My tightly stacked store takes longer than my lazily lobbed piles. Same airflow.

Hi mark, if its your only store you will be best having the long stone wall as the back and use pallets to create a few bays . that way you can have wood drying and have a store that you are taking from.

just read this post i gave up stacking i just lob the stuff in a pile it really does seem to dry quicker compared to some stacked stuff from last year etc >> just a note i wont stack sycamore i,ve just moved a load full of mold/black etc because i stacked it all nicey nicey we live n learn its now lobbed in a new place/pile to air dry i,am a bit worried now i have a load of beech stacked against my palaside fencing inside my wood store i may move/rotate it this summer etc

Idleness isn't worth a damm

Unless its well carried out

basically the drying will be more even over the entire stack vs your heaped pile

ass in a pile those not getting enough air wont dry as much as those near the top.

 

for best drying on FRESHLY cut woods its seems the advice is to let it AIR dry outside for a few months after splitting and then a few months (think end august) bring inside for the burning season.

Thanks again to all for the advice. Ive now added pallets to the side wall, tidied the pile up and created another bay.
