storing green logs

[frets1]

hi everyone,

seems lots of advice but would be grateful of some input.

whats the best way to store fresh cut logs?

stack in a line or throw in a pile? pile sounds easier but mold?

from what i have read vented bags are only good for already seasoned logs, is that true.

its mostly beech and about 10 tons.

would it be better to season in cord and rings? then pile it up in shed when split (its arb waste)

thanks.

If you ring it up now and split then stack itll dry out quicker than leaving it cord bud.

HI FRETS as dan said split them much faster seasoning:thumbup1: and store were theres lots of wind off the ground to helps thanks jon

As said above. Cut, split and stack with gap for air both sides for fastest drying

[Stubby]

Stack ff the ground but with ventilation ( on a pallet or purpose made log store ) ventilation on at least 3 sides and keep the rain off the top .

Most woods split easier when green, so anther reason to cut, split, stack

[ken 1966]

put them in ibc containers available from most farmers you can stack them three high and move them easily and rotate them around barn ect

[muldonach]

Split them now or as soon as you possibly can, get them off the ground.

 

If you put them in ventilated bags put the first layer on a pallet and put a pallet between every layer, do not stack them neat and tight - try to let the wind through and keep the rain off.

thanks everyone

looks like some time with the axe then!!

a gap between the lines of logs seems a good idea, most times ive tried that they all fall over in a big pile anyway, like bloody dominos!

thanks again.
