Fantastic new way to store firewood!

[Stereo]

I'm going to try the pallet and stock netting idea this weekend. I've got a couple ash trees down and the plan is to put the empty pallet in the back of the Hilux, log up the tree where it fell and chuck it in, then bobcat it straight off when I'm back to the farm.

Nice one Stereo,

do upload a pic if you can.

If you're short on pallets, another option could be a layer of brash (that would be going on the bonfire anyway) on the ground, to help keep the logs off the soil?

Switch off your JCB Sir.

 

Nope, I’ve quite a few tractors, but no JCB’s. I think you must have imagined seeing one the mythical loch-dwelling tractors. Usually found in putrid, fetid waters, they are characterised by having a Scots pine canoe, (with an empty Irish spirit bottle as it’s maidenhead), firmly attached to the steering column. And they never, ever, have a visible means of propulsion.

or maybe not new to you at all.

I spotted some of these in Finland about 10 years ago and bought the idea back here to Scotland where they seem to have taken root.

it's a simple construction.

4m of stock fencing with ends wired together.

2 tier.

 

A neighbor of mine has built some that are getting on for 10m in diameter.

He deals in wood.

 

I run my house on wood so mine are just wee. I have 11 of them now and I use about 4 per winter.

 

You have to lash the lids pretty tightly here. we get high winds.

If you build one yourself, take care to offer the cover a rounded profile of log or it will chaff through. A forklift palate or similar will keep your logs off the deck.

 

So there you are, everything but the girl could be yours.

 

 

you must of bean along the gorthleck road to see them

No that's Daves place. He's doing wood commercially. I just run my house on it.
