Protect Your Seasoned Wood with Custom Holz Hausen Covers


The Challenge of Protecting Circular Wood Piles

The Holz Hausen, or "wood house," is an efficient traditional method for seasoning firewood in a circular stack, but its unique conical shape makes it incredibly difficult to shield from the elements. Standard square or rectangular tarps are ill-suited for this geometry, leading to unsightly "bunched" material that catches the wind and creates pockets where rainwater pools. When water infiltrates the top of the stack, it trickles down into the core, causing rot, promoting mold growth, and reversing the seasoning process. For the Holz Hausen to function correctly, the top must be shedding water effectively while the sides remain open for airflow; without a dedicated circular cap, your fuel source remains vulnerable to saturation.

Precision-Tailored Shielding for Conical Stacks

Our custom Holz Hausen covers provide a professional-grade solution designed to fit the specific diameter and peak of your circular wood pile. Manufactured from high-tensile, reinforced vinyl, these covers offer a 100% waterproof and UV-resistant barrier. As a specialized part of our storage covers range, each cover is precision-cut to provide a "cap" that protects the top tiers of your wood while allowing the sides to breathe, essential for the natural seasoning process. This drum-tight fit ensures that water sheds off instantly and wind cannot loft the cover. Featuring reinforced seams and industrial fastening options, such as weighted edges or grommets, these covers provide a secure environmental seal that remains flexible even in sub-zero winter temperatures.

Strategic Benefits of Custom Holz Hausen Protection

  • Optimized Seasoning Environment: Protecting the critical top layers from rain and snow while maintaining the stack's natural airflow to ensure bone-dry wood for the hearth.
  • Structural Stability and Wind Resistance: Eliminating the excess material found in generic tarps, reducing wind drag and preventing the cover from shifting or blowing away during storms.
  • Advanced UV and Puncture Resistance: Utilizing industrial PVC that resists sun-bleaching and prevents sharp split logs from piercing the protective barrier.
  • Pest and Debris Mitigation: Deterring birds and nesting rodents from making a home in the top of your stack, keeping your firewood cleaner and safer for indoor use.

Common Questions


Which material should I choose?

If you are trying to choose between the 18oz and 12oz vinyl materials, please choose based on your environment. For regular weather conditions, 12 oz. vinyl is a great material at a slightly less expensive price. If you are going to experience heavy weather conditions such as heavy snow, heavy rain, and lots of wind, then please choose the 18 oz. vinyl material.

What is the most common material?

The 18 ounce vinyl is used to make 90% of the covers ALCO offers. Even though both materials are equally strong and look the same, the majority of customers pick the thicker material.

Are they easy to clean?

Yes. Contrary to other polyester covers that resemble canvas, vinyl is a material that is extremely slick and is therefore simple to clean. Canvas will capture and hold mold and stains that are difficult to remove, as opposed to the sleek ALCO Vinyl custom furniture covers.

How strong are the covers?

18 oz vinyl is a very strong and long-lasting material, in fact, it is the same material that is used on the semi trailers to cover their cargo! As you can imagine, the abuse the material can endure on the highway is extreme, and if they didn't hold up, the truckers would not use them. That is why 18 oz vinyl is one of the strongest covers that you can purchase.

My cover will be used indoors. Which material is ideal?

The 600D material is the perfect material for indoors or even outdoors if its mostly in the shade and not in harsh conditions.

Common Questions

Holz Hausen Covers — Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Holz Hausen cover and why use one?

It’s a custom round cover designed to protect your circular “Holz Hausen” firewood stack from rain, snow, UV, and wind so wood seasons properly and stays clean.

Which material should I choose: 12oz or 18oz vinyl?

Choose 12oz for mild climates or partial shelter; choose 18oz for full outdoor exposure, high wind, heavy rain/snow, and maximum durability.

How do I measure for the best fit?

Measure the diameter (A), the overall stack height (B), and desired skirt drop (C). We add ease on width/length, not height.

What tie-down options keep the cover secure in wind?

We offer webbing straps with side-release buckles, a drawcord hem, grommets for bungees, and optional weighted hems.

Will a skirt trap moisture around the stack?

Add vent patches and leave a small gap near ground level. Always stack seasoned wood with airflow paths to minimize condensation.

Is the vinyl waterproof and UV resistant?

Yes. Both 12oz and 18oz reinforced vinyl skins are waterproof and UV-rated with welded/reinforced hems for long outdoor life.

How do I clean the cover?

Wipe with mild soap and water; avoid abrasive brushes and bleach. The slick vinyl surface sheds dirt and pollen easily.

Can I add a zipper or split to access the stack?

Yes—select cover splits and/or zippers for quick access without fully removing the cover.

Can you match my outdoor décor with specific colours?

Standard colours include Black, Brown, Blue, White, Tan, Red, Navy, Yellow, Olive, and Gray. Ask us about custom colours for branding.

Do you make covers for very large stacks?

Yes—provide diameter and height. For oversized diameters, we may panel the top for strength and add extra tie-down points.

What’s the typical lead time and warranty?

Standard fabrication is 10–12 work days after o
