    Sorry, didn't mean to rub it in your face...I used to see free ones around here more than you do these days...but unfortunately I can't use them...my lil baby forklift can't lift them, due to the load center being too far out.
    My homemade racks are more tall and narrow, but that works out better for taking up less floor space when I bring the next one into the garage anyways

    That looks great!
    But you were right you have no room for any more. You really have it crammed in there.

    Are your totes right up against his fence? When I started with the totes, even before when (sort of) stacked I kept enough room to get between so it wouldn't hit his fence. Got lucky because shortly after having 4 totes of hedge stacked in them he got a new fence and needed access to my side. The way I stack mine I estimated that I have a full half cord in most of them. 20230527_123116.jpg 20230527_123712.jpg

    There is about 8" of clearence. :yes: It looks closer than it actually is. My neighbor just put up that fence this past summer, I sure didn't want anything to hit it. The way you stack them looks like you maybe could get that much wood in yours. The square foot measurment WxLxH is telling me about 1/3 cord.
