I posted pics of the new wood shed I finished building a few weeks ago. Someone asked me what I was gonna put in it. ?? I'd post a pic of the wood in that new wood shed but then I'd just get asked what I'm gonna do with the wood. 7

mossman,

Does the vertical pole prevent the pile from toppling?
I find it hard to believe it would topple over...

the pole is used as a measuring device. Pile gets lower as the wood dries. This method works for some people others say there is little to no difference in drying time plus the pile can make you crazy to build it.

Well this is my pile & stacks from a couple years ago...

Need to take pics of this years pile which is getting larger by most saturday splitting sessions, due to several friends having trees felled or wanting trees removed... I'm getting ready to retire and can see myself being more busy and working harder than I ever thought?? :confused2:

I don't know. I imagine it might. I just like it because it helps me visually keep the pile straight. Also, as it gets taller I just toss wood at the center. It builds up around the pole. When it gets near the edge course, I add a couple more edge courses and start tossing in the middle again. Mostly, I think, the pole is there to tell you how high you are and how much it has shrank while drying.

I don't think you should talk about piles with old people
