Bivouac it?

[Easy Livin’ 3000]

Those modern jungle gyms all around. They all have bivouac shelter roofs. If you have kids, you already know what I'm talking about. If not, just look around the 'hood.

Got me thinking, why not, to keep the firewood dry? Tie a rope between two trees, drape tarp over rope, stretch corners to desired angle, stake corners. Voila!

Good idea, but with out some support under it the rain water will sag it and create pools.

the rope would act as a ridge beam, enough angle and everything would run off it, high wind would be my biggest concern.

It could work well if tied down well. My concern would be heavy snows.

I remembered this thread when we were traveling recently. We visited family friends not at their own home but at their parents’ home. I knew they were long-time wood burners, and we had in fact given them firewood before we put our house on the market, but I had never seen their place before. It turns out that the stacks were protected just as you described with rope and tarps and what looked like old canvas tenting. They were tied well, and the report that we received was that he’s done it that way for years with good success.
