Vented tonne bags ?

[mixedangased]

Now that is interesting. I have just sent out some Ash/Syc that I processed about the same time, green vented bags under a dutch barn closed on one side only. Perfect logs, even after a bit of snow on the top.

 

Only downside I can see with these fully vented bags is a tendency to bulge at the mesh sides. I put mine in a 5 foot trailer, the bag should be 44 inches wide, I do have a bit of side space left but not a lot. That suggests a 5 inch or so bulge each side and thats on the denser meshed sides, not had one split yet but am concerned about sending 1.2 + cube out in one !!.

They seem to stack better with a pallet between them.

Don't stack them on top of each other, if u straddle them they staCk a bit better 3 high if that makes sence.

I've started using them recently and get them from MCA Kingstone. Use a mixture of 0.5 cube & 1 cube bags

I used to use bags but have gone onto a 1m3 tipping skip. I found customers are getting wiser as to the whole dumpy bag vs cube and price per volume. So i decided to do away with the bags and use a set measure. Also the amount we spent on bags compared to how many we got back.

The floor of my main barn is soil and has a slight slope forwards on it. I put the first course on pallets to allow air underneath. The problem I then have using pallets for the next course is getting them level and even then due to the contents in teh lower bag not being perfectly flat getting point contact so that all the weight is on several given points rather than accross the whole pallet, this does not do the pallets any good, most break.

 

Currently I am stacking two high, one on top of the other then due to the roof I intend to try and put a third on top. As the floor slopes forward I have to build a layer in front of where I am going 2 or 3 high to prevent a forward collapse. My other barn has a concrete floor, 3 high one on top of the other is safe and reasonably ok, just an issue to climb up and hook the loops up when you want one out.
