Racks on Amazom

[CTwith3]

I've got a lot of wood to split and need to stage wood from last year for this year, and omce the wood to be burned first has been staged I can get in and rebuild the rack for the wood taking it's spot now and in the future mening A shed roof to avoid the rain games and snow games.
Ideally, I'm looking for 3 12' racks for my 18' cuts, stacked up to 6' tall., wwith covers or shed roofs. These racks would be close to tje back of my house and back door for easy retrieval.
Suggestions?

A lot of those racks on Amazon are cheap enough to give a try in my opinion, although I haven't bought any I did get one for free that holds half a facecord from a lady off Craigslist a while back. It was rusty so I brought it into work, sandblasted and painted it and it looks brand new. So in other words, don't expect those cheaper amazon racks to weather too well.

If your stacking in single rows try to avoid going above 4ft in height, the piles get really unstable after that, especially when the green wood start drying out and shrinking.

I wish I had the room to only stack 4-5 feet tall. All my single row stacks are 5-7 feet tall.

As far as a rack, this is a neat idea. Easily taken apart if you no longer need it. He uses a 4 x 10 piece of tarp anchored by bricks with a rope through the holes to cover it.

My yard has 6 of those racks, the last one I threw together is 40 ft long. That's my favorite way to store wood.

Crib the ends and place on pallets. Very effective, dries quick and is free.

I have two of these contraptions and they work great, and it was from this site that I got the idea from! One I have 2' x 4"s standing on the ends, the other round aluminum poles, and they hold up great!

I've been stacking between 6.0 and 6.5 feet high for six years, roughly 60 cords, in that time. When I was cutting all my wood to 20 - 22 inches length, it was never a problem. Since going down to 17" length (for the BK Ashford), I've had one or two piles that repeatedly collapse. I might have to resign to stacking shorter, myself.
