Keeping logs dry AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!

[simonm]

What Wood have you got in there?

 

I'm keeping the sycamore separately for my own use

 

In 1 it is full of beech which doesn't look so bad but the other does have a lot of syccy in which looks a bit grim.

I have got 4 large open sided sheds that we have built from telegraph poles and steel roof sheets to keep logs dry which work fine, i desperately need more undercover storage but as i am looking to buy my own piece of land am reluctant to make more permanent buildings. We split into ibc's stack them 2 high and line them up, ive tried covering them with various tarpaulin sheets from cheap ones to dear ones, roof sheets strapped down, concrete blocks on top! you name it we have tried it! every time the wind blows bits of it off does anyone have a better way of covering them

 

In your shoes I would not bother covering the outside ones - assuming you start with 4 full sheds start emptying one shed, once you have enough space to get in then start fillling the empty space but leave a gap between old and new - by the time you empty the last shed the first will be fine again.

 

If you are really keen to cover them don't use fibre or plastic sheets - use some second hand corrugated iron well weighed down.

 

Your other option is to get or make (its easy enough) some net to go over your sheeting and tie that down.

i like the look of that, so what sizes you got

 

Hi Carpenter, the hocker frames are a modular system, both th9m wide and 3.66m wide come in 3m sections, if you want bigger you just add another 3m bay.

So we've got anything from 3m to 60m long in the 9m and 3m t0 90m in the 3.66m.

Hope that makes sense

This is the stuff you want!

It let's air through, so the wood can dry and there's no condensation.

As air flows through, it's much less of an issue to keep it in place, it doesn't flap about either.

It sheds water.

It's a non woven fabric (bit like fleece/felt) which makes it quite resistant to tearing, and if it does get damaged, tears don't "run"

It's a fairly neutral colour.

It lasts for years.

It's not too expensive.

I get commission.

 

Unfortunately the last one isn't true...
