I have split all the rounds I had cut to length over the fall and winter. According my estimates I have about 5 cords of wood, maybe a bit more. In past years I've been stacking it on pallets ... I hate them. Time to make some racks.
Pretty much dedided on using 12' two by sixes as the horizontal runners (2 of them standing on edge per rack) with ground contact supports in the center as well as the ends. I'm thinking I will raise the runners 12" - 16" off the ground. I'm looking for ideas on the vertical uprights at the ends that don't consume the length of the 2x6 for attachment. I want the full 12' length of the runners for stacking.
Pics would be great. I haven't purchased any material yet but I have to get the split piles out of the way so I can continue wood quest 2013. I have at least 10 more trees to process and no room to work. I debated building a covered bin but decided against it. I don't want anything I can't move to another spot. The racks will sit on an asphalt pad.
Any ideas?
