Sheet Mesh Wood Piles

[Haironyourchest]

 Pulled a windblown tree out of a marsh with my little tirfors recently, guy wanted it crosscut and stacked and this is what I came up with. We bought three 8x4 panels for €75 total, and made an open box, 8' wide and 4' tall. This was going to be far too big, so we cut the panels down to make two smaller boxes. I put several wire stays in as I filled them, to stop the bulging. On reflection, I might have been better to bend the panels onto a circle, more volume per panel. Handy things, never rust, light to move around, stores flat, zip-tied together they easily modified.

Pallet or something at the bottom to keep the logs off the ground? Look good though.

I had the same idea. I used gabion baskets from the crowd below. With a wrinkly tin roof it should last 50 plus years...

 

The only drawback is that I find it hard to access logs at the bottom. It's probably an idea to keep one side lower so you can step into it.

I have used stock fencing stapled  onto a pallet before now when the shed is full it works ok

dunno about the gabions for wood ..but i love the gabion fencing idea...(on that site)

I use 120cm high stock fencing on pallets. 1m diameter give you 1m3 and you can get 12 or 13 from a 50m roll, so it works out about £4 per container

We have been doing this for years, heras fence wire on a pallet laced up with baler twine so you can undo and get logs out then lace up again and reuse, also smaller ones made from stock fence wire, then when they are nice and dry stack in the shed ready for winter, and repeat until shed is full, simples.

Stock fencing for crates. Cheap as chips especially if local farms are renewing their fencing.

Do you have any issues with condensation on the corrugated roofing during colder weather?

it all looks spick and span and you must have time to sit down with the chairs
