Wood Store Question - Newbie

[Burley]

A decent log store is in the planning, I have cleared a 3m x 2m side of the garden, and going to get a Saltbox style shed put up there, in time.

 

however, right now, need to load up on wood for this season just round the corner, and bring in wet stuff to season for next year. By this time next year, hopefully, will have a pretty nice built log store, with hat and slatted sides on it.

 

The shed is to ride me out for 1 or 2 seasons at the most.

I was just wondering how many holes or slats to remove on it without colapsing the silly thing, and still get enough air to circulate in this damp weather we have.

if you really wanted to use the shed i would have just taken the door off its hinges leave open to allow air in. or just stack against house

if youve already cut holes it wont be detrimental

Ahhh cool, that makes me feel better, ta Logbaron.

Got holes, double doors on it will be open all day / night in good weather or closed when chucking it down, like today !

Remove timbers on 3 sides and remove the door. A log store is not too bothered by rain as long as the top is covered.

Green with envy at your stockpile bikewoo..

So I dont need to worry about rain on the sides of the wood there getting wet?

 

Can you tell me what amount of wood you have there in the pic? I have no concept of what a cord or m3 of wood is, and how much it would be to get in a load equal visually to what you got there.

 

Sorry - downfall of someone who only burns wood and does not cut and handle it afraid

How many slats you can take off will depend on the condition of the shed. Take as many as poss. If it gets a bit unstable you can put a few diagonal slats in to sure it up.

Gotcha Bikewoo. will have to take a pic of my and neighbours endeavours to post on here for you guys to giggle ova !

Hi. I would guess about 4m3 in the pic. I collect and cut my own so unsure on cost. I am sure there are many on here that could give you a price. I also store cut disks ready to be split up the side of the garden with no cover. Looks better than the fence. The wood sap is the main concern not the rain on the side. If there is enough airflow it will dry off quickly.

Thanks Bikewoo, that gives me something to work with regards volume to try and get a quote on.

 

Anybody on here want to give me a quote to deliver seasoned hardwood logs, 4m3 to Corby, Northants?

You may be better off asking that question in a new thread so people see the request. use it as the title.
