Coop - I built this mini pellet storage unit 2 years ago with a wooden pallet as the base, 2 x 4's at the corners, plywood for sides and roof substrat, finished with ice and water shield and asphalt shingles.

It holds 1 ton of pellets and I keep it under my deck, with a tarp inside for added protection. The deck provides great snow and rain protection, but I pitched the roof on the storage unti just to keep water from accumulating.

Little over 2 ton in garage. Had all 9 in the basement. But brought 1 up and then traded a misc ton of mine for a ton of Somersets from my buddy.

Then gave about 10 bags to my Father when I installed his stove.

Last 3 photos are basement. 1 pic is looking in the room, 2nd is looking to the right (about 5 ton) and last pic is looking to left from inside door (almost 1.5 t) about 15 bags of Easy Heats and a few bags of AWF's in a closet upstairs.

If they are in sealed plastic bags why do you guys have to store it indoors?

My Dad keeps telling me I should cord my firewood in the garage so I don't have to go out in the backyard to get it. Never mind that, garage is already small enough as is! (24x26)

All bags of pellets are perforated and have holes throughout them. If left on the pallet in the factory wrapping, they can be left outside.

Water will turn a ton of pellets into a LARGE pile of sawdust very quick.
 
Here's my stash. I'll pick up a few more bags tomorrow. Usually get 3 at a time. No need to fill up my basement with pellets. What would I do with all my motorcycles?

Are you sure the bags are perforated...All I see are indentations from being stacked on top of each other. If they were perforated, I would think the fines would find a way out of the holes and make a mess!!

Anyway, Impress pellet stash Dexter!!
 
Water and pellets dont mix, keep them dry !!
Most if not all bags have small holes some are actually bigger than others, plus pellets poke holes as they are stacked onto pallets

I don't know if there is any truth to this or not because I have to hand unload mine from truck or trailer to inside my garage. But somebody told me from past experience, if you let them in there plastic wrap, outside, for more then 1 season, they will draw condensation under the plastic & your pellets will get wet.
