similar. We want to make a decent and beautiful, so consider how to make the right product for us at home.
Storage space should be sufficiently removed from sources of open fire, so it is not always necessary to make a firebox similar in design to a fireplace, as they will not be near.
This product can be elegant or very ordinary, welded from several strips of metal or woven from a rod.
Original
If the size of the room and its design allow, you can arrange a small storage for wooden fuel directly in one of the furniture cabinets, in the drawer of the sofa, or in any other place prepared for this purpose.
By turning on imagination and ingenuity, you can realize both the most complex and the most primitive and affordable option.
