cool looking wood stacking

[AndyMan]

People have all kinds of ways they stack wood and for all types of reason but the principle is the same one. Some people just like their wood pile to look nice and decorative. Others do not care.

Stacked wood is also easier to access, and it fits nicely in a woodshed. When it's stacked, you can have certain types, sizes or ages of wood in different rows. It's also something of a pride thing - sort of like neatly arranged tools in your workbench.

I have seen some clever stacking of wood from time to time, but frankly, most people I know just stack it up against the house or fence.

It's usually not a good idea to stack wood against a house (assuming the house is wood-framed). A wood pile can attract termites, etc and you really don't want to encourage that near the house.

For the same reason, it's a good idea to have a barrier between the wood and the ground -- I try for 18 inches of some kind of rock, or anything else that termites can't eat.

We burn five cords of wood each winter. When I built my woodshed, I sized it to hold 5 cords of wood. If I don't stack it so that it's packed in tightly, it won't all fit in there.

Look is a crucial factor. I know a couple that has a pile of wood they use and then one that is for decoration that they don't use until the end of the season. A black U Shaped metal wood holder looks beautiful on a concrete porch.
