We're thrilled to share that Cordwood Covers was recently featured on firewood-for-life.com, a trusted resource for firewood enthusiasts and woodstove users. The feature highlighted our product in their comprehensive guide on how to build a Holz Hausen—a traditional round woodpile design that maximizes airflow and storage efficiency.
Why the Holz Hausen Method Works
The Holz Hausen is an excellent way to stack firewood because its circular design promotes natural air circulation, allowing wood to season faster and more evenly. The structure's shape also sheds water effectively, protecting your firewood investment from the elements. Firewood-For-Life.com walks through the step-by-step process, sharing valuable insights into why this stacking method has been used for generations.
Our Second Generation Cordwood Cover
Since that feature was published, we've upgraded our product line with our second generation Cordwood Cover, released in early 2020. This enhanced cover is constructed from heavy-duty, UV-protected 360 GSM PVC with integral rip-stop reinforcement—the same durable material used by truckers to secure loads on flatbed trucks. This upgrade ensures your firewood stays protected from UV damage, moisture, and wear, season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Holz Hausen?
A Holz Hausen is a traditional round woodpile design that promotes excellent air circulation and water drainage. Its circular shape allows firewood to season faster and protects it from the elements more effectively than standard stacking methods.
