Hmmm. With as much lumber as I have into these 3 racks, I probably am well on my way to a woodshed! Tax reasons prevent me from doing that just yet however......Looks like after you get your stack filled in you should anchor one more board across the top foot or two of your stack. Mount with a couple extensions. I stack higher than 4 feet and do not have a rack system like you do. I just drive one 8 foot green iron stake in the center or the stack that prevents any leaning.
My single rows are 4 inches apart. Ever so often I put a thin long split between them. The double row stack becomes one. Mine are 6' high 100' long. Never an issue.
Do you season your wood in the garage charly? If so does it work well?I do single racks, 10 ft long by 6 ft high.. I just make sure my wood stays level or has a slight lean back so if it does fall it goes into the next rack behind.. So far no real issues..Each rack gives me about 2/3rds of a cord.. I leave about 9 inches between the racks.. 4 more racks and the garage is full. Older picture..Wood in the picture is two years old.. I burned one side last year between two stoves.. Hopefully less being it's two years old this year..

It's an old garage we don't use, has no garage doors and four windows that are always open.. So far it seems good.. Wood never gets wet! I think that's a plus..Only way I would leave my wood outside would be on pallets, no way would I want to bring it into the garage and handle it again. Most of the wood I try to get is usually down already or some sort of standing dead or dying.. There's some 2 year old silver Maple, once I get into that I'll split it and check it.. If that's not dry the garage needs more air.. One year old stuff last year seem to test around 20 % split open and checked.. I'll keep checking.. Just makes it so neat to keep my fire wood in there..Do you season your wood in the garage charly? If so does it work well?
