Two parts to this one:
1. I already have a nice, level wood storage area (about 20'x20') that we leveled out with 3/4" traffic bond. I like this type of gravel because I can rake up wood droppings very easily. This established area is high and dry.
2. I am in process of establishing another wood storage area (16'x24') that has a slight downward slope and is the 'low' area of our lot which also accumulates drainage from the adjacent city lots. I've already got some number 2 stone in this area to try to level out the slope. A landscaper was here yesterday to give me a quote on hauling in about 4 more cu yards of stone to finish out the leveling. He suggested staying with the number 2 stone - saying this would create a dryer surface. I am stacking on pallets so don't know that I would like the #2 stone for the storage surface because as I said I do like being able to rake out wood droppings and the existing 20'x20' area is traffic bond which rakes nicely.
Price difference between #2 and traffic bond is not an issue.
What's your comment: Stay with traffic bond or go with #2 stone?
