Best log saw horse
Updated: 22 October 2026
You have a pile of rounds, a chainsaw, and an amazon.co.uk bestseller list that puts a workshop trestle in the top slot. That list is a poor way to find the best log saw horse, because most of the high places are pairs for doors and sheet, not cradles that grip a trunk. In this capture the best log saw horse for chainsaw rounds is the Oregon 584145, and the best value cradle is the Einhell 4500067 if you will build a kit. Both limits are below. The full twelve-row table, including the trestles, is the [saw horse wood comparison](/hub/forestry-tools/saw-horse-wood). Peter F. read those amazon.co.uk listings and did not run a load test. A qualifying purchase through our links can earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

What best means here
Best, on this page, means a folding cradle for one round at a time, with a grip reviewers recognise and a listing that does not contradict itself on the basic size. It does not mean the number-one product in amazon.co.uk Saw Horses. On the pass behind this research, that crown sat on a BORA Workhorse pair around £90, with the Oregon nearer fifth. Rank there mixes trestles and cradles, so first place is not a log horse.
The prices below are this capture. The Oregon is £39.50 here. Toolstation’s Einhell price is ex VAT, so it is not the amazon.co.uk price of £32.97. If you still need the decision order before a name, use the saw horse buying guide.
Top pick, Oregon 584145
The Oregon 584145, ASIN B01NAIDEE6, is the top pick for chainsaw rounds in this set because 4,130 amazon.co.uk ratings sit at 4.5 and the size claim is coherent. The title and the bullets state a 27 cm maximum. The spec block states 79.83 kg, in line with the maker’s 176 lb line, and the horse weight is 6.63 kg in the spec block and about 7 kg in the bullets. Reviewers say it holds a log, stops it turning, and folds away once the bolts are right. A raised cutting height is described as easier on the back than sawing on the ground.
Skip Oregon 584145 on amazon.co.uk if you will not live with the diagram. A spanner is not in the box, the picture is small, and builds in the sample run from about 30 minutes to several hours, sometimes with a part the wrong way round. Skip it if your rounds are honestly over 27 cm. Skip it if you need three stated working heights. One review says it is less steady on uneven ground. The amazon capture prints no warranty line. The maker’s own page talks about a limited lifetime, and that is a different document from the amazon text.
Best value, Einhell 4500067
The Einhell 4500067, at £32.97, is the best value cradle in this set. The bullets state 150 kg, trunks to 300 mm, and working heights of 600, 640, and 680 mm, plus a 2 year warranty on the listing. The star line is 3.9 from 4,072 ratings. That is a large sample and a clearly lower score than the Oregon. Once the frame is built, reviewers say the serrated rail holds a log and stops it twisting, and they use the three heights for domestic chainsaw cutting.
The skip is the build. The spec field says assembly is not required. The reviews describe a kit, picture-only instructions, bolts that need a second tool, and arms that are easy to fit the wrong way. Brace clips can pop out in use, strut edges are reported as sharp, and the fold is not always as flat as the photos suggest. Do not use the spec triple of 102 × 9.8 × 5.7 cm as the working size. The bullets describe an 80 cm horse. The 150 kg line is a claim, not a test. Einhell 4500067 on amazon.co.uk is the best value cradle if you will spend the time on the bolts and you want the extra diameter and the height steps.
When another cradle is the one
The eSkde ESLH1, at £59.99, is the cradle to consider when the jaws matter more than the size of the review file. It scores 4.6 from 51 ratings, states 150 kg, and describes adjustable jaws and vice-like teeth without a maximum diameter. One owner in the sample put about 3 tonnes through it. Fifty-one ratings will not outvote 4,130, and all sizes is not a millimetre you can check. Buy it for mixed logs if you accept that gap.
The Relaxdays 10029462, at £39.90, scores 4.1 from 889 ratings, states about 150 kg, and folds to about 7.5 cm. It does not state a diameter. Reviewers like the teeth for a log burner, and they also call the frame light. One owner says it bent and stopped holding logs. Take it only if that light fold is what you came for and your wood is ordinary stove rounds. The Harbour single, B0CYHBNJ3M, at £23.99, has three pairs of teeth, no printed load, no printed diameter, and 3.9 from 16 ratings. One of four review texts says the middle strut stops a full cut. That bar-clearance problem belongs on the chainsaw saw horse page.
When a trestle wins instead
A trestle wins when the workpiece is a door, a sheet, or a long board, and you need two supports. The BORA PM-3350T pair leads this capture’s score table as a workshop stand, with 4.7 from 1,470 ratings at £76.74, and it has no log teeth. Buying it because it sits higher in Saw Horses will not hold a wet round. The Stanley plastic pair and the Evolution twin pack are the same kind of answer at a lower price, with their own limits on snaps and loose brackets. Teeth will scar a door. A flat top will let a trunk roll.
If you truly do both jobs, buy the cradle for the chainsaw pile and a pair only if the sheet work is real. Do not ask one frame to be both. How the log goes on the cradle, and where the bar must finish, is the how-to page. A German test grade is not a source for this UK set.
Common questions
Which log horse is the top pick in this set, and why?
The Oregon 584145 is the top pick for chainsaw rounds here. It has 4.5 from 4,130 amazon.co.uk ratings, a stated 27 cm maximum, and a 79.83 kg load line that matches the maker’s 176 lb claim. The limit is the diagram, the missing spanner, and the 27 cm cap. It is not the top pick if your logs are larger than that, or if you need the Einhell’s three height steps.
Which is the better-value cradle if I can live with a lower star score?
The Einhell 4500067 at £32.97. You get a stated 300 mm, heights of 600, 640, and 680 mm, and a 2 year line, against 3.9 from 4,072 ratings and a kit the spec field says you do not have to build. The value is real only if you will assemble it and you will not treat 150 kg as a tested figure. The best value badge sits on this cradle for that reason.
Should I buy the number-one saw horse on Amazon?
Not if the job is a log. On the research pass, the top of Saw Horses was a BORA trestle pair, which is a strong workshop stand and the wrong tool for a round. Bestseller rank is not a lab score, and it mixes two jobs. Read the grip. Teeth or jaws mean a cradle. A flat pair means doors and sheet.
When is eSkde worth more than Oregon?
When you want adjustable jaws for mixed diameters and you can accept 51 ratings and no printed maximum. At £59.99 it costs more than the Oregon and tells you less about the largest log. It is not worth more if you simply want the quieter evidence of 4,130 reviews on a 27 cm horse.
Is Relaxdays a false economy?
It can be. At £39.90 it is close to the Oregon’s price, with 4.1 from 889 ratings, a useful fold, and no diameter. The light-frame complaints, including one horse that bent, are the reason to skip it for heavy trunks. It is reasonable for lighter stove rounds if the thin fold is the point.
Who should skip both cradles and buy a trestle?
Anyone whose next job is a door, a worktop, or a sheet of ply. A cradle’s teeth are a liability on a finished edge, and one cradle will not support a long board at both ends. Use a pair, measure any 2x4 slot against UK timber, and leave the chainsaw cradle for the log pile.
