Firewood Cage From Reinforcing Mesh

[Steve Bramwell]

Can’t be any heavier than those euro pallets either 😂

Think though as I’ve got them at the moment based on the helpful suggestions I’ll do the following 

Put 3 down off the ground as a base

Put one on each end held by diagonal braces front and back

Fix a back with mesh and make a removable mesh front

Then all I will have left to do is get the axes out as I’ve still to invest in a splitter😂

Should give me almost a cord of storage if I pile a bit higher than the top based on my rudimentary calculations and be very similar to the hepful suggestions given, thanks everyone

I just use whatever wire I have laying about and staple or tie wire it onto the pallet. Tied together with the wire, pig rings or tie wire. Got a few IBCs but find them a pain to unload. H

I like the basic concept of Steven P's diagram, and following on from other pictures, I wonder if portability is a high priority? Some of them don't look built to be thrown about by a teleporter who's in a rush to get down the pub for a swift one. 🙂

I wonder if Steven's basic design could be adapted to minimise wire usage, at the expense of active drying area? I can't do pretty diagrams, but imagine if a line of his model were created. Basically, just adding three meshes to his first one, ad infinitum? You could then just use one piece of mesh for the back, and you'd still have separate sections. 

Downsides are it would be a permanent fixture, and less efficient at drying. Just a thought.

So basically a metal mesh on top of a pallet that won't rot.

 

So basically an IBC, there was a guy on YouTube that even cut out one rung section on the front for access.
