No. I built a 4x4x4 box that I dump bagged pellets in for the vacuum transfer system of the boiler.
I'd give them another call. They have some storage solutions too.

What's under the tarp???

Hey, whatever works for your situation . I would have placed a barrier between the concrete and lowest level of bags (waxed cardboard or something), but that's just me.This is one ton.. 2 more coming in a few weeks.. Nothing special like you guys .. Limited space :-(

The pellets that are on the floor, will have a mold smell, and will have to lay out, up right for a week or two.Hey, whatever works for your situation . I would have placed a barrier between the concrete and lowest level of bags (waxed cardboard or something), but that's just me.
This is my first year.. I was a member back in 2010 because I was thinking of buying my insert way back then but I didn't end up buying one so I kinda drifted away from his forum... Until recently when I just bought my first one few days ago.yeah. that looks scary for condensation. but Eeps24's join date in 2010 leads me to believe this may not be the first year for this storage method.
gotta assume it works.
Concrete can allow moisture to wick up, the wood pellet bags have "breathing" holes in them, and pellets will soak up water if in close contact. If possible, I would move the bags, and put in a layer of waxed cardboard (wax side down so water doesn't infiltrate the cardboard) then restack the pellets. You can use broken down boxes that can be found at a lot of stores or even the dump (if they allow you to take things away). I am unsure if just a plastic sheet would be okay - I'm sure someone else can chime in for that.This is my first year..

Uh o.. Mold.? So what do I do? Someone mentioned a barrier? Why would I get a mold smell? Because of the concrete?
Plz help! What's the best solution.. Should I get a tarp so the pellets lay on it?
And that is a great solution too - almost like making a very narrow pallet.i would get them up off the ground altogether. 2x4 scabs and narrow planks could work in your space constraints. i have mine on pallets and the pallets have covers that are not only a vapor barrier, but keep the bags from ripping on edges or nail heads.
those bags on the concrete could be completely ruined by moisture from condensation.
My garage floor gets wet from water or snow from the parked cars. Another reason to keep them off the floor, at least for me.This is one ton.. 2 more coming in a few weeks.. Nothing special like you guys .. Limited space :-(

First year pellet user (Harmon accentra 52i) received my pellets... Wtf... They take up sooooo much room. Where do you guys store your pellets?
Wtf... They take up sooooo much room.
This is my first year too so I am playing it by ear with how many I will need but what I did was buy three firewood racks....four foot ones and I put a piece of weather treated plywood in the bottom to make a floor in them so the bags won't fall through and I can fit twenty bags on each rack. The racks have a full cover on them. I put the racks on my porch which is covered. Whatever I use from now until January I am going to replace. I also store 3 bags in a tub by the stove.
Sure...I will post them later todayMarina
Do you mind taking a pic of the weather treated plywood/rack setup?
