I don’t know anything about this book. The cover caught my eye. It looks like maybe it’s only cribbed diagonally on the downhill side, which would make sense. Anyone ever see it try this?
I’ve never seen a stack of unsplit limb wood nor the downslope angle crib. It’s amazing how some brains work and some don’t.
That was my first thought. Theres gotta be all kinds of pressure on those cribbed ends. Nothing like split wood.
For laughs I'd be open to trying this myself sometime, but there's no way I'd use rounds in a cribbed end. That's just asking for the splits to start rolling outwards/up.
Just what everyone needs, another book about what's wrong with men. From someone without a lot of experience.
I improved my stacking in order to eliminate cribs, becuase I don't like building them. I just use a single wood pallet for my stack ends now, leaning it against the end of the stack.
I never have never cribbed like that before but have considered it. As for the rounds in the cribs, that is not a problem but you have to be careful using them. Once weight is on them they can hold ok.
I like it. That’s actually pushing back against the pile instead of just an anchor at the end. The rounds help with the push. Basically multiplying the force of the crib. As the wood shrinks it will keep pushing inward. Someone was smart. The key is making sure the bottom of the crib is solid and doesn’t blow out. After that you’re golden.
I have a round trailer fender i could maybe use now that you say that! Probably depends how wide you want it.
Yes. I have a nice layer of splitter and bark debris on the ground. If in contact with bare soil, the very bottom layer does not dry.
