Title: Rate my Pile
Post by: Chris S on 27 February, 2010, 12:07:02 pm

Woodpile, that is:

Does the panel think that the wood stacked in this fashion for a couple of years will

(a) Season nicely
(b) Rot away ?

There will probably be another 2 loads coming, of similar size. The wood is standing on pallets, so isn't in contact with the ground, and air can circulate around the end grains - though it is a fairly sheltered, north facing corner.

Does it need a tarp - or will that just encourage rot?

Looks good.

If it's for burning, I'd cut it into smaller logs - it will season faster.

That load is about as much as I can get on my big trailer.
