Finished up my firewood storage area this weekend and I'm proud as a new papa. Thought I'd share some photos.
This area is 32x6, enough for two rows of 10 pallets [3x3]. The plan is to have three six-foot high rows that run the length, with space in between each row. Should be good for about six cords.
When we bought the house last summer, the previous owner had four rows of wood stacked right up tight to the fence, with no space in between and blue tarps on top. Needless to say, the wood was crap. You can actually see where the outline on the fence of where the old wood was stacked.
I've since moved all of that to sit in the sun out back for the next 1.5 years. In short order I'm going to buy six cords of wood for next winter - hopefully something that will season up quick like Ash.
