All we did was cover it with a tarp.
I'm fairly certain it's for both, but I can't check because they're in use.
Hellobr>I'm not sure what gauge the steel is, but it's fairly sturdy with a 1/16" thickness and is powder coated for corrosion resistance. I hope this information is useful.

I made these to keep firewood rounds off the ground until I could split them. As the foundation, I used some old 8' 2x4s. I didn't have any problems with the screws, but I understand why others do. We're ready to go with just a few cinder blocks on the ground. I ended up with nine rounds, each weighing around 1500 pounds. I could have gotten more if I had used 4x4s on the ground as a foundation for the rack. br>br>Everything still appears to be in good working order, and I'll be ordering another set as soon as I have more room.
These firewood rack kits are very simple to use and put together. There were no instructions, according to some of the comments. Instructions aren't really necessary because the picture on the box explains everything you need to know. The small size of the screws was mentioned in other comments. It doesn't matter if these screws are big or small because they don't provide much strength to the rack. If you need to pick it up and move it, the screws are only there to keep it together. If you moved, scooted, or adjusted the position without the screws, the rack would fall apart. Use the screws that came with the rack and don't be concerned if they're too small. I have four of these racks on the sidewalk next to my house, and they would work just as well without the screws unless you planned on moving the rack without it falling apart. Two of them are 12 feet long, while the other two are 16 feet long, and they're all stacked with split firewood about 5 feet high. None of them have caused me any problems. These are racks that I strongly suggest. They're ideal for a permanent firewood rack, but they're also suitable for a temporary, easily transportable rack.
Fitting is no longer an option. Before driving screws through the wood, it's a good idea to shim it. If you're a perfectionist like me who values neat corners, don't tighten all the way until you've squared it off. Start by shimming the screws, square them up, and then tighten them. It is well worth the extra effort, as it results in a work of art. I'm going to get a new set.
Cut some composition VCT floor tiles into pieces 3. All 2 x 4 lumber is slightly different in size, mine was smaller=Hint, all 2 x 4 lumber is slightly different in size, mine was smaller=Hint, all 2 x 4 lumber is slightly different in size, mine was smaller 5 inches wide by 1 inch tall 5" wide and used as insert shims in the brackets; the screws go right through the VCT, removing the "loose fit" completely.
I bought two different braces for my firewood rack. One is flimsy and has ridiculously small screws. This device functions similarly to a barbell. Solidly constructed and heavy-duty. I'll buy another of these and return the other. br>It even came with appropriate sized screwsbr>.
Your company's screws should be better. The screws were insufficiently long to provide adequate support. I needed to go to the hardware store and get replacements.
Yes, of course. What's the big deal about getting a few extra screws from the hardware store? Anyway, I stacked 1/2 cord and it appears to work - There are no collapses, and the base is stable, whereas another rack I used (with feet rather than a bar) tipped over.
None of these options were suitable for my requirements. For firewood storage on the side of my house, I either needed something larger or smaller. This enabled me to tailor my firewood stand to my specific needs in order to maximize my firewood storage. There were no problems with the 2x4s fitting. The screws, according to some reviews, aren't up to par, but they don't have to be. The stand and wood provide structural integrity, and the stand itself is sturdy. The screws are only used to keep the wood in place. Don't second-guess yourself; just do it. You will not be dissatisfied with your purchase.
