If you wanted a nice clean look you could put some, eye bolts on the bottom of the metal and use rope , probably only need two per side. per sheet of metal. Like I said I do that with some of my tarps, nothing fancy to hook the rope to the Pallets,, just some number 8 nails bent over, on the 1/4 " rope I tied, taught line hitch knots/ tention knot. This knot can be slipped to tighten or loosen a line, then holds fast under load They've been there 2 years and still work good. I can loosen the rope up to get wood out and then tighten them backup
You are correct-I'd just pick up the shorter screw threads and anchor them into the pallet bases...thanks for the ideas and knot diagrams---my Boy Scout Troop ended before we got that far along This is my first time covering exposed CSS wood so all ideas are much appreciated...
As far as the knots to go I don't know how to tie knots worth a crap but, I find myself wanting to use different types of knots, voila! smartphone, there's an app for that, I really like the Knots3D app. Bungee cords are okay but they will deteriorate after time and they're worthless,, rope will last long time
I agree-I have some steel based ones that I like a lot though-and that knot is just one loop shy of a Prussic knot that we use on safety harnesses in tree stands...slides up and down with ease but will grip and stop a fall, thank God...all good sir-I think we're making stack coverage progress here I know I appreciate the suggestions...
That corrugated metal will let anything on top dry fast. Splits on top will get air on almost all sides & not be laying in any water + be in direct & reflected sun Just stack a row on top along edges & seams.
Photos tomorrow sir-off to pillow-whitetails to chase-our rifle season opens Monday---which sucks,,,rather draw a bow or chain saw...but thats just me...
Oh, y'all r forgiven. I just wanted to make the correction before other folk got the idea I'd be a dude instead of a dudette.
I use metal exactly like yours on my stacks. I just put large splits on top, a lot mind you, to hold them down. Not pretty but usually works. Last spring we had a real windy day and one of the sheets of metal not only blew off the stacks but blew away, I couldn't find it anywhere on my 7 acres. Looked all over the property and the neighbor's for a week. Came to realize the wind had flipped it over onto the next piece of metal! They lined up so perfectly I hadn't noticed! Doh!
