Re: A daft idea for keeping my logs dry
If you take the bottles out and cut them into 6 they fit nicely in the top. You could make sure they dont blow out by shrink wrapping the edge.

Re: A daft idea for keeping my logs dry
Pardon my ignorance but do you have to just cut the plastic bottle apart to remove it? And can the cages be lifted by one man?

Re: A daft idea for keeping my logs dry
We have just started storing logs in IBC crates. We took out the water containers an cut them in half corner to corner and then use these as mini roofs. This gives you about 10cm overlap so the drips fall on the floor an not the logs.

Re: A daft idea for keeping my logs dry
Someone I know has done something similar with a tarp and duct tape, but he's "acquired" one of those supermarket stock trolleys on wheels so he can move his logs about with ease in his limited space.
