    T post spread on me and freeze and thaw cycles compromise my limited cribbing skills. I just taper the stacks and reuse the pallets.

    This is what I'm doing.
    Two pieces of rebar mesh easily bend and connect together to make a 1/2 cord crate.

    Or use some spare boards to make crates.

    You can also set the pallets on a layer of gravel ...Or you could put pallets under your pallets :D
