Next Years Log Pile ?

[White Noise]

Started next years log pile . All wood is stored outside and on pallets . Most of the wood is 2 / 3 months old .The trouble is Im finding that the wood has now become a host for some type of fungi ? I have previously stored my wood in a very dry barn and have never had this happen with the wood stored in the barn . Will it infect the wood long time and render it unsellable ? .

As you will know some wood is worse than others.... i wouldnt worry... that pesky birch always goes part mouldy

 

Throw some pallets on top and then put a tarp over the top and weigh it.down

Wet weather at 14 deg is ideal for growing mould things should stop next week when it goes cold. the wood looks like you dont get alot of sun on the pile. If you do cover it I would keep an eye on it as I think it may make it worse unless the sheet is raised and plenty of air can get underneath.

maybe it's better using a cover

Pallets on top will do

 

All about airflow and keeping rain off the top. Not bothered about rain hitting the sides, also we are in uk so sun is a luxury... wouldnt worry about that.either
