Thought for bottom of wood stacks.

As we continue to recover from Sandy storm damage I have seen lots of cedar fence sections at the curb for garbage. Would they make good floors for the wood shed? I currently use pallets and they work great, are strong and allow good air flow, but was wondering if anyone thought to use fence sections? I am guessing they may rot quicker than pallets.

Just a thought.

cedar is commonly used for fence posts because it doesnt rot like many other woods. It would last a lot longer than many of the pallets you are currently using.

Cedar will outlast palletwood by a longshot. If its free, go for it. I think in the long run you'd be better off with the cedar.

Place pallets over cedar rails. Best of both worlds.

1) It's free, so it's definitely a good idea!!

2) Cedar lasts forever!! I have a bunch of old cedar posts on my property with barbed wire on them from way back in the day. I've tried to push a few over by hand, no luck, they're still pretty solid. No idea how long they've been there but my guess is >100 years or so.

I like the cedar beneath pallet idea. Grab a bunch and let the cedar take the brunt of the elements being in contact with the ground all the time.
