    Could build you a rack like this, made with 50 x 50 pallets, so it's about 16' long, with 3-18" stacks of wood, level with pallet is a little over 2 cord.

    Seems like in the east you get more moisture and so top cover is a good advantage for drying wood but out here in the high plains really do not need it.

    Went by a guys house yesterday, just a little way's from town, his whole front yard was his wood cutting area. He had his splitter out in front as well, and was getting after it. Felt sorry for him, he had wood strung all over the place. I'll be back out there in the future, i'm curious if he's going to leave it in front or actually move it some place else. I guess the bottom line is, you have to do what you have to do.

    If it was saving me a bunch of money on heating, which it does, I would do what is necessary.

    Looking good. My guess, those stacks are also going to end up being snow fence. Make sure you build them to help, not hurt you.

    Yes you would be correct on that one. They are all on the west side of the house and does help block some wind and act as a snow fence.

    For sure you need something to block the wind in the winter months! That is why many barns were built where they are.
