What's the best way to season milled pieces? Stack in the open or covered?

I tend where possible to 'rebuild' the tree, in the open, on the shady side of the field. I then put some ply on the top with weights on to keep it flat. This gives really good air flow but stops rain from landing directly on the cut surfaces.

Spent the afternoon milling the first of six 8 inch square larch posts using a small log mill and a mini mill, which will be used to build a drying/storage shed for my milled boards. A bit waney on two corners, but plenty strong enough for a 15 foot square structure.....! The larch trees were felled a few years ago on a neighbours land and there is more than enough for the structure and cladding. Struggled a bit to get it square because the first cut wasn't straight enough, but I trimmed it all round a second time with the mini mill and it is fine. A spare time project so it will probably take a few weeks/months to mill all the timber that I need.
