DIY project

Thought I'd post a few pics of last summer's project. These are the 2 smaller stores that are in the garden. I had to keep the roofline short so that the children didn't bang their head's and I didn't want them to protrude above the fence line. They are just over 6' long and hold 2 10" logs deep with a 2" gap between. Due to the roofline restrictions, I made custom fit rain covers.

Be gentle with the comments, I was quite pleased with them!IMAG0192.jpg.dccdc85c4b67e15ad61433c23d5727e4.jpg

I'd be interested to know how much difference the rain covers make to drying speed?

 

The reason that I ask is that one of my log piles is under a shed roof in a very windy location, but it seems that the drips from the roof onto the bottom edge of the stack keep the wood fairly moist despite the strong wind and protection from vertically falling rain... I.e. is it better to be windy and wet or dry but not windy?

Perhaps some mini guttering would help?
