Let's see your home log piles

[Caleb]

I suspect you will have problems with lack of air flow there, Caleb. I would suggest a layer of pallets on the floor then another line or two of pallets through the middle to reduce the chance of logs rotting in the pile.

 

Can't see it in the picture because i havent moved the barrow but there is a pallet at the bottom.

We have been storing wood there for years now without any pallet and it dries out enough as it gets the sun in the summer.

Some of mine. I haven't been cutting firewood on the sawhorse, it just happened to be in shot.

It could also be all the water running off the roof and splashing off the concrete onto the logs. I found that with my log store which has a front sliding roof and on a hard surface. Put a 6" board across the bottom which sorted it out.

 

Yep its the splashing that causes it but as all my stores are temporary and I keep it all for two yrs I dont worry too much, Ill just move em to a drier bit on the second yr.

 

Wont be a problem this year if I pull my finger out and build something decent.

Drying wood in suburbia is a massive problem for me all these are at the front of my house and are South facing and I struggle to get below 20% even with two summers drying

 

Gonna build a proper one this year (hopefully)

They are in the air just not high enough or with enough over hang to stop the splashing.

Not much to show seeing as I have burned nearly all of it! Now working on my pile for next winter! .....

 

 

I think I'm well stocked up for next year but really onto the last dregs of dry/semi-dry wood for this winter

 

 

Will try and get a photo in the next few days. The problem I have is as soon as a log store is empty it ends of full of other junk - useful off cuts of wood, tools, bits of rope, manky jackets drying, etc etc etc! So you never have anywhere to put the logs

If it works, stick with it.
