“Liked” only for acknowledgement of having seen the wood pile disaster. But I also thought your title started off with “Timberly…” so of course I had to see if we were stepping on TurboDiesel ’s last feeling… of course he’s told us “if I had any feelings left, that might have hurt.”
Yup...BTDT! Frost heave has always been the cause of my stacks falling over, the few times it's happened. My main stack runs E/W so the north side takes a lot longer to thaw...and it tends to lean to the south due to the lay of the ground, and the wood drying/shrinking faster on that side too...triple whammy
About 1/3 of this ash stack fell over recently. It's not wood to be burned this season. And, it's to be moved when I have a chance to deal with some rack maintenance.
I was pretty sure at least one would fall. They are stacked on a pallet on soft ground. But that is where the City wanted them to meet code requirements. They were stacked early last summer in a hurry.
Sorry to see that Redneck … I got tired of chasing my tail… that’s why I started to stack in rectangles lines 2 pallets wide by 6 pallets deep and top covering….
That technique works for me as well. I also stack about 3-4 splits on the top. That creates a better peak for the rubber roofing to shed water.
I had to move the 15 face ( 5 full ) cord had to be moved in a hurry last year and per city requirements I could only stack two rows wide so one row was a single that's the one that fell.
