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

[inthewoods]

Make sure you triple clip the sides & also tension at least 3 bits of rope around them, we have tried it first time this year and its pushing the side way out! if it wasnt for the rope they would of gone pop

 

Cheers, I intend to chain up each corner individually & probably a gurt ratchet strap all way around the middle

Hi all,

Just spotted this thread, obviously not paying attention over Christmas.

We do marquee hire work in the summer months and are in the process of scaling down that side of the business. We use some of the marquees for log storage/ processing and other coppice related work. The attached pics are of of a 6m wide x 6m long Hocker P6 (blue roof) and a P3.66, 3.66m (12') wide x 9m long (white in pic this ones been up for at least 6 years) and they are of course temporary structures.

Any way we've got some for sale in P3.66 (up to 90m total) and P9 (9m span, 4 of at 9m x 15m, or similar up to 60m total), they'll all be white pvc covers and be fully enclosable as per the3.66 in the pic. If you want to check out the spec. for these UK Marquee manufacturer, clearspan marquees & temporary stores for sale, commercial quality, Up to 25m wide - Hoecker Structures (UK) Ltd is the manufacturers website, look under party tents. So if anybody's interested drop me an email: [email protected] . we can deliver and erect as part of the deal.

Apologies mods if this shouldn't be on this bit of the forum.

Ernie.

3mx3mx2m, if your filling it with green (unseasoned) logs will the ones deep inside dry?

I sincerely hope so as it's the only viable way I can do it atm, it's a fairly windy site & each Bay will be filled up in stages, thinking about it I suppose another layer of pallets in the middle wouldn't hurt. Eventually I'll build a wooden structure around it

The reason I ask is this is what I'm trying this year, but the drawbacks are as I say will they dry in the middle, and unless I fill it in one go the first and hopefully driest will be at the bottom. Hopefully someone who has tried this will comment.

Nice one. I was going to stack neatly but lifes too short! So will just be chucking them in loose. How about some pallets placed vertically in the middle of each 'bay' OK you lose a bit of space but it'll increase airflow in the middle.

Never tried the Heras panels but if I did would put 2 IBC crates in the middle and knock the bottom out of the top one so air could circulate inside the stack.

That's what I wish we had done, I recon the center will be a bit mouldy.

I like that idea! Cheers
