Protect your wood from frost and moisture

You too your logs are wet? They took frost and frozen several times?


Despite the protection put in place and the location chosen under the awning of the garage, rain certainly had to interfere, wetting the wood. When logs are wet, they burn less easily, evacuate more smoke during the fire and clog your chimney ducts.


Protect your logs with a wooden tarpaulin and raise them from the ground with pallets to keep them dry.

Which tarpaulin to choose to cover your wood?

Your wood is precious, whether for your gardening projects, your firewood stock or your outdoor furniture. However, to keep it in perfect condition, it is essential to choose the right tarpaulin to protect it from the vagaries of the weather. Look no further, BACHES DIRECT is here to offer you the best wooden tarpaulin for your exterior.


Before buying a wood tarpaulin, it is important to consider certain criteria:


  • Material: We recommend PVC tarpaulins, they are robust and waterproof. As for HDPE, it is a more fragile material.
  • Grammage: Grammage is an important criterion. The higher the grammage, the more resistant your tarpaulin will be to the risk of tearing.
  • Eyelets and fasteners: Opt for tarpaulins with solid metal eyelets or fasteners to keep your tarpaulin in place all winter. Even in strong winds.
  • Dimension: Make sure your cover is large enough to cover all of your wood. Exposed wood can be damaged by the weather, and therefore moistened your wood.
  • Color: if you are looking for a discreet tarpaulin, which blends perfectly into your environment, opt for a taupe, green or gray tarpaulin.


In addition, choose a wood tarpaulin with UV protection and reinforced corners. It must be rot-proof, flexible, and easy to clean.
