Do any of you dry logs in containers made of Weldmesh Panels?

Isn't that just a " pile " with Herras fencing round it ?

Yes and it will be bulging all kind of shapes by the time it's half full, when I stored logs that way I used plenty of clips on each corner and still had to lash lorry straps around it try to keep it in shape.

Knowing how flimsy those things are I'd love to see a filled one splitting apart like a sandcastle.

 

Anyone keeping that much wood really needs to use IBCs, an 8ft cube is going to be wet through in the centre.

There are scaffold poles driven down the sides for support, which also support a scaffold tin roof easily once filled. 
 

Method in the madness 😉

Even though you have put the mesh on the inside it will still breakaway from the frame causing it to go out of shape.

Just stick a rope all around like rings on a barrel....

It works just fine for a cheap bulk log store. 
 

mind you, it was better when panels were a tenner not £35 each!!!

I was buying IBC cages for 16 delivered last year.

Fair enough, post a picture when it's half full without strapping it up?
