Tools and Hardware Reviews of Seymour 30-360 Steel Stack-It Brackets Set

Customer Review: No brainer
Summary: 4 Stars

Excellent product. We keep our firewood in the sunroom during the winter. The bracket set allows us to easily break the rack down to store away until the next winter when not in use. Why spend more for permanent stands that just take up room?? Also, this is pretty much a lifetime product. Probably the only thing you'd have to replace over the years are a few 2x4's. Great buy.

Customer Review: Second order!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the second time I've purchased these brackets. My yard looks so much better with the wood piled neat I had to get another for the rest of the wood and and extra set to make a new compost pile.

Customer Review: Seymour 30-360 Stack It Brackets
Summary: 4 Stars

Brackets worked out very well for outdoor stacking of firewood. Used pressure treated 2 x 4s (8 feet long at base) and built the height to 5 feet (only 4 feet is recommended for height). To give added strength I added a 2 x 4 cross piece (from left over scrap) at the top of each end and then added 2 - 8 foot boards on top of the cross pieces. With the top boards the unit is very solid. My wife says the structure looks like a bunk bed.
The addition to the top not only gives the overall structure more strength, but I now have a surface to store kindling on and a tarp will fit over the whole thing more neatly during the winter.

Note: The instructions recommend a cross piece UNDER the bottom span to help support the wood stack. I would make this mandatory, especially since I am building mine 1 foot higher than recommended (wood is very heavy). I am actually thinking of using 2 equally spaced supports under the bottom span in future builds just in case.
If you have spare pressure treated 4 x4s lying around you could use them for the bottom cross pieces in the brackets as well as the span supports. That probably would help extend the life of the structure by raising it farther above ground.

Definitely recommend these brackets. I have ordered 5 more to finish stacking the 3+ cords of wood I have. I really like the flexibility these brackets offer so I can vary the design as needed.
