Has any one ever used those Big bags to storage fire wood in?I think they be easy to handle but have to wonder about drying?
I have a couple of them but have never used them. I think you could store dry wood or use them to move wood in but I don’t think wood will dry inside Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
There's a couple of companies that make them. Firewood Bags | Dino Bags Firewood Bags The better ones have an open weave and actually work rather well. I was considering them but they hold more weight than my little tractor can pick up. Only filling them half way doesn't make much sense. I have some made of another fabric that originally held potting soil and they work well for filling with dry leaves, dragging across the lawn full and hefting the whole bag into a pickup truck bed.
I am thinking of putting them under my elevator and let it fall in there then move them with tractor but am also unsure if things will dry in those bags in like 2-3 years
I use a couple of the super sacks for recycling pop cans. There are some of the bags that allow air & moisture movement, but most of them, such as the ones used for seeds, are water resistant, so the seeds don’t start sprouting while in storage. Charles
We use a ton of these bags where I work. Most are pretty water resistant. It might dry in a few years if the wood isn't really green and you cut the top out. Put the under a shelter.
I’ve used two of them to take on a camping trip way back when, plus it kept the wood dry. When everyone else had wet wood that soggy weekend.. but I’d say storage of dry wood... would not think you would have any good fortune to try to dry any it...
Wonder if when full I would cut holes in a few places on all four side or maybe even when empty then would get air flow?
I use to haul tapioca n them years ago. Problem with cutting holes, would be the compromised structure after cutting. We never picked up a sack that had been ripped, because within 50 miles the ripped sack would be spilling. You could probably sew around the circles to make them rigid enough. Possibly your local feed mill could run the bag sticher on them real fast for you?
If you are buying them, buy the ones made for firewood. They are vented. If you have a bunch of used ones you're trying to re-use, I can vouch for them leaving shreds of fabric all over if they get cut. I've never tried putting anything heavier than leaves in cut ones. Any time I use them I'm stepping on straggling strings.
Thanks I can get them for free and as for moving them it would never be farther than a few lifts with the tractor loader.
You could always try one to see how it worked out. Is the wood going in green and is mold likely to grow? How much humidity do you have? Interesting concept of using the u-sacks.
