Well, it's July hot in GA, so here's our setup now. Big fan, 2 umbrellas First time we've 2 different sizes like this. Working through a pile of random length and size wood ,this works great We had a nice trunk section that made some nice 18" splits... This 18" tote is for the restaurant inventory The 14" tote on the right is a mix of oak and pecan
Just wondering if those umbrellas really do much to help or if you're always readjusting to chase the shade. I've thought about one of those pop-up canopy tents many times over the years but always opted out due to the constant put-up/take-down scenario (we get a lot of wind) and also wondered if the legs would get in the way of processing. Not that I'll be doing much splitting in hot weather, but considering an umbrella.
The umbrellas are worth it to me. Patio style, so they tilt easy. We have a stand bolted to the splitter for one, the other is movable. Don't have to move them much.
Man, I sure do sympathize with you T.! I was never stationed in Ga., But Charleston SC. and I remember those July Summer HOT days, humidity was unbearable. Take lots of breaks and stay hydrated!
