I bit off an area on one side of my yard - about 30'x11'. I put down about 3 yards of gravel, and away we go. I used to dry in racks like this behind the shed (not ideal for sun and wind), but this area is in full sun all day. It may not look like it in the pic, but there is room enough to walk in-between the stacks - a little over 2 feet between rows. I will be able to fit 8 stacks here - a little over 1/2 cord in each. The 5 cord wood shed is only steps away.
