Ash Crates, Ready to Burn certified.
(WS identifier varies with supplier)
External crate dimensions:
1.10m wide x 0.85m deep x 1.20m high.

If you have the space to store and keep it dry, a crate is the most cost effective method of purchasing quality RTB branded logs. The crate contains tightly packed premium Kiln Dried Ash Logs with a saving of around £80 against purchasing the equivalent volume of our 60ltr Ash sacks.   Ash (and Oak) are widely regarded as the best hardwoods for burning. These logs will burn around 30% longer than birch.  You will be purchasing a Winters worth of high quality fuel.

Ash is denser, hence harder to light than other hardwoods but will last much longer once alight.  Buy with Homefire Sacks (Birch) to get your stove up to heat before adding Ash  to reduce the stove reloading times.

Loose delivery and dumpy bags.  The price and quality of log crates cannot be compared to logs delivered loose or in dumpy bags. These can be of an unspecified variety, including softwoods; low quality (>20% moisture); up to twice the volume of crated logs; and have to be stacked at your premises.

Delivery Options

There are two methods for delivery:

• ABOC deliver and Tip the Logs (with assist options)
  
• Haulier Delivery, by a larger wagon with tail lift.

Currently, ABOC deliver to NE, SR and DH postcodes only.

Tip my logs

• We will check your property on Google Maps for accessibility and discuss any potential issues before delivery
  
• Day and approximate time will be agreed with you beforehand. If it is raining on the day, we will rearrange
  
• Van MUST be able to be parked on your drive or kerbside very close to your property
• The crate will be opened and logs tipped immediately outside the van
• The crate can be left for you to chop up and use or be taken away
• Option 1 "Move my Logs", £10 - Our delivery driver will barrow the logs a short distance (no more than 8 metres) and tip the logs in front of your storage area (excludes stacking).  Path MUST BE over even ground with no obstacles for the barrow.
  
• Option 2 "Stack my Logs", £20 - As Option 1 and we will also stack the logs in your store.  As above, dependant on accessibility and any time constraints in our busy Winter period.

Haulier Delivery

ABOC do not have the facility to unload the 500kg (approx) crates intact from our 3.5tonne vans.  If the crate needs to be kept intact or moved any appreciable distance, we need to use a haulier with a tail gate facility.

The haulier will contact you to arrange delivery.  They are contracted to deliver kerbside as close as possible to your home and will move the crate onto your property if the pallet truck permits.  Read our Haulier Delivery Page for more information on delivery of these crates.
