I have a couple of pieces of the rubber roofing left over 3x20 I just stacked up two stacks next to each other and rolled it out on top.
I tried to make the water shed and put a final row of splits on top to hold it down,sides left open.
When we were pouring the patio the left over concrete was poured along the fence 3 ft wide for wood storage.
Hope it works. I had a bunch of wet wood last year but I only had it seasoned about 6-8 months.
I installed the wood burner last summer so i was behind on wood.
I had a earlier start this year and had about 1/2 cord left we will see how it goes.
I ran into a bunch of ash but most all of it is wet. I am hoping to have over a years put up now with more to come.

" Ash wood wet or ash wood dry, the king shall warm his slippers by!"
An old wood cutter's poem.
Beechwood fires are bright and clear
If the logs are kept a year,
Chestnut's only good they say,
If for long 'tis laid away.
Make a fire of Elder tree,
Death within your house will be.
Birch and fir logs burn too fast
Blaze up bright and do not last,
It is by the Irish said
Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread.
Elm wood burns like churchyard mould,
E'en the very flames are cold.
Poplar gives a bitter smoke,
Fills your eyes and makes you choke,
Apple wood will scent your room
Pear wood smells like flowers in bloom
Oaken logs, if dry and old
keep away the winter's cold
But Ash wood wet or Ash wood dry
a king shall warm his slippers by.
Just cut/split and stack the ash. I like to cover the top(only). You'll be fine by winter. If you have time and space, stack it in "air stacks". 2 left facing, 2 right etc. This makes it dry QUICK. I still cover the top.
Also, I keep the stack high in the center, so the water/snow runs off the tarp.
