    Eric, that is a great setup and partitioning it off like you did makes a lot of sense.

    This may sound a little out there...but if I had that, I would have my Home owners insurance cover the Pole Barn along with all that wood as well. One fire &....BYE BYE!

    Looks like you could pack a few more cords in there before you get to the rafters though! :stacke: :)

    Nice setup Erik B !

    Shawn Curry If I were to stack wood any higher, I would have to use a ladder, and we all know how much of a NO NO it is using a ladder with firewood.:pain:

    Canadian border VT No snowmobile or ATV's and the only tractor I have is my John Deere garden tractor. Generator is in the garage. No boats either. Our two boys helped with the splitting before I got a Speeco splitter and they did the splitting in the polebarn. I didn't have to fight with anyone to keep it mainly for firewood.

    Doesn't the home owner's insurance cover the outbuildings? Probably would not the contents though unless a rider were attached.

    Makes you feel sorry for the poor folks, doesn't it? That is a really awesome setup. How far is it from the house?

    bushpilot It is about 100 feet from the house. I use my snowblower in the winter to keep a path open to bring down wood. DSC00086.JPG
