Firewood storage and/or transport bag

Abstract

A firewood storage and transport bag and method of use thereof, the bag comprised of a combination of solid panels and mesh panels wherein the solid panels and mesh panels are stitched together in order to form the storage and transport bag having a cubic shape in use. The bag comprises a front and rear panel that extend above the side panels to fold over to enclose the interior space of the bag and engage a closure mechanism to provide a rectangular bag for storage and transport of firewood therein. The bag has handles that allow for ease of carrying the bag and the bag is reusable.

1 . A firewood storage and transport bag comprised of a combination of solid panels and mesh panels wherein the solid panels and mesh panels are stitched together in order to form the storage and transport bag having a cubic shape in use. 
     
     
         2 . The bag of  claim 1  and further comprising a pair of handles positioned near an opening of the bag. 
     
     
         3 . The bag of  claim 2  and further comprising a closure mechanism for the opening of the bag, the closure mechanism comprising hook and loop fastener. 
     
     
         4 . The bag of  claim 1  wherein the solid panels are comprised of a different material than the mesh panels and wherein the solid panels are sewn at one or more locations to the mesh panels forming a seam where the panels are joined. 
     
     
         5 . A firewood storage and transport bag having a solid front panel, a solid rear panel, and a solid base panel with two opposing side panels, wherein each of the two opposing side panels are comprised of an open mesh material, and wherein the bag has an open top that is securable in a closed position via a closure mechanism positioned at upper ends of the solid front panel and solid rear panel. 
     
     
         6 . The bag of  claim 5  wherein the two opposing side panels are open mesh side panels having a height that is less than a height of the solid front panel and solid rear panel such that upper ends of the solid front panel and solid rear panel may fold over an interior space defined in part by dimensions of the solid base panel and be secured to otherwise with the closure mechanism to form a rectangular shaped closed bag. 
     
     
         7 . The bag of  claim 5  wherein the solid front panel, the solid rear panel, and/or the solid base panel are comprised of a sheet of polypropylene. 
     
     
         8 . The bag of  claim 5  and further comprising a pair of handles positioned on an upper end of the bag for carrying of the bag. 
     
     
         9 . A method of transporting firewood in a reusable bag comprising:
 providing the reusable bag constructed from a sheet of polypropylene forming a front panel, a base panel, and a rear panel and having two opposing side panels formed of an open mesh material wherein the side panels are connected to the front panel, base panel and rear panel via seams;   expanding an interior space of the bag by flatting the base panel;   placing one or more pieces of firewood into the interior space; and   folding upper edge lengths of each of the front panel and the rear panel over the interior space and firewood therein and coupling terminal edges of the upper edge lengths of each of the front panel and rear panel to one another to close the bag over the firewood therein,   wherein when closed, the bag is rectangular in shape and supports a firewood load therein of up to 30 lbs.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9  and further comprising stretching the side panels when loading firewood therein to fill the interior space and strengthen seams between the side panels and the front, panel, base panel and rear panels.
