ideas for storing split logs

Store mine in metal stillages and large wooden potato crates

 

Usually put them in stillages stacked 4 high once ringed up and then bring these down and split in to potato crates which hold about 1.5-2 cube (never actually measured)

 

I do only split for my own use and go through about 20 cube a year

 

Potato crates I got from a local potato merchant for £10 each once they get battered around and they replace them they sell off the old ones few nails and a couple of replacement planks and they do me fine

Where is you local potato merchant? Those crates sound ideal!

Mine came from the potato merchant in gilberdyke in east yorks (can't remember what they are called) but a search through the phone book or google should turn up someone nearby you

And make them into lids to keep the rain off

 

Thats how we do it. Even then you need an air gap or the top ones will go mouldy unless dry before you cover. Rain off air in

You have an air gap making lids like this.

Here is another way to store split logs. It's a bit specialist but good fun [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CZfnxwJBwc]Mobile wood rack system for a wood burning boiler - YouTube[/ame]

I am so tight I have to get 6 lids out of each bottle. I screw bits of wood to the under side to stop them blowing away

Why? each crate comes with a tank that will make two lids. I have trouble getting rid of our spare tanks just giving them away. Or do you manage to get paid for the spares

Get some pallets (which are free) and make your own!!
