Fir Wood Rack 58x39x21cm – Storage and Drying for Fruits, Vegetables and Plants

This natural fir rack measures 58x39x21 cm and is reinforced with metal brackets to ensure long-term stability. Its open-slatted structure allows optimal air circulation around stored produce — an essential condition for effective preservation of fruits and vegetables without moisture build-up. It can be used laid flat for storage, or tilted slightly to facilitate the drying of aromatic plants, nuts and mushrooms.

Versatile, it is equally suitable for the kitchen and worktop as for the cellar, larder or garage. Untreated fir guarantees safe food contact.

Usage Tips

For storing fruits and vegetables: place the rack in a cool, dry spot away from direct light. Do not stack fruits more than two layers deep — the weight and lack of air accelerate rotting. Regularly remove any damaged items. Avoid storing apples and potatoes together: the ethylene released by apples causes the tubers to sprout.

For drying: arrange aromatic plants, nuts or mushrooms in a single layer on the rack, in a dry and well-ventilated spot. A slight angle helps residual moisture drain away.

Maintenance

Wipe with a dry cloth after each use. If product residues have become embedded in the slats, use a dry brush. Avoid placing the rack in direct contact with standing water — untreated fir is a class 1 timber, sensitive to prolonged moisture. Leave to air dry between uses.

WoodUp Tip

To stack several racks and multiply storage capacity, place small wooden battens at the corners between layers — this creates additional ventilation space between levels and prevents products on top from crushing those below. Three racks stacked with battens form a compact and efficient storage unit for a cellar or larder.

Worth knowing before buying: fir can develop a slight patina when in contact with acidic fruits (lemons, citrus fruits) — this is a natural reaction of the wood, with no impact on the food. For intensive wet use, apply a coat of food-grade linseed oil to the slats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can several racks be stacked?

Yes. The racks can be stacked directly or with intermediate battens to create a ventilation gap between levels. Direct stacking is suitable for dense storage; intermediate battens are better for drying or storing delicate produce.

Is this rack suitable for drying aromatic herbs?

Yes. The open-slatted fir structure is ideal for drying aromatic herbs (thyme, lavender, mint, rosemary). Arrange the stems in a single layer, ensuring air circulates freely around them. Place in a dry spot, away from light and moisture, for drying in 1 to 3 weeks depending on the species.

What is the difference from the 3-crate vegetable store?

The rack is an open surface laid flat — ideal for display, drying and thin-layer storage. The 3-crate store is a piece of furniture with sides and castors — suited to bulk storage of potatoes, onions and provisions. The two complement each other well in an organised cellar or larder.

Is untreated fir safe in contact with food?

Yes. Untreated fir contains no chemicals — it is perfectly suitable for direct food contact. However, avoid prolonged contact with standing water, which would encourage the development of mould on the wood itself.

Is this rack suitable for use in a damp cellar?

It is suitable for a ventilated cellar with normal relative humidity (60–70%). For a very damp cellar (condensation on walls, rate> 80%), opt for a more moisture-resistant timber or apply food-grade linseed oil to all surfaces of the fir before use.
