Discovered New Way to Stack Firewood

[A. Stanton]

Tried using some cattle fencing and pressure-treated posts to pile firewood against. I was able to get enough materials to do a 16-foot run from Tractor Supply for about $60. Like some opinions.
Thanks

Sounds like a good idea, let me know how it works out I have a ton of cattle gates that are no longer being used around here. Are you putting any kind of roof on it?

Here's a pic I hope

I hate computers.

LOL, Sounds like me I spent 1/2 hr. last night trying to get some stupid pics and couldn't get some of them, just keep in mind you can only post 3 pics in one post

I see the welded wire fencing, i thought you were using the cattle gates, which I supposed would work also but cost alot more. Are you stacking the wood or just heaving it in, self stacking!!

I used wooden post and old pallets on end., pallets were free,throughed wood in covered with tarp,looks like old corn crib LOL.

Good idea i have plenty of old cattle and hog panels behind the barn that are all bent up would work great for a firewood pin I try to stack everything nice and neat around the house but i may build me a firewood coral out back and start tossing some of it .

looks good i just use pallets for the base. the sides i get those 6-7 ft tall (cant remember) green poles with the spade lookin thing about a foot from the bottom. i pound those in the ground and slide another pallet rioght down the middle of the poles. i do this every 4 skids in lenght. i really need to take some pics of my woodpile.

It's more a controlled pile than stacking, but if your wood seasons good on ya'.

I end up having a LOT of shorties. Lil stubs left over after cutting a bunch to correct length. I also try and cut out the elbows and bends that are miserable to try and stack. I would just put these is a big pile and pull from that first to try and keep my nice straight pretty stacks up to use later. I found a pile this spring that was buried under the snow all winter, so I said i was going to come up with a better way. I live in the middle of 1000 acres of apples, so when the crates go bad they just pile em up out in a ditch and burn em eventually. I took 3-4 old pieces of crap ones and made up 1 good one. OK good is relative, it might last a year or two. I added a couple extensions to the bottom so I can pick it it up with the forks I added to my front end loader. I have a 4'x4'x3' box of wood ready to be delivered to the back door. Meanwhile it sits out at the fence line. I like it so much, I might make several more.

I saw a real gem yesterday, they deliver produce to the grocery store in heavy duty plastic crates the same size. Has a pallet underneath, looks light weight, and will never rot out. Wonder how I can get a couple of those without going to the pokey.....
