04fox8 168 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I just built a heap, kinda house shaped. Sloped the 'roof' with some of the smaller bits of stick, and this kinda ran the water. They have been under a good foot of snow last winter, but when the summer came and I was topping up my shed, they were bone dry. I have now got a similar problem tho.....Bigger scale........I've just gone and bought 2 Artic loads - Aprox. 50T of them! ..long story. Got to tackle that when I get home in the New Year, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,866 Posted December 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 as I said 04 my situation is a smaller version.I have limited space and was just wondering if folk had a canny knack of utilizing space in a more efficient way.got it GD,the ''diagram'' was the job,lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
04fox8 168 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Starting to wish mine was smaller scale now! Seemed like a good idea at the time. Saw some cracking photos of 'wood piles' on Yahoo home page I think it was, a few weeks ago. Very creative stuff. Maybe that's the links at the start of your thread, but I can't open anything from here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,866 Posted December 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 at last I got the wood stacked.but i need to get it covered and sorted.I was stacking it this morning for 2 hrs,after the holidays I will proceed to build a storage area with covers and tidy the place up.this lot below should keep me going for a few weeks,mainly ash,chestnut,holly and some spruce thrown in.

JohnGalway 1,043 Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Couple of sheets of tin, couple of sheets of 2"x2" weldmesh, some blocks/bricks. You can make a frame with the mesh, cut out a piece for underneath the stack which sits on blocks to keep it off the ground. The sides can be mesh too, will contain the timber and allow air to flow through. The tin is obviously for the roof. How you join it all up it up to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
