The sizes indicated are average and may vary depending on the required size of the bag.
Reference! You can also sew an option like in the picture, it is more durable, but does not look as impressive as the first one.
To create its pattern, you need to cut out a long rectangle cut at the corners, as shown in the figure, and two small strips of fabric, which you need to sew in the future as handles to the main part.

Other options for carrying firewood:
- Metal. This option can be purchased in many stores. You'll have to pay a pretty penny, but this design usually not only looks beautiful, but will last a very long time. If you have a welding machine and the necessary materials, you can do this kind of carrying yourself. But it's better to be careful with welding.
- Wicker. People who are fond of weaving will be able to make such a carrier and it looks quite beautiful. Well, for those who have not done weaving, you can buy it or try to make it yourself, because weaving is a very exciting activity. Wheels are often added to this option, and the result is a universal carrier or a very convenient way to transport firewood.
- Wooden. Like the previous options, the wooden model looks very beautiful and fits into many styles of country houses. Such a carrier can also be found in stores, but it is better to make it yourself or ask someone you know, because a simple version of it is not difficult to make with your own hands.
The summer season will soon bring joy to many city dwellers, and a bag for carrying firewood is perfect for lovers of songs with a guitar around the fire, barbecue or a simple bathhouse. The main thing is that everyone can do it, and there are a lot of benefits from it.
