I still use this method for the past couple years even though loosing approx. 15% of the area of a cord due to the 4x4s now being shorter than 48" due to sitting in the cinder blocks by 8" I try to stack higher in the middle and taper to the outside edges to help with water runoff
I put concrete mesh on the blocks. Works well.
Great idea man!
Very good idea.most important is the air und the firewood for drying!👍👍🇩🇪

This is so simple, yet so effective! Will build it your way as a temporary solution (which might become a rather permanent one 😅).
Simple and good. Thank you!
You can also stack wood just between 2 trees and place pallets elevated from the ground with stones or smaller concrete blocks. Looks nicer...
That's a quick way to rot the trees
@@AnonymousGameWarden How quick?
@@MrWookie21 easily could rot and destroy both trees over than span of 5 or 6 years
@@AnonymousGameWarden The stacked firewood would dry, but the trees would rot?
Nice idea :)
And the rain? You can cover on top but and on the sides?
You don’t cover the sides. Wood needs to breath.
@@shanepitzer4323 yes, but the rain will hit the sides and get wet again
4 posts and a tarp.
tarp can extend a few feet past the wood... the windier it is where you are, the more extra feet you need of tarp.
The wood pile is not 4’ tall. It’s 3’ 2 1/2” from the 2x4’s.
