Hello all,
I currently have my unsplit wood outside and my split wood in the woodshed or in my basement waiting to go into the burner. I only stock wood in the basement in the winter. It seems to me that I am handling the wood too much. If I were to split it right off the truck and pile it up outside, then move the seasoned split wood to the woodshed in the spring to stay dry for next winters use, I could eliminate one handling of the unsplit rounds. I pile all my unsplit up neatly and don't just leave it in a pile.
My question is, how long will split wood last in the weather unprotected and what would I need to do to protect it from rotting so it would last longer? I keep a sizeable amount of wood in the yard at any one time. Would thinking about investing in a sizeable woodshed be the way to go? Space in the yard is really not an issue nor are building permits.
