Today Im stacking wood in the rain. Took down a couple maples and a doug fir now to stack em up. I switched to holz hausen style stacks on plastic pallets. I used to stack rows but got sick of having to restack them. Never in 3 years has a single holz hausen come apart so Im convinced its the best for me.
