I've only just now gotten into a rhythm where I can really make an effort to get two years (maybe more) ahead. I have all the necessary tools, I have a shed that holds a winter's worth of wood (about 5 cords), and I'm building up a healthy supply of rounds to be processed for later, so now its time to start thinking about where/how to store it. My rear property line is 75' long. I had hoped to fence it with a stockade privacy fence, but the time and $$$ just weren't in the cards, so I ended up heading down Tractor Supply to pick up a roll of welded wire fence and a bunch of T-posts. I put the fence up in one day for less than the cost of three 6x8 wood panels (I would have needed nine to fence it plus the posts)-as far as dog containment (the primary purpose) it works just fine. However, it doesn't provide any privacy. It would just be nice to be able to sit out in the backyard and not feel like we're on display. That's where the stacks come in. What I envision is (eventually) a 6' high, 4' wide, and 75' or so long stack of wood (almost 15 cords) across the backyard. Pallets would serve as the base as I have access to plenty, but I'm wondering how to shore up the sides. I've made racks in the past with pallets as "bookends" but unless I can come upon some of those really long pallets, stacking to 6' (or possibly a bit higher if I can) would be tough. I know I've seen similar stacks posted on here-can anyone post up theirs so I can get some ideas?
