This thread is a great excuse to show off (one of) my wood stacks....

I built a Holz Hausen (see Google for pics) a few years back but cant find pictures.

no one like a show off, though envy is a possibility :-)

But they’re a thing of beauty... all neatly ordered logs, cut to the same length and stacked one on top of the other with little ones pushed in the gaps.... bliss! ��

Interesting... do you cover them?

No, they shed water like an old fashioned hay rick. The problem comes (well, it did for me) once you start to use it. The individual logs in the body of the thing slope down and out too so should shed even without the top. Mine sort of collapsed once I got half-way down. Looked the business while it was whole though.

There are lots of tutorials on the web about how to build them. You need a stake up the middle.
