I absolutely love the look of all the firewood stacked here but how do you prevent termites or carpenter ants from infesting the room, especially with the wood in the ceiling, window frames. I assume these are al treated but I had termite infectation even with treated wood.

We have a hanging chair but it is rattan and has a base (which i think is ideal since you can move it around the room easily)

@vollyballer2:
If you are concerned about insects, the wood could be sprayed with an insecticide or you don’t bring it into the house until you are going to burn it.

Thanx for the response.....but we tried both of those method and really got burned with termites and carpenter ants. Granted, it may have been doomed from the start becuz the terrain around the house was very woodsy. I don't know the location of this house, with the logs inside. I am in a different house now, w/o a fireplace and I miss it soooo much but I have instant recall about the infestation we had...we even lost the whole framing around the garage door, and that was all treated wood. I suspect that when you are in an area like we were, there is no way to fight the neighborhood insect population and win.

Never a good idea to store wood inside. NEVER.....

This is such a lovely room, really enhanced by the logs. Firewood storage is problematic, granted. However styling with natural logs is so beautiful, earthy and warm! To achieve a similar effect, our decorative logs (dry, clean and insect free) could be a solution. Find us here:
