get some wettable sulphur and spread liberally around the perimeter and pallets.

snake proofing. they can't handle sulphur.

the bag stuff from wally world works good.

Google landscape timber and cinder block firewood rack built one years ago cheap and easy

I like my wood.

This is how we store ours

I'm a cheapskate, but next time I will do something like this. Can be taken and put up or moved year to year, sounds perfect

i just moved it around a bit and cut away the plastic under the slats in the pallets, so there is airflow. Next time I think I'll just skip the plastic altogether, seems like it was odd advice. When will i learn to ask you all first? Lol!

Also we don't NEED firewood for anything, so if I lose a few pieces to rot or whatever I'll burn it outside, or just toss it.

Thanks fellas

Put the plastic over the top of the wood to keep water from invading from the top

this!

This !

All things firewood stacking needs to come from Chickenman's children only.

Hello Folks!

I think I got some bad advice about firewood storage, I wonder if I should re-stack it.

I have half a cord of wood, on two wood pallets. When I got the pallets, the guy I bought them from (just 2$ each), said that I should put a layer of plastic or some kind of material between the pallets and the wood, so like this....

--wood
--plastic sheeting--
--pallet--
--ground--

I did it, but I'm wondering if it wasn't bad advice. A plastic sheet between the wood and the pallet seems to defeat the purpose of elevating the wood, preventing drainage and blocking airflow under the pile. I'm thinking of un-stacking it, removing the plastic and putting the wood back on the pallets without the plastic barrier.

What do you think? What should I do?
