We store ours in 2 large barns loose, and then put logs onto bulk bags by hand for order, we do a large volume and doing seasoned logs it's really the easiest way. 

He have a few cages that are full and I also bought 30 vented bags to try out that i havnt even used Yet! Should have filled them up months ago but have been busy and forgot about them

Have you ever seen a potato grower manhandle potatoes?  Knowone has ever made a decent living handling potatoes - well not in the UK.

We have a very similar setup to you. We try and bring the logs into the barn a couple of weeks before we are going to sell them just to dry off the outside logs.

 

If we cant bring them in, we find the outside logs get wet in the rain but just chuck the wet ones into another container and cover. They will be dry again in a few weeks. Generally, we don't have any issues storing them outside.

So how would you suggest we do it then? If we were to cut and split into crates we would need thousands of them and they take up room and cost alot, we would still need to take logs out of cage and put into a bag to sell, besides it takes like 5 to 10 mins to fill a bag up by hand and you can visibly see every log going in so you know it's the right size, fully dry etc.
