Holz Hausen anyone?

Hey guys and gals!! Just wondering who of you might stack your wood in a holz hausen (German for wood house). This is my first attempt.....looks pretty good, I think!!

My son and I built two last year. Fun to look at and talk about

 

I’d hate to burn it.
I gotta think you’ll be torn a little when it comes it’s time.
Nice job!

 

Looking good. It does look like a good way to conserve on space if you happen to be limited.

 

Firewood art. Nice

 

looks good Steve. Ive never tried to do one. How much wood do you think is there?

 

Yeah, I am definitely running out of space for wood. I even have about 1 1/2 chords of wood at my parents house a couple blocks away.
This last picture is actually 3 rows of wood....all sugar maple and ash. It's in my garage.

 

This much........minus the 4 rounds of ash in the foreground.

 

Ok.....I was wrong. That is not ash. After splitting it this afternoon, I figured out that that is ELM! Stringy, tough splitting, typical Elm

 

That mustve been an unpleasant surprise!

 

I've built one. Ran out of racks

 

I built s couple

 

I built one , not sure I would do it again.
damm chipmunks thought it was a Ramada Inn.
However it was great for all the shorts and ugly chunks inside it.

 

Looking good!

Does anyone have an idea of how to measure the cordage?

There's the diameter, height, and taper to consider.

 

V=π x (avg radius squared) x height

π = 3.1416 roughly

 

Or, to be exact, volume of a truncated cone.

V = 1/3 π (r1 squared + r1 x r2 + r2 squared) h

Yep. Sorry about that. Retired Engineer.
