Left untreated and undisturbed, it slowly breaks down into the kind of decaying deadwood that's genuinely rare in tidy modern gardens, but essential for biodiversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne large reclaimed log — approx. 36 x 17cm, 4.5kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% natural, untreated wood — reclaimed rather than freshly felled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach log is unique in shape, bark coverage, and stage of natural weathering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere to put it:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace it in a shady, undisturbed corner of the garden, ideally near shrubs, borders, or under trees where it'll stay damp and shielded. Half-burying one end helps it settle in and speeds up the natural decay process that wildlife relies on. Left in place, it needs no maintenance — just let it weather naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA few things to know:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all reclaimed wood, no two logs are the same — expect natural variation in shape, bark, moss, and colour from the photos. The wood is untreated and will continue to weather and soften outdoors over time; that's exactly what makes it valuable to wildlife, but it does mean it's not intended as structural timber or for indoor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWildlife gardens and rewilding projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnchoring a new log pile habitat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA natural bird perch or insect refuge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGardeners wanting a low-effort way to boost biodiversity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEco-conscious garden gifts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eShipping box: 40 x 40 x 22.5cm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Yard project","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65315404874077,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1046\/9012\/3101\/files\/WhatsAppImage2026-06-18at15.14.56.jpg?v=1784641548","url":"https:\/\/theyardhandcross.co.uk\/products\/habitat-log-36-x-17cm","provider":"The Yard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
