Best saw horse
Updated: 22 October 2026
You want the best saw horse from this amazon.co.uk capture, and the shelf will not give you one name. A log and a door are different jobs, so a shared 1 in Saw Horses line is not a winner. This page names who each strong listing is for, and who should skip it. The twelve rows, prices in GBP, and review counts are from the listings in our [saw horse comparison](/hub/forestry-tools/saw-horse), captured on 19 October 2026. Peter F. did not run a lab test. A qualifying purchase can earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Stars alone do not move a board horse onto a log.

Best for chainsaw logs in this set
The top pick for chainsaw logs here is the Oregon 584145, at £39.50. It is a painted alloy-steel log horse with serrated teeth and a stated maximum of 27 cm. Across 4,130 amazon.co.uk reviews the line is 4.5, and this capture ranks it 5 in Saw Horses. That is a large UK file for a dedicated log horse, which is why it leads the firewood job even though three trestles score higher on stars alone. The load field prints 79.83 kg and cites no test. Item weight is 6.63 kg while a bullet says 7 kg. Assembly is required, and the spanner is not in the box. One UK review reports uneven legs. Skip it if your stems are over 27 cm, or if you want a twin pack you can open with no tools. Einhell states 300 mm and costs £32.97, but the line is 3.9 from 4,072, and reviews describe a sharp bolt kit while the field says no assembly. Harbour is cheaper still, and it is too thin a file to call a best log horse. How to support the log, and the PPE that a horse does not replace, is on chainsaw saw horse firewood.
Best value for boards and doors
The best value for light boards and doors is the Stanley STST1-70713 polypropylene pair, at £39.95. Across 1,768 amazon.co.uk reviews the line is 4.6. The pair folds flat, the item weight is 6.05 kg, and UK reviews use it for long boards and a simple benchtop. That is a useful price next to a large review file, which is why it takes the value place rather than the cheapest plastic single. It is not a firewood tool. The teeth are not there. Read both load lines before you treat it as heavy duty. The title and the load field say 450 kg. A bullet says the design holds up to 45 kg per pair. Both are printed, and neither is a test in this file. Do not import a different Stanley, such as the FatMax pair a UK shop rates at 1,135 kg, and call it this ASIN. UK reviews also say the tool hooks snap off, and that 38 mm CLS fits the V-grooves at a push, easier if you sand it to 36 mm. Skip this pair for chainsaw logs, and skip it if the hooks have to survive site use. Slot questions belong on the saw horse buying guide.
When the BORA pairs earn the money
Three BORA listings share one 1 in Saw Horses snapshot. That is one rank line copied across three ASINs, not three separate wins. The Speedhorse PM-4500T is the sturdy joinery pair if you will add a 38 by 89 mm sacrificial board and you can spend £139.99. It weighs 17.5 kg. Across 3,484 reviews the line is 4.7, though the written sample mixes countries. The bullet says 1,360 kg per pair and the field says 1,633 kg. UK joinery reviews call the pair sturdy. A UK review had to rout a 4x2 before it entered, another says watch your fingers as the legs close, and the listing does not describe height adjustment. Skip it for firewood, for a tight budget, or if you wanted adjustable legs. The Workhorse XT PM-3360T is the adjustable metal pair, at £90 and 13.7 kg, with 4.5 from 909 reviews. UK reviews praise stiffness under sheet material and complain that the legs fold in a set order and that a UK 4x2 will not enter the end slots. The Workhorse PM-3350T is £76.74 and 11.7 kg, with 4.7 from 1,470. A UK review of this cheaper pair says the legs are not height adjustable. It earns the money when a fixed height is acceptable and you want metal rather than plastic.
What not to call a winner
Einhell is the cheaper log horse, and the 3.9 line from 4,072 reviews is the reason it stays off the top pick. Harbour at £23.99 has 3.9 from 16 reviews, four of them written, no stated load, and one review that says the middle strut stops a full cut. That file is too thin for a best line. Amazon Basics has the largest file here, 4.5 from 8,402, at £47.23, and UK reviews use the pair for doors and boards. The table says metal and the reviews say plastic, so it is a light ready-folded pair, not a settled steel winner. Evolution at £44.98 has 4.6 from 970 and a title load of up to 500 kg, with no material, weight, or size in the saved listing. A missing spec table is a reason to leave it off a shortlist until you can see one. A higher kilogram claim is not the winner. The Speedhorse's 1,633 kg field does not beat Oregon at a job Oregon is built for. Roughneck's 4.7 from 40 is a strong single steel trestle for doors, timber, and 15 or 22 mm pipe, and forty reviews is still a modest sample. Buy the Oregon if the timber is a log within 27 cm and you will assemble it. Buy the Stanley pair if the timber is a board or a door and you have read 450 kg and 45 kg.
Common questions
What is the best saw horse for chainsaw logs in this set?
The Oregon 584145, at £39.50, with teeth and a stated 27 cm maximum. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.5 from 4,130 reviews. Skip it if the stem is wider than 27 cm or you will not assemble it. Einhell states 300 mm and costs less, at £32.97, but the line is 3.9 from 4,072 and the assembly field disagrees with the reviews. Harbour is not a best pick on 16 ratings. A horse still does not replace chainsaw PPE or training.
What is the best light pair for doors and boards?
The Stanley STST1-70713 pair at £39.95, with 4.6 from 1,768 reviews, if you accept polypropylene and you read both load lines. The title says 450 kg and a bullet says 45 kg per pair. UK reviews use it for boards and a benchtop, and they say the hooks snap off. Amazon Basics is the larger review file and the material line is disputed. Evolution folds small in reviews and has no spec table in this capture. None of these three is a log horse.
Is the BORA Speedhorse the number one saw horse?
No. It is the joinery pair in this set if you will fit a 38 by 89 mm board and you can carry 17.5 kg at £139.99. The 4.7 from 3,484 reviews is a strong file, and the 1 in Saw Horses line is shared with the Workhorse and the XT, so it is not three wins. The legs are not described as height adjustable. A UK review had to ease a 4x2 into the slot. For logs, it is the wrong shape.
Why not the Einhell if it is cheaper than the Oregon?
Einhell is £32.97 against Oregon at £39.50, and it states 300 mm rather than 27 cm, with three heights. The star line is 3.9 from 4,072, against Oregon's 4.5 from 4,130. UK reviews describe a bolt kit and sharp struts, while the attribute says assembly is not required. That conflict, not the price, keeps it off the top pick. Choose it only if you need the wider stated trunk and you will build the kit. The best value place sits on the Stanley trestle for boards.
Does 4.7 from 3,484 beat 4.5 from 4,130?
Only for a similar job. The 4.7 from 3,484 is the Speedhorse, a trestle. The 4.5 from 4,130 is the Oregon, a log horse. A higher star line on a board horse does not cross-cut a log. Roughneck is also 4.7, from 40 reviews, which is a much smaller sample. Read the count beside the stars, and read the type. Our score follows the star line and does not pretend the jobs are the same.
Which horse should I skip if I only cut firewood?
Skip every trestle: Stanley, Evolution, Amazon Basics, both B2C stands, Roughneck, and all three BORA pairs. They are for boards, doors, sheets, or pipe, not for gripping a round stem. Among the log horses, skip Harbour unless you have checked that the centre strut leaves a path for the bar. Skip Einhell if you will not build the kit. The Oregon is the one to keep if 27 cm covers your wood.
