Simple pallet firewood rack

Those should be pretty easy to clean out for non-potable water uses.

 

This cut would be better in the middle of the top panel, going right through the hole for the cap.

Make a cut from each corner hole to allow the radius to flatten out

The plastic refused to do anything I wanted it to, so I draped it over the pallet rack center pole,

 

I feel the envy surging through my veins ... a brand new shiny IBC ... for free! Here they cost at least $20, without the plastic tank, but with plenty of rust/dents/bows/warps. A cream puff like that would be about $200.

 

I managed to get one corner in place , and tacked it with a screw.

Using that screw as a hinge point, I could force the plastic in place , then pressed down any high points, and anchored them with a screw.

 

If I was stacking one cord (three pallets long) this would be the perfect length, but it isn't, so I unbolted the tote base and combined it with the two ends, to cover the fourth pallet

I drilled one of the bows that held the tank in, and used it to support the ends of the plastic

 

The area around the drain would interfere with the wood stack, so I bashed it flat with my isocore maul

 

ISOcore wins in a knockout!!!

 

This is why we can't have nice things.

 

Another cord and a third rack ready to fill.

 

Hopefully this doesn't really kill you then.
I have another one with a hole in the side for my scrap metal collection, and another one that I removed the shell for scrap metal, and use the tank for my kindling storage.

 

Oh this may really tip you over the edge Enzed Bill, 40 IBC's free from work!



I had to supply the firewood of corse.

I better add that we had a glut of them at the time and I did them a favour removing some of them.

Guess that's why they call it The Lucky Country ... you lucky [DELETED BY MODERATOR]

At least you don't bash them with a sledgehammer.

 

So my kids decided they want the IBC cage...

 

Looks like it would fit snugly over the Wendy House if the baby sitter cancelled at the last minute ...

Just sayin'

 

Plastic tote roof does just fine unsupported, even when covered by heavy wet snow

 

Nice work

 

This project is entered in a contest on instructables.com, they liked it so much , they made it a featured project on the front page

 

And yes, I put a link for FHC in the instructable

 

It's nice to have an idea work out and then be shared like that. Makes ya feel good.
