Well....we have about 150 2m3 spud boxes for storing logs in, stacked 3 high when full, but really finding the best solution for covering the top box to protect from the rain a difficult one!

 

Tried cut curtain sider sheet which is ok but collects water on top or blows off in high winds! Does anyone else do something different or should we not bother covering them at all?! Advice would be great, thanks will

Ten Cate Top-Tex.

Cut it in small sheets to cover individual boxes rather than the whole stack. You can tie it on with just a bungee on each corner.

Thank you for replies, with no cover at all does the exposure to wet weather not slow seasoning down? Or I guess the other way of looking at it is when uncovered they dry out when not raining and only the top layer gets wet mainly? Cheers!

If you're sure that the third crate will remain the top crate, then pile the wood higher in the centre of it before covering with a waterproof cover. The rain will run down off the dome.

We leave them uncovered till about a month before bagging then take them into the barn to dry off rain etc works well for us

Used corrugated steel sheets. Couple of quid each from scaffold firms. They seem to have a clear out of bent/ damaged ones from time to time. Typically 2.4m x 90cm, two sheets over some 4x2 screwed down, double up one end for water run off.
