The wood lot

I like how you cut out the end of the tote. I am thinking about doing the same thing kinda. I would like keep that cut out location just as you have it, but, hinge it at the bottom so I could fold it down to unload wood, fold it back up to load it. Not sure if that makes sense. Like I said before, I keep the wood in there loose, not stacked.

Definitely makes sense, if your wood is tossed in loose. Don't want any falling out the gap in the front / loading side. Instead of a hinge setup, you could just use some long slender (but stiff) rods that go inside of the cut tubes.... ? Slide the access portion on and off the rods, or keep the rods in the small cutout piece. Hope that makes at least a little sense.....?

I'm 5'10" and I definitely can't reach the bottom of the tote without cutting an access like I did. But with my wood stacked sideways, I can get at least a couple rows above the cut out without risking much falling out.

Man they look efficient. Quicker then building totes out of pallets.

Much quicker, since they're already ready to go! Definitely lighter than a pallet/wood setup of equal strength. And much more durable for the long run (no rot). I love 'em thus far.

Think I will look for a few. Once you get a line on some, they are quicker to buy than to make out of pallets.
