It seems like saying you need a roof of whatever kind in our climate to get wood below 20%. Mechanisation, IBC’s etc is about efficiency at scale. For example why use valuable shed space if you don’t need to?
-
Because covering stacks is quite a lot of extra work and expense if you have a lot of wood, which is fine if you have to. Thats what I was trying to get to in my OP, is it essential in our climate, and the answer seems to generally be yes.
-
Nice cross cross stacking. it seems the general view is cover your stacks for winter or bring the wood inside.
-
Good analogies. I do have a wood shed with 10+ cubic metres of split and stacked firewood. I was just wondering whether you could season out in the open without a roof.

In Devon, not far from Dartmoor 😎

That sounds like the perfect set up. I’m assuming the wood is loose in the cages, so getting even better airflow. What percentage do you think you could get if you didn’t have the wooden roof?
-
So you can get below 20% without a roof on single row stacks?
-
Good advice on stacking. Would you say then, that some kind of roof is essential? Either by moving the wood inside, or by putting a some kind of roof on it? Your log dens sound awesome. Did you build them a skate ramp?

In our damp and rainy climate I’m wondering if anyone here has managed to get their firewood (hard or soft) to 20% or less by stacking outside without any kind of roof. Assuming stacked off the ground, for as long as necessary, no more than around 1m high x 1 metre wide and in an area that gets plenty of good airflow/sun/wind? What do you think?

Very useful to know. Thank you.

Very interesting, thanks for the insight. I shall to this as round wood from now on. Cheers, E.

Thank you. Some very useful info there about lorry loads. I’d be happy to buy 20+ m3. funny about the cordwood, I thought that was the correct term for unseasoned, full length logs. What should I call it? cheers, Elliott.

Hi guys, Newbie here. Im looking to buy green round / cord hard and soft wood, any length or diameter. Probably starting with about 20m3. I’ve done some googling but can’t find much. I’m not in the industry so have no idea where I could get this from. It’s to process down into firewood and we have good area on the farm where 8 wheel lorries could access, but again I don’t even know how wood like this is delivered. Any advice would be greatly welcome including approximate prices if anyone knows. I’m based in south Devon. Thanks in advance. Elliott. 🔥

Easy access to hard standing area directly off quiet lane in front of our farm gate. Plenty of space to tip a few loads, just don’t block the gate. Cheers.
