Good idea. I was going to tie a rope around but rachet strap sounds better

should of said.... if your panels have seen better days, use 2 chesnut fencing stakes to each pillar, then wrap the ratchet strap round, it makes the fence panels a lot stronger

Good work Robbo, think i'll give it a go, should have asked before the bloody lot collapsed! what a doomer.

i just use a few cableties, and maybe the odd few bits of galvy wire, i forgot to run galvy wire across from one panel to the one opposite on this box and now its bowing out like its pregnant..

My plan for this year is to process into vented 1.4 cu metre bags season in the field. The bags have a tipping loop on the bottom about 4 weeks before delivery I hope to tip them into our bunded poly tunnel. The reason it is bunded so we can load 2 cu metres in 4 minutes with a bobcat. The reason for all this is I worked out years ago if you handle the wood more than once all the profit goes out the window.

We have potato crates, when these are full use them to enclose an area cover it with pallets, and then fill this with logs, getting air rising up through the logs really seems to speed up seasoning in my limited experience

What's a bunded polytunnel?

 

Agree re the handling!

I tend to season mine loose in lorry containers then fill dumpy bags and stack them on top of one another. As long as they're stacked so that they interlock they seem to work quite well.

 

Could try these as well?

 

IBC 1000 litre diesel water butt storage tank on pallet on eBay (end time 01-Jan-11 23:12:20 GMT)

 

just take the liner out of them and line with galv mesh.

 

I use IBC containers if you get the right sort you dont even need galvanised mesh. I pay £20 + vat not extortionate ebay prices. Normally stack 2 high full and 4 high empty.

same here sandbach, potato crates rule.

 

go them for next to nowt, just keep the guy topped up with free logs. up to about 200 now but i'll need to double that when we start to process this years waste, its been manic..

 

but loving it
