The best would be a woodshed obviously, but we have to come up with a workaround if no shed. I do see what you mean about frozen wood. I'm ok for the most part if the wood is fairly seasoned and wood under the middle of the tarp. Where the water runs off on the edges will have frozen pieces for sure. I bring it all in and put it in my big poly box tub and let it warm up and dry off. Frozen wood will come apart for sure after a day at room temperature.
