Drying wood.

Towser

Does anybody worry about drying against the side of the house. My other half worries about insects and fungi getting into our house from it? Then damaging the fabric of the house.

We already had to cut out all the woodworm we found when we moved into the house.

We have a woodshed but it is full.

Can you not build another?

Or stack it somewhere else, i have some laid between a row of conifers and my fence there logs or branches at present waiting for the store to become empty for there turn to be chopped and placed there.

The problem I have is keeping all my various piles all at various stages of seasoning seperate and remembering what is what! I have two log stores. One brick built one and one lean too on the side of the shed.

Build another one.

If you can't do that get a pallet or something similar that gets the logs off the ground and put a tarp over the top (leave the faces exposed).

They'll get wet on and off but it will stop them rotting and as the wood store starts to empty move them in there.

Just remember what is dry and what's now seasoning.
