I'll go as high as I can. 2m is fine or higher, as long as its stable. I have been trying out different ways to stack, but as long as its stable, high is good..
Hi Martin, I always get shoulder ache when stacking up high, I might just need to toughen up.😀 I like the look of the round wood stack with the middle filled with cookies, if i can find some free flat space i might try that one day. Thanks for watching
Most of my wood for the last 25 years has been stored in a couple of old tanks that are about 1.7m diameter so that's as high as I've gone with split stuff. In 2020 I put up a little wood shed and it's 2m high and I go right to the roof. I'd rather be reaching up a little rather than bending over. That kinda flows into a question for you. What length do you cut? For more than 25 years I cut to 12" plus or minus a little bit. This includes a few years of cutting wood for a living. After watching too many Americans/Canadians on YT I have now transitioned to 16" which makes for a whole lot less cutting, splitting and stacking. My heater can handle up to 18" front to back or 20" widthways so it's made life a lot easier for me.
Hi Alan, good point about higher rather than bending, if i had the space i would build a shed 2m high, to allow me to walk into it, but only stack to shoulder high. Wood length, i like 18" (46cm) for my fire. but most customers like 16" (40cm) so that's the length i usually cut to. I have cut some wood at 12" (30cm) for a particular customer but that's rare. I didn't know you used to cut for a living, that's real interesting, tough work, you would earn your money.
@@TheRuralProject . There's a few videos on my channel that are from when I cut wood around 1993'ish. I assisted with the building of 2 wood processors and I worked 1 of them for about a year. Not much video of it running as this way way back in the days before handycams or cell phones. These days I just cut for fun (and to heat the house) and mostly just build light controllers. If you happened to have seen Chrissy lights flashing to music anywhere in Melb then some of the gear involved could have come from me.
I tend to go shoulder high. Maybe in some places I will go higher, just kind of depends on how often I am feeling when stacking
hey Daniel, it some of your stacks that made me think about this too. Great height, but as Alan has said, lots of bending too.

@@TheRuralProject Yup thats the one...Iniused to get ache but as Iv'e kept building high it seems to get better. Retraining the old muscles (again)...
