Anyone use vented bags for seasoning, storage and delivery?

[County 764]

What other bags have you used how many did you buy to get em for a £5

 

 

I started out with vented bags but they were .85m3 and wanted to sell by the cube bag so have been selling by the standard non vented bags.

I phoned this firm looking for a local supplier and was surprised at the prices so bought 50 standard bags and 100 vented.

 

Looking at investing in some large polly tunnels like this

and store the logs in the vented bags. Should help speed up the drying time Didn't fancy being tied up with a biomass fuelled kiln

Can you get .7m vented bags as I could like to switch to them as it would cut down loads of handling if I could split straight into bags and then stack them. This would also have storiage bennifits and I would know exactly how much I had ready to sell.

I don't think 1meter bags would suit my customers or me really.

I just use builders dumpy bags and put loads of holes in with a hot air gun, never had any problems.

Find it hard to see how this is cost affective taken the amount of time involved when you can get good vented bags for under a £5

Has anyone used heras fencing to make pens to store and season logs?

Good or bad idea?

Obviously pallets on the ground and tarpaulin over the top from September

Yep put a strap or rope round the middle you need good quality panels to begin with

Takes less than a minute to put the holes in the FREE bags, fail to see how this isnt cost affective !!!

Round top ones that way when you sheet it the wires don't rip the sheet

 

Measure half way up the panel and put a rope or ratchet all the way round to stop it bulging. If they do split you wound not want to be stood by it

Yes we have used the wire from old heras fencing panels, made a tube fits on a pallet nicely and holds 2 cubic meters
