I wouldn't stake it directly on the ground either. I use 4x4's & 2x4's treated lumber to stack my wood on, 20' from the house.
Here's mine. I need to go out and fix the roof, but it is really "purdy". The Mulberry will really be something when it all goes cinnamon. I probably will build another one, but smaller. It took me 3 days to build it from standing trees. It is over 8 feet tall and I blew one side out climbing on it and was exausted, so it got a little sloppy.
Now that I have seen the tree, I have a new mission. The neighbors may start to appreciate my messy hobby.
