    Do you guys think if i fill this whole thing with wood will the tarp roof hinder drying. I cut theback out for airflow but the sides are two massive wood walls.

    Does that tarp shed water and snow ?
    Is that why you're filling it ?

    Should be fine. Looks like if you stood in there on a windy day with a lit candle you'd struggle to keep it lit.

    Wood is off ground.. Chk
    Plenty of airflow.. Chk
    Does front and back catch prevailing wind?

    Oh my gosh.....get that outta' there ASAP.
    Just bring it to my place, and I'll take REAL gooder care of it. :whistle::rofl: :lol:
    Kidding aside, looks like it should get good air flow, unless the wind comes from the other 2 directions.

    If it keeps the wet off, and good airflow, you're fine.

    In sunny , Open air area
    Top covered.

The whole floor is pallets also. The frame is part of a broken tire swing. Gotta be 4 cords plus in there rt now.

    You’re ok. I would only worry if your tarp holds moisture in that should be wicking out. May cause mold if you keep one of the ends shut.
