8 high! Really?

 

You guys really don't read posts very well do you I said to get 8 high I would have to start 3 and put them on the 5 (for the ones at the back 3+5 make 8)

Now take a matbro it will lift two tone how much does a box weigh with 1.8 cube in and that's a shaken box( for the ones at the back you get more logs in a shaken box). Bingo you can't . So unless I go oohhhh about 500 m down the road and borrow the counter balance of the spud farm I'm going to be stacking 6 high .

If 8 potato boxes stacked up really floats your boat pm me your email address and I'll send you the pic of empty boxes stacked 8 high I'll even put 9 on one stack if you want me to

Mort, make sure you cut vents in them before stacking as it really helps the timber dry. As for keeping them dry we just put a lid on the top one before stacking - make sure it's well secured as it's windy up there!

 

We have the ones with gaps in and get heavy duty Dpm and tec scre it with a large washer round the out side to keep the rain out the top.

How do you keep them dry when they're stacked 8 high outside? Do you move them inside before winter

 

Never really worried about it to much as long as the top is covered it doesn't matter.

 

If you take two vented bags and fill them withe the same species leave one outside withe top covered and the other in the barn the one outside is always drier.

We make sure our wood goes in the barn 3 weeks before sale just to get the slight damp out of the logs on the side where the rains ingress

Sounds like a nice set up. Agreed on the wood left outside always being drier too

Just a warning we normally stack full IBC.s 4 high but have had one of the weldmesh type IBC collapse causing a domino effect. Thankfully no one hurt but difficult to untangle.
