I built my domestic logstore out of 3" x 3" x 8' tannalised posts and boards, with a paving flag base.

 

I reckon if you missed out the solid base, but set the posts into the ground and laid pallets as a floor, you could put three timber sides onto your posts and enclose your logs that way.

 

Say a dozen posts set in a 6x2 grid, 6' apart, would give you 1,080 cubic feet at 6 feet high stacking. Or about 31 cubic metres.

 

Of course if you wanted to be braver about it (don't know how much it would stretch planning definitions of a roof) you could put some ribs across the top of the posts to stretch some form of waterproof cover over. It'd be temporary covering, of course... :biggrin:

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?

Stephen, how do you re-inforce your fencing? I have a similar set up but last week the back of the fencing gave way, this is with 3 clips attatched each side, Thanks. John (Able Fella)

 

My first attempt collapsed and now I use 2 clips on each corner with numerous plastic ties.
