wood store

[markheyes]

I've just converted part of my shed to a log store. The right hand side and the back wall are stone,the left hand side is a wall built of pallets to aid ventilation, the front is open but east facing. Can anyone see any issues with this set up?

Got any photos? cheers

Have you put pallets along the stone walls to create am air gap? If not the corner could get mouldy, also pallets on the floor

Yes pallets on the floor but not against the side stone wall. Here's a pic.[/ATTACH]

The stone wall will be cold and wet. Pallet the side and stack your wood and it will compensate for the reduced width.

I can pallet the wall no problem. Does stacking it improve the drying. I must admit at the moment it is just chucked in!

Keeps the air flow.

You'll fit a lot more in stacking it.

Yes i realise that now! I'll pallet the stone wall side but will there be a difference in airflow between my present chaotic pile as opposed to neatly stacked? If it's neatly stacked will there not be less room for the air to flow? Or am i being lazy and pedantic?!

Lazy ! It works
