So I've seen several methods to stacking wood and I was wondering which is most effective for getting it dry, or if they're all about the same and it's a preference of space and time?
I have access to lots of pallets so getting it off of the ground is no problem, but I won't have time to build a wood shed out of any of them before I need to get it stacked...
My plan was to stack it on the pallets in an alternating pattern of 3 or so pieces and just go up to about 4ft. since I have kids. I did this with the first 1/2 cord I got in March and it's just sitting there nice and neat.
However I've seen lots of photos of people stacking their wood flat between two towers of wood or poles at the ends of those stacks. This method looks preferable due to the ease of just laying the pieces on top of each other instead of building a more elaborate alternating stack.
I've got a nice fully exposed sunny space about 16' wide x 6' deep that gets very good air movement through it and I want to stack 2 cords in it.
Photos and suggestions VERY appreciated!
Thanks again!
