Carrying bag for firewood dimensions drawing. Types and purpose of firewood

In spring and autumn it is cool in the country and you often have to heat the stove. Since we also had an outdoor hearth, worries with carrying firewood have noticeably increased. It is not very convenient to carry firewood in an armful - and you can get scratched, and clothes get dirty when you press them to yourself. Therefore, it became necessary to sew a special convenient bag for firewood - simple and durable.

The metal or wicker firewood racks that are sold in the store are very beautiful and solid, but, as a rule, they are intended not for carrying firewood, but for storing it near the stove or fireplace. Lightweight and not at all complicated in execution, the bag is more suitable for this purpose.

I determined the approximate dimensions of my "wood" bag by using a medium-sized shopping bag. The design turned out to be quite simple, and no more than two hours were spent on its manufacture.

Any durable material is suitable for a carrying bag - canvas, tarpaulin, burlap, linen or denim. You can use a rug, a bedspread, unnecessary jeans or an old raincoat.

materials:

1. bag canvas 110 x 50 cm,
2. bottom 35 x 50 cm,
3. 2 pen strips 35 x 4 cm or strong tape,
4. a piece of linoleum 28 x 44 cm.

Sewing

1. Cut the corners of the piece of fabric according to the pattern.
2. Bend the edges around the perimeter inward and stitch to the edge. Stitch the bottom in the middle, leaving one edge open.
3. Sew handles on both sides, after sewing them together. For this fold
4. strips of fabric in half lengthwise, fold the edges inward and sew. For handles, you can also use strong kiper, corsage tape or rope.
5. Insert cardboard or another strong gasket into the bottom - a piece of linoleum will do. I lined the cardboard on both sides with laminate backing to keep it from getting wet. If waterproof fabric is used, then this is unnecessary. You can, of course, not compact the bottom, but then the bag will sag and will not keep its shape.

If desired, you can sew a side pocket for tools, matches and other necessary little things. If you sew a bag as a gift for summer residents friends, then 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, you can not to the very bottom,

if the dimensions of the bag allow, to fit the firewood of the right size.

It is more convenient and safer to carry firewood in a carrying bag, it will allow you to better maintain cleanliness in the house - all the garbage from the firewood will remain in the bag.

You can also use it for a picnic. When folded, the bag will take up very little space and will be useful on a hike when collecting branches and rods for a fire.

I hope that such an economical and simple version of a “wood-burning” bag will suit not only summer residents, it will especially be useful to 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 in other gardening matters. Many of our neighbors in the country, interested in the bag, studied the "design" and sewed the same ones for themselves - they appreciated the simplicity and convenience.

Carriers for firewood - ideas for facilitating country life Today I want to offer you just such an idea for a bag for carrying firewood on suburban area or country house. This transfer is very easy to implement. It is enough to find a canvas of dense fabric, and make pens as in the photo. As a fabric, an old piece of tarpaulin, which is thrown a lot into the trash can, can be suitable, and as handles, it is quite possible to adapt sticks of a convenient diameter, simply peeled from the bark, for grasping with hands. And you will have an amazingly functional firewood carrier. In the hands of such a "wood bag" will hold better and more conveniently than iron crates, and sharp wooden knots will not scratch your legs. Pattern diagram of a similar carrying bag for firewood On the given pattern of a carrying bag for firewood (see photo 3), real handles are implemented, and the bag itself is made with a reinforced bottom. It is best to make such a transfer not from an old fabric, but from a new one, so that it will serve you for more than one or two seasons. Carrier for firewood made of metal rods Another pretty simple idea firewood carriers - made of thick metal wire.

Loaded half, as they were quite voluminous. At a time, it was possible to bring to the whole furnace of the furnace.

Carrier for firewood made of metal rods

Another fairly simple firewood carrier idea is made from thick metal wire. Such a design can also be woven from aluminum, only in this case it will be necessary to take a pigtail from several wires, best of all from an electric wire.

In a hurry - carrying firewood from a canister

If there is very little time, and you come to the dacha exclusively on weekends, in order to relax and warm up by the fireplace or stove, then you can bring firewood into the house using a cut plastic canister. Fast, convenient, maybe a little careless, but you can cut it more carefully if you wish.

Basket firewood from the vine

But this carrying firewood shed is a real work of art. Of course, it is not easy to weave this, but there are probably craftsmen in your region who can order something similar. Or maybe even buy in the market, from those who weave baskets and sell them.

General information

In all cases, the design principle of the carrier is to embrace firewood and a comfortable handle. The material for creativity is diverse - this is fabric, and rods, and metal, and plastic.

For example, our grandfather in the village used to use metal carriers, rectangular in shape, with a handle on top. All my childhood I wore such firewood in the house. Loaded half, as they were quite voluminous. At a time, it was possible to bring to the whole furnace of the furnace.

The design of our carrier was simple - imagine a matchbox placed on the short side. All faces are made of a metal bar, and on top is another thicker bar as a handle. Convenient and practical.

Arriving at a dacha in cold weather, the first thing we do is heat the stove or fireplace, and the supply of firewood, as a rule, is stored in the yard, in the woodshed. In order not to carry firewood on his hands, Alexander Stepanov built a simple carrying.

Once we arrived at the dacha in rainy, dank weather. I really did not want to change into cold work clothes, and, in a hurry to kindle the stove, I ran for firewood. He carried them on bent arms and stained his jacket with tar. It was then that I realized that it was necessary to finally build a carrier for firewood.

For me, a comfortable carrying height is 650 mm. If it stands on the floor, it does not reach the clenched fist by about 5 cm. To lift the carrier with firewood, it is enough to bend your legs slightly, without bending over and without straining your lower back.

Tool
To work, it is enough to have a screwdriver or a drill, a pair of clamps for wood, a square, a hacksaw for metal or a grinder, a riveter (preferably with
extended handles). A short-handled rivet requires more effort - and when squeezed, sometimes bruises remain on the palm.

The assembly process of carrying firewood

In the manufacture of frames, the standard operation is repeated - with a clamp it is necessary to fix the steel corner on the section of the profile, drill the duralumin blank through the holes in the steel corner and fasten the parts with rivets. To form grooves in the corners of the frames, you can use a short piece of duralumin profile as a template. I would like to note that the steel corners are slightly rounded at the bend, so one corner of the template needs to be slightly filed off.

When working, it is very convenient to use quick-clamping clamps for wood. With one hand, we simultaneously apply and clamp the clamp, and hold the parts with our free left hand.

Working with two clamps, at the ends of the racks 650 mm long, I riveted the corners with a shelf length of 70 m. I inserted the racks with corners into the square holes of the rectangular lower frame and connected the corners to the frames. Similarly, putting the upper frame on the racks, I attached the corners of the racks to the details of the frame with rivets.

To the upper frame, with the help of small corners, I attached a crossbar to install the handle.

It turned out to be light and durable carrying, reminiscent of a suitcase, only with a handle at the end. We put logs about 30 cm long on the short side of the carrier. At one time in the carrier, you can bring twice as much firewood than on your hands. Now a wooden firewood rack and a duralumin carrier are constantly standing by the fireplace, so that in any weather the fireplace is provided with dry firewood.

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 flood the stove or kindle a fireplace. To maintain the fire, it is necessary to constantly throw firewood, which means that from time to time you have to constantly go to the woodpile for them.

Metal firewood

A firewood carrier can be a handy tool for a comfortable pastime, because most often people use their hands to carry firewood or brushwood in an armful. Advantages this device obvious. Clothes stay clean, and the carrier, made of durable materials, can become a stationary firewood keeper.

A firewood rack is an accessory that has not only a functional value, but is ideal as an additional element of decor. According to its design, it is divided into two types:

• stationary;
• portable.

Firewood shed is stationary

Built-in stone janitor

The stationary firewood shed is not intended as a means for transporting firewood. You can make it 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 from any side, while the structure itself can have a different geometric shape.

Secret: the firewood rack located below, as a rule, has a larger volume and accommodates twice as much dry logs and brushwood.

Firewood rack portable

A firewood rack designed for carrying brushwood, firewood from one place to another, as a rule, is much smaller in volume compared to a stationary installation. Its main advantage is its functionality.

Metal structures

Carrying for firewood differs in the material of its manufacture.

Metal, this material is characterized by style and beauty. This is not surprising, because such structures are most often forged. If you make them solid, then they will be too heavy, considering the weight of the firewood. To reduce weight, the craftsmen go to the trick and make the bottom in the form of a lattice. This is a good option for a massive load. It is not very practical to use it for small logs and brushwood, as dust and small pieces of bark will crumble.

Forged firewood for a fireplace

Giving preference to such designs, attention should be paid to products with a solid bottom. Another option is to pay attention to models made of brass metal. The combination of copper and zinc gives antiquity to the structures. As a rule, some manufacturers make folding structures, which is very practical.

You can try to make it yourself. For this use metal sheets or rods. Depending on the physical characteristics of the metal itself, only the ends of the blanks can be bent, 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 summer cottages, 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 would be to purchase a galvanized basin or bucket and decorate it with your own hands:

• make decor using decoupage technique;
• you can simply paint the bucket manually;
• paint;
• artificially age.

The budget option is to use old tires that are no longer used for their intended purpose, but are practical for everyday life, especially on household plots. The tire needs to be cut out, and a plywood board or other light, but more or less durable material, should be placed on its bottom. The handles of the future basket are also cut out of the tire and attached to the structure with glue or rivets.

Fabric structures

Firewood carrier

Baskets can be made from 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 the role of carrying more, since it is dangerous to keep the fabric structure near the fire.

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 need a small piece of fabric in the form 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 will be located with the size male hand, on one side and 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. Such a firewood rack is usually made of abaca, rattan, vine. The most common material in domestic open spaces is willow. It is possible to make such a design yourself if you have the skills to weave products from such materials.

Among the advantages of wicker structures, their low weight and affordable cost are noted. Some ready-made designs have wheels or legs. A wicker basket can be made by yourself in a few days. It all depends on the technique of weaving, as well as on the skill of the craftsmen. It can have a rectangular, oval or round bottom.

It can also be made according to an affordable design, in which two slats of the same length are taken. Holes are drilled along the entire length with a uniform pitch. In this case, the four holes should have a slightly larger diameter. Rods are inserted into small holes, and the remaining branches are woven with simple weaving, starting from the bottom of the structure and ending with the sides.

Wooden baskets. Here fantasy has no limits. For the standard version, the usual wooden box, at the bottom of which the wheels are screwed. The product made of wood adds chic to the rustic style in the interior and is more suitable for country houses, dacha.

Wooden carrier with metal bars

Stationary installations

With your own hands, you can make a stationary installation, 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. As a support can be used equally as wooden bars and metal racks. They are interconnected by horizontal bridges.

In the lower part of the structure, shelving is installed, preferably trellised, which will provide ventilation, and the firewood will not become damp during storage. From above, the structure is covered with any roofing material and fastened with self-tapping screws directly to the racks.

You can make a stationary house. It is built using a similar method as the shelving unit 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 does not make sense to build a large house if the firewood is intended only for barbecue and so on. If a dwelling is heated with firewood in the winter, then the storage itself must have roomy parameters.

Another option is to make a wooden stationary structure. As in previous models, you will need four solid beams that can be replaced with logs. The structure should have a slight slope, as rain water will not linger on it.

Stationary firewood shed made of wood in the yard

At the four corners of the space cleared of debris, holes are dug 70 centimeters deep, into which gravel is then poured. Wooden poles are pre-treated with antiseptics, and the ends lowered into the ground are additionally coated with special compounds. The supports are covered with clay mixed with gravel.

Between themselves, the pillars are connected by wide boards both vertically and diagonally. From the outside, the structure is upholstered with slats. The exception is the front part. It turns out a kind of frame. The tops of the pillars are connected by a special frame made in advance from small beams.

Further, the entire frame is upholstered with a wooden crate. The future roof must be covered with two layers of roofing material and covered with any roofing material. WITH wooden structure slate looks good. The firewood itself will be stacked on ordinary wooden pallets. Alternatively, you can build a small deck out of planks.

Summing up

Regardless of the functionality, as well as the type of design, making it yourself is quite simple.

Original combined firewood rack made of leather and metal

Brief description of devices depending on the material:

1. Stationary models are made of wood, metal and have a base. These models can be located not only outside the house, but also inside. The latest modern models of fireplaces already have such a design, which, as a rule, is located at the bottom of the hearth or on the side.
2. Mobile devices can be made from virtually any material. The main condition for them is durability. However, near open flames, it is recommended to use only metal constructions, while other options carry not only a direct functional value, but can serve additional element interior. In their form, they resemble bags, bags, wickerwork, boxes. Independent execution involves the use of any improvised materials.

Buying a finished product or making it yourself is a purely individual matter.
