St. Eloi started with a simple problem in a new home.

We're a family of five living on the Matakana Coast, and a few years back we built our first house. It had an indoor fireplace — something we'd looked forward to for a long time. When the first load of firewood got delivered we went looking for a way to store it that looked considered and had some real visual presence — not just functional, but a piece that would stand out. We wanted a feature piece, something that would hold the wood and hold its own in our new home.

We couldn't find one. Plenty of wood stackers were purely functional, and a few were decorative, but nothing struck the right balance of design and quality that we were after. So we decided to make our own.

That first stacker became the starting point for St. Eloi. We built it in Corten Steel, chosen for the way it weathers over time and for its strength, and now every piece is designed and made right here in New Zealand on the Matakana Coast.

So what began as a solution to our own problem has grown into a small range of wood stackers for other peoples homes and fireplaces. We're still guided by the same idea we started with: a wood stacker should be both beautiful and functional and made to stand the test of time.

FAQ

CORTEN STEEL vs BLACKENED STEEL
When exposed to the elements Corten Steel will develop a natural rusty paint over time which naturally seals the steel and keeps corrosion to a minimum. Its highly durable and requires no maintenance or further treatments. Its an earthy rustic looks that blends naturally with outdoor landscapes. It can be used indoors or outdoors.

Blackened Steel on the other hand is steel that has been heat treated so that it develops rich black and blue tones which are then sealed with a wax to protect it. Its best suited to indoor life as the steel will still rust over time and require re-waxing.

HOW DO I INSTALL MY STACKER?
For safety reasons the stackers must be mounted against a wall using the fixing points. Due to the size and weight we recommend that this is done by a registered builder.

DO WE MAKE CUSTOM SIZED STACKERS?
Absolutely! If you have a certain size or shape in mind we can make a custom stacker for you. Lead time for these are 2-3 weeks. Please email orders@sainteloi.co.nz with your specifications and we will get back to you.
Care & Maintenance

Corten Steel requires no maintenance and will start to develop a natural rusty patina almost immediately.  A dense, mature, and protective dark orange-brown patina will be fully formed by around 6 months.

Blackened Steel is suitable for indoor use only. It is finished with a wax seal to  prevent rusting that will need to be re-applied periodically. If you notice any small rust spots appearing you can remove these with a scotchbrite and then wipe with a dry rag.
