Instead of T Posts you can just use a 2x4 "sharpened" to a point at the end. It will many years before rotting out. Buy 10ft ers, cut in 1/2.

Thats a good idea to
 
I use 6' t-posts and drive them in 18". works great for me
 
it also helps that you have a large level / flat area to stack on, my stacking area is far from level. Even when I criss cross the ends they still have a tendency to fall over without t posts

I don't think it should be a big problem stacking on your ground in most areas. While it is true I have good level ground now, it was not always that way because we have not always lived here so I know what it is like to stack on unlevel ground. Again I'll state, t-posts are unnecessary if you do it right.

I use 5' posts with a pallet slipped over them. Here's my thread from last year.

I had a local welder build this post ponder for me out of scrap that he had laying around about 10 years ago for $35.

And the creek was running low in that pic, running real high now with all our recent snow/rain

well in my limited experience I have found that stacking wood is an "art form" someday i will master the art form, but I am far from there now
 
Nice looking rounds,,, more work,,, That red fir??? Doug Fir?? Wenatchee area here,, pine and fir,,, some tamarack,, You are in good shape.. working on 14-15 now,, big rounds. Just scored some black locust on a acrounge HOO-HOO. 1 cord..

Well, I once knew a fellow named Art but I don't have much art when it comes to stacking. I just get it done and forget about it for a few years.
