Questions and Answers for ShelterLogic LumberRack 2-Way Adjustable Firewood Bracket Kit with Customizable Design (Designed to Firmly Fit 2 x 4 Lumber)

A:  Hello Mary, The length for this bracket kit is adjustable but the height is stationary. Thus, there is no maximum length between brackets. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-932-9344. Thank you

A:  At 15” wide this is probably designed to hold 16”+ pieces. A cord is 8’ long by 4’ wide by 4’ tall. If your brackets were spaced 8’ apart stacked 4” high with 16” pieces (pretty common bought size) you would have what’s called a face cord ~ 1/3 of a cord

A:  You can stake it down so it doesn’t tip over as easily. 

A:  Hello, Thank you for your question. That is the innovative design to firmly fit a 2x4 lumber for a sturdier rack construction and how the molds were created. The second hole does not require or need lumber as its simply there because that's how it was designed. If you have any other questions or wish to discuss this in more detail, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-932-9344. Thank you

A:  Hello Brain, The Firewood Rack Bracket Kit are sold as a pair. Thank you

A:  Pairs.

A:  I purchased mine a few years ago and they came as a pair. Still work great!

A:  They come in pairs. I use 4 (2 boxes) to make a square and place 3 squares side by side so I can tarp over the stacked wood.

A:  Yes, these are sold as a pair.

A:  Yes. Some trimming may be needed on some treated 2 x 4's depending on how "wet" they are. I have made several racks with these brackets and they work great and are sturdy.

A:  Yes

A:  They did for me. I used treated 2x4s because they would be setting directly on the ground and I haven't had any problems. Things slid together easily and I've been very happy with the racks.

A:  Yes, they are great! They work fine with pressure treated 2 x 4.(make sure the wood is not warped) Wish I had more!

A:  Yes. No problem.

A:  Yes, no reason not to.

A:  Hello Kent, Yes you can use pressure treated lumber. Thank you

A:  We split and stack 3-1/2 cords of firewood each year. We have several sets of these brackets. We use fully treated 2"x4" 's for both the horizontal 'base' and the 4 vertical posts when building each rack. A quick sanding - right where the treated 2"x4" 's fit into the brackets (about the last 4" on all four sides) - with a palm sander and 80 grit sandpaper will make them the correct size for a proper fit. Since the treated 2"x4" 's are reused every year, this procedure only has to be done once! These brackets work great and are a real 5 star product! Hope this helps you.

A:  Pressure treated lumber may need to be trimmed before using with this bracket kit.

A:  Yes, I would assume that any 2x4's would work whether pressure treated or not. If using in an area that has no concrete i would suggest using 12" concrete pavers under each corner for stability. We have been using for several seasons now and they work great!

A:  yes you can take it apart and store it in a shed during the summer. That's what I did.

A:  Yeah. Easier than putting your shoes on.

A:  Yes. They slide out

A:  Yes can be taken apart. Very easy to set up and take down.

A:  Hi Cassidy, You can certainly take this apart and store it for the winter. Hope that helps you. Thank you!

A:  Yes, a pressure treated 2x4 can be used with this product.

A:  Yes

A:  Yes but be prepared to shave off a little of the end of the 2x4 if your lumber is particularly wet from treatment. Try to select light feeling 2x4's as they tend to be drier and closer to the correct size.

A:  Yeah.

A:  No reason not to.

A:  I had a similar concern so I added a couple of 2x2's across the top for added strength

A:  I haven't run any calculations, so I can't say definitively. It sounds like your installation is outside of the intended design envelope on this one though, so I think you may be better off sticking with the steel if it works.

A:  I have several sets of these, and I would recommend they only be used on very close to level areas. They would be great, for example, on a deck or on a poured concrete floor. I use them in the house on a wood floor in the winter for temporary storage. If I were going to attempt to do what you suggest, I would go with metal brackets, or at least, at a minimum, put a diagonal brace or two on the lower end against your 2x4s. It would require more wood, but could be easily built, though not the neatest looking thing in the world.

A:  Well drive some better than tent pegs before you put wood on them lock it down I live in hilly Country I do that all the time two.

A:  I'm just a customer and can't speak about specific weight limits but I have used the metal brackets you mention. These plastic brackets don't seem to have that problem and is why I decided to try them over the metal ones which I have used also. These brackets seem quite strong and the only thing I can see happening is UV exposure over time weakening the plastic since it is made of ABS and that is typically not UV resistant unless it is manufactured specifically that way and the advertising does not specify.

A:  I suggest that you use a bracket at each end and tie the vertical posts together with either HEAVY nylon rope or box the 4 vertical posts with 2x4's. This will basically eliminate any chance of the plastic failing. I did not do this and one end failed.

A:  Works and made well.

A:  I think that would be a question for the manufacturer.

A:  To avoid that problem I bought a 2nd kit and 2 more 2x4's (to match the bottom 2) and placed them on the TOP of the verticals to form a rectangle. Stops are needed on the verticals to keep the upper set from sliding down.

A:  Due to the flexibility in size of these kits we do not have a holding load available. The brackets are molded ABS plastic that will not rust, corrode, crack or peel. They are tough and durable.

A:  I added QTY 1 to my cart of model 90460 as a test and the price calculated to 14.99. Please check that you are only adding qty 1 to the cart, and one of these items will provide you with two brackets.

A:  Make sure you ask for only ONE kit.

A:  It's a set of two brackets.

A:  You get (2) per order, that's all you need is (1) pair

A:  I don't know. 14.99 is what I saw and got. I rack equals two ends. I ordered a bunch 8 and then 6 and got free shipping to the house, maybe they add shipping for only a few.
