Breathable mesh bags for firewood, kindling, green waste, potatoes, and onions. The ventilated mesh structure improves airflow to help reduce moisture and support faster drying during storage and transport. Made from strong Leno woven polypropylene with a practical drawstring closure for easy handling.
Breathable Leno mesh bags for firewood and kindling. The open mesh structure allows air to circulate freely — wood dries faster, stays drier, and is ready to burn sooner.
A net bag is a lightweight mesh bag made from Leno woven polypropylene — a strong open-weave material that allows air to pass freely through every side. Unlike solid plastic bags or standard woven PP sacks, the mesh structure creates continuous ventilation around the contents, so firewood and kindling continue to dry naturally after bagging.
Both bags come with an integrated drawstring closure for easy filling and secure transport. The material is UV stabilised and weather resistant — suitable for both indoor storage and outdoor stacking.
🌬️ What makes Leno weave different?
Unlike standard woven polypropylene — where threads are tightly woven together to create a solid surface — Leno weave creates a stable open mesh structure. Each crossing point is locked in place, allowing the openings to remain intact even when the bag is fully loaded. The result is a bag that is strong, maintains its shape under load, and breathes through every surface.
Why Ventilation Matters for Firewood
Without airflow, moisture builds up inside a bag. For firewood, that trapped moisture keeps the wood damp, increases mould risk, and reduces burning quality. Net bags prevent this by creating continuous passive airflow around every log.
🔥 Wood dries faster
The Leno mesh creates a natural chimney effect — warm, moist air rises and escapes through the top while cooler, drier air enters from below. This passive airflow actively accelerates the drying process during storage.
✅ Ready to Burn compatible
Net bags allow firewood to continue drying toward and below the 20% moisture threshold. Sealed bags trap moisture and can push certified wood fuel back above the limit during storage.
🚫 No mould risk
A standard PP bag traps moisture, creating the damp conditions mould needs. In a net bag, moisture escapes freely — mould has nowhere to take hold.
👁️ Contents fully visible
Logs are fully visible through the mesh — customers can see exactly what they are buying. The standard choice for firewood retail displays at farm shops and fuel merchants.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The breathable Leno mesh allows air to circulate around the logs, helping moisture escape naturally during storage. This supports the drying process and reduces the risk of mould — which is why net bags are the standard choice for firewood retail and seasoning storage.
Yes. The mesh keeps logs fully visible so customers can see what they are buying, while the drawstring makes each bundle easy to carry and transport. Net bags are the industry standard for firewood retail — used by fuel merchants, farm shops, petrol station forecourts, and online firewood suppliers.
The 30L (45×60cm) is ideal for kindling bundles and smaller log quantities — lightweight and easy to handle for retail display or home use. The 40L (50×72cm) is better suited for larger firewood quantities, regular household use, and bulk retail bundles.
Yes. Net bags are durable enough for multiple uses when used for dry goods such as firewood or kindling. Store them out of direct sunlight when not in use to maximise lifespan — the PP material is UV stabilised but prolonged UV exposure will reduce the service life of any polypropylene product.
Yes. The polypropylene material is moisture resistant and UV stabilised — suitable for outdoor conditions. For long-term firewood storage, placing the bags under cover or against a sheltered wall is recommended to maximise drying and protect the bag from prolonged UV exposure.
