Firewood Racks
Built Strong for Every Season
Stacking firewood properly is the key to keeping it dry, seasoned, and ready to use when you need it most. At Lipkvich Fabrication, we design and build heavy-duty firewood racks that are built to handle Maine winters and the constant cycle of chopping, hauling, and burning wood.
Unlike flimsy big-box store racks, our fabricated firewood holders are designed for strength, longevity, and ease of use. Whether you’re heating your home with a wood stove, stocking an outdoor fire pit, or managing commercial wood supply, our racks provide a reliable storage solution.
Why Choose a Fabricated Firewood Rack?
-

-
Weather Resistance — With powder coating, galvanization, or natural corrosion-resistant finishes, racks hold up in rain, snow, and ice.
-
Strength — Engineered to support heavy loads without bowing or warping.
-
Organization — Keeps your woodpile neat, elevated, and off the ground.
-
Pest Control — Elevation reduces rot and keeps insects from nesting in damp wood.
