Log Baskets

Wicker Log Baskets for Every Fireplace

We stock one of the UK's largest ranges of log baskets, with options to suit everything from compact terraced fireplaces to grand inglenooks. Choose from sturdy square log baskets that sit flush against a wall, traditional oval baskets with hooped handles for easy carrying, kubu rattan in a contemporary mid-tone weave, grey wash wicker for softer schemes, and wheeled log baskets for moving heavy loads without lifting. Most come with a jute or hessian liner that catches loose bark and dust before it reaches your floor.

How to Choose the Right Log Basket

Picking the right basket comes down to a few practical questions. How much wood do you burn in an evening? A medium basket holds enough for a single fire; extra-large baskets keep you supplied for several nights without a trip to the woodshed. Will you carry logs in from outside? Hoop or rope handles make a real difference on heavier loads. Will it sit on a hard floor or carpet? A lined basket is essential either way to protect against splinters and bark debris. Our log baskets buying guide walks through this in more detail.

Creative Uses Beyond Firewood

Log baskets are useful well beyond firewood. Fill one with rolled blankets and throws beside the sofa, use a large basket to conceal the base of a Christmas tree, store children's toys in the playroom, or put one in the conservatory as an oversized planter. Smaller log baskets work well for kindling, pinecones and fire-lighting accessories. Our piece on eight uses for log baskets that aren't firewood has more ideas.

Handwoven in Rattan, Willow and Kubu

Every Wovenhill log basket is handwoven from premium natural materials, including ethically sourced rattan, traditional willow and durable kubu. Each one is made by hand, so you'll see small variations in weave that confirm it's a genuine piece of craft rather than something stamped out in a factory. The breathable weave also keeps firewood ventilated, helping it stay drier and burn cleaner.
