Drying split wood inside - advice needed!

if you stack them only 1 pallet deep against the sides ( both sides ) then perhaps  2-3  high then I am sure it will be fine ...esp if doors can be left open as much as possible .......I have shed envy !!

Thanks for the photos.  Even if those vents are all open it is nowhere near enough ventilation for drying fresh cut logs.  To finish drying part dried logs may be OK.  If you fill that shed with fresh logs  the roof will drip with condensation after a cold night.  Having said that if it is a spud store it should be well insulated.

 

Great looking shed though, just seems a shame you can't get some space next to it to do the outdoor drying.

Nice shed though ! It’s seems almost a shame to use as a log shed

They’re open for half hour a day I suppose while things get moved around.

Hmm maybe I’ll have to find somewhere else to put them. Having said that they have seemed to get down to low 30’s in the space of 2/3 months.

I could stick cord and cut logs out in the open for a few months and bring them in down the line but they’d be uncovered and I’m not sure if that’s better or worse.

That's a quality shed so consider filling it with a quality product. Sawn timber should be dried slower than firewood and the lesser airflow inside might be better matched to it. You could extract more value from arb arisings (or waste, acquired stock etc, depending on what your accountant tells you) than you currently are too. What does end up as logs can go outside. Rain does very little harm compared to the benefits of airflow and sun.

Looks a good shed for a cannabis farm? Just need to fiddle with the electric meter?

 

 

 

Crap for drying logs though.

Mega building - out of interest what sort of rent do you pay for that per month? Rude question but am genuinely interested...

Looks like you have a small amount of wood in a large building so you maybe getting away with it.  Drying outside is fine, put some pallets on the floor to lift them off the ground and cover with a sheet (only the top, leave the sides open) and they will dry nicely.
