It's for cash rich, time poor people 🙂

They don't want to waste any Facebook time or miss an important tweet.

Obviously!

Must look very amusing from up on the hill, looking down upon the peasants.

From their website:

External Width: 3ft 10in (1.17m)
External Depth: 2ft (0.60m)
Height at back: 4ft 3in (1.30m)
Height at front: 5ft 3in (1.59m)

Is that not a tad on the small side? Even for those without McMoonter's habit

Is that artisan constructed with rarer than hens teeth wood? I'll take 2.

Only any good if the wood you put in it is already dry. You need vented sides to allow airflow to dry the wood. I made ours from bits of 4x2 that had previously been faux ceiling joists in our bedroom. a 2mx1mx1.5m store cost about £20, can store 2 tonnes of wood.

who are inadequate enough to be unable to knock a very simple wood store together.

If you think peasants are splashing that much money for log sheds, then that word does not think what you think it means.

Theres enough logs there to do enough christmases and winter soirees until the next redecoration and it gets ripped out.

I've just joined the local community arts charity so I can use their workshops and big boys toys to build my own wood stores. Can't be difficult with the right tools, they're just a box.

The irony here being that McMoonter lives up on the hill looking down on where everyone else lives. Nice patch of the world up there tho!

Good god! Mine is made out of pallets!

However, I guess that it should be marketed as a shabby chic, up-cycled, rustic, hand crafted wood storage vessel manufactured of authentic industrial wood and artisan fashioned to preserve the original oil stains, chips, scuffs and defects acquired during this products' original life as a....pallet.

Do they also do a side business polishing turds?

Well that's disappointing.
I was expecting a thread about your OH's reaction when you suggested going to a fancy dress party as Harry Potter's Grandfather.

I don't see the issue.

Someone with the woodwork skills of a toaster and a disposable income that would make a footballer blush wants somewhere to put some ready seasoned logs from the petrol station that will look nice in his suburban garden.

Meanwhile someone is making a living knocking these up, writing some flannel to sell them to Mr Toaster on the internet. The delivery company makes a buck and the world keeps going round.

Meanwhile there's no way I or those with more skills with a hammer than the average three year old and an hour or two to spare would choose to buy that highly priced bit of log storage overkill. And no one is making us.

Choice is good people, look at all those lovely wheel sizes and bottom bracket types we have for our bikes. 😛

The log retainers have an awful panel gap considering it's £600!

Someone was trying to sell something similar at our local "artisan" market in Chesterfield. Eye watering prices as well.
How long would 1m³ of logs last most people? I'd use that in ten days I'd imagine.

Well, if like most stove owners, it's only there for showing off to Jerry and Margo when they come round for a dinner party, then quite a while.

Six hundred quid sounds pretty reasonable to solve the problem of soggy log piles.

Speaking of which, I'll be back in ten minutes.

Surely they got the decimal point wrong and it's supposed to be £61.60? Even that's a lot.

It's the equivalent of a £50,000 Brompton DH bike.

You see everyone has their breaking point. Usually its a subject that they hold close to their heart with a religious fervor.....and for McMoonter that's wood sheds 🙁 I feel your pain brother 🙁
