Our Bruges logstore is where practical storage meets architectural design. Inspired by traditional European façades, its distinctive “house-style” structure transforms a simple logstore into a striking outdoor feature—something that looks just as good empty as it does fully stacked. Each section varies in height and width, creating a layered, asymmetrical look that adds depth and character to your space rather than just blending into the background.
We supply the Bruges flat-packed, with precision-cut steel panels that slot together for straightforward assembly. This not only makes delivery and handling easier, but also allows you to build it in position—ideal for tighter access or when you want complete control over placement during installation.
The modular design is what truly sets the Bruges apart. Each individual “house” unit can be positioned to suit your space, whether you prefer a clean, linear layout or a more staggered, architectural arrangement. And if your storage needs grow over time, additional modules can be added seamlessly—giving you the flexibility to expand without compromising the overall design.
We manufacture the Bruges from 3mm CorTen steel, a material chosen for its strength, durability, and natural weathering properties. It arrives in its raw steel state and gradually develops a rich, protective patina when exposed to the elements. This evolving finish not only enhances its appearance over time, but also eliminates the need for ongoing maintenance—no painting or treatments required.
Functionality is just as important as design. The elevated base keeps your firewood off the ground, while the open sides encourage airflow to help logs season properly. A built-in roof provides protection from direct rainfall, ensuring your wood stays dry and ready to burn when you need it.
The Bruges isn’t just somewhere to store wood—it’s a considered, long-term addition to your outdoor space. A piece designed to stand out, built to last, and made to improve with age.

How to Acclerate the Process
Before (Left):
Each logstore begins with a refined, dark silver finish — raw Corten steel in its purest form. Clean, minimal, and understated.
After (Right):
As it’s exposed to the elements, the surface develops a rich, warm patina — a deep, textured finish that gives Corten steel its unmistakable character.
This isn’t wear and tear — it’s a natural transformation. Every piece is identical in build, but the protective patina that develops on the surface of the metal will be unique to the conditions in your garden. Typically the steel gradually weathers within 2–4 months, creating a protective outer layer that enhances both durability and appearance.
The Bruges is made from 3mm CorTen steel—a premium material designed for outdoor use. It develops a protective patina that prevents further corrosion and ensures long-term durability. This logstore is built to last decades not years.
The 3 unit Bruges offers approximately 4 cubic metres of storage, while the smaller 2 unit version provides approximately 2.5 cubic meters of firewood storage. Additional units are available to expand the storage capabilities even further to suit your firewood requirements.
It’s supplied in its raw steel state so it can naturally develop its signature weathered patina once installed. Over time, the surface transforms into a rich, rusted finish—making each unit completely unique.
Both. The Bruges is designed as a permanent outdoor feature—combining practical log storage with striking architectural design that enhances the overall look of your garden.
No. It is delivered flat-packed and consists of steel panels that slide together, making installation straightforward without heavy machinery. Instructions are provided and can be viewed here.
During the initial weathering phase, runoff can cause staining on surrounding surfaces. It’s best to place the logstore on a suitable base or allow for drainage until the patina fully stabilises.
Yes. Despite being open front and back, the elevated base and roofed structure help protect logs from rain while allowing airflow to season and dry the wood effectively. Learn more about this here.
Handmade in Holland using 3mm thick Corten steel, every RB73 fire is built for long-term outdoor use—designed to handle the elements year after year, not just season to season.
This isn’t mass-produced garden heating. It’s a solid, heavy-gauge construction that develops character over time while continuing to perform—holding heat, maintaining structure, and ageing exactly as it should.
And when others stop at the product, we go further—offering a full range of spare parts and accessories to support your fire well into the future.
Built to last. Designed to stay.
A well-designed logstore keeps firewood dry by allowing constant airflow while protecting it from direct rain. Raised bases, slatted sides, and angled roofs work together to let moisture escape and prevent water from soaking in.
If you like your outdoor setup to actually fit your space (rather than forcing your space to fit the product), the Sheddak is exactly that kind of system. It’s not just a logstore—it’s a modular setup you can scale, tweak, and adapt depending on how you store wood… or what else you want to hide from view.
Firewood should be stored off the ground, with plenty of airflow, and protected from direct rain. A well-designed logstore—like those from RB73—keeps wood dry, seasoned, and ready to burn efficiently in your outdoor woodburner.
