Now that was funny. It hard to believe the car would drive and make a turn.

Wayne I have noticed that wood chunking and drying and bagging tends to fill up my dry working spaces.

Michael, This is why I am trying the round fencing cage Idea and just tarp it. Uncover it on sunny for extra drying. I might put a air gap on top with some scrap wood for extra drying air flow. I have plenty of extra wind where I live.

The wood supply is definitely the easy part. I have my dad (chicken pig and goat farmer) saving feed sacks for me, but being on a 1/4 lot it’s going to take some enginuity to store and keep wood dry. At least while keeping the landlord and the wife happy

If you want to get fancy, put a chimney cap in the middle of the tarp. 
Also you want to make sure the wood is up off the ground like on a pallet or else it picks up ground moisture. And now that I think about it, the like 250gallon water tote pallets have like a fence around them and are stackable. remove the container, add chicken wire around the inside, and put your tarp over it, and you are probably good to go. provided you have a way to move pallets…

it is almost exactly what I was thinking except for wood chunks you need like chicken wire or use the bags like WK has to keep the wood chunks from falling out. Cutting the container and using it as a roof is a great idea. Fancier would be to put a chimney on it, and wrap the sides in tarp. For wood chips, you would need to put air gaps in. I don’t think chunks would need it.

Looking good Bob
I use a 6’ length of that fencing, makes a 1.9’ dia bin. Then have several plywood sheets to tip them over on. Then a deadlift to empty the bin. Then a reinforced dust pan to scoop up the chunks into 5 gallon buckets. 3 buckets to the 50 lb feed bags… phew!
The bad news is that a bag of chunks is only good for 20 to 25 miles in my 7.5 liter Ford.

YouTube recommended a 1 hp wood splitter video I figured someone in here might have a horse they could put this idea to good uses with. I just wonder how you keep the horse walking. Lol
