wood stack height

There's an old saying "Fill it to the rafters".

Of course some of us have higher rafters than others and mine aren't very high, but at least I don't need a scafold to to reach the top row. ;-)

I resemble that remark!

I've said it often that if I had a do-over, my shed would look like yours.

LOL
Actually I'd have gone higher if I could, but being that the backside is the neighbor's fence, I'm just lucky he agreed to let me go 7 ft as it is.

Ours usually start out around 7'



Then they shrink to about 4 1/2'



Then when it gets moved into the barn it gets stacked up to about 8'



But we don't stack on pallets.

Plus one, that is an excellent wood shed.

With or without the secret man cave bunker?

Without. I'm too lazy to dig the big hole in the hard clay soil.

With. That is 63% of the awesome.

I stack about 6 ft high on pallets cut into thirds, which is then laid out into a single space run. I am slowly, but surely, building a wood fence around all of my cleared property (about two acres or so). If you stack them in short, self standing runs, which taper down on each end, and then build the next run into each taper you'll find that if you do have a heavy leaning section it will only take down that little section - it still sucks, but it sucks less!

I try to keep my stacks at around 6' high.
I use rubber roofing material over the top and secure the sides with staples.
Since I started using the rubber I have never had a stack topple over.
