That space in-between on version 2 is good for air flow, as you say, but it's super unstable when you move it. I think it would be worth reducing the height a bit, and filling in the center a bit like you did on V1. Lower center of gravity is safer to move around.
Neat idea and good use of old material. Makes sense for a faster and more efficient way to fill your wood side stand or if someone wanted a face cord. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the video! I think this is what I'll go for. I'm a home user (not a firewood business), and I like that this stores them in fairly small amounts. A lot of the long, high DIY racks look kinda sketchy lol...
I hope they stay together. The ones I built fell apart after a season. You might find you need some extra bracing. Great idea though. The fewer times we handle it the better! Good video!
Yeah, I do think of ways to add more bracing. I'm worried about the 90 deg connections. The pallets I am using are hardwood and very sturdy. We shall see!
The benefit of the totes as they are light. If price of the totes don't come back down, I might end up build more wood racks. Have you done videos on your wood racks?
COOL BEANS. I USE CONCRETE WIRE MESH ON THE BACK SIDE FOR STABILITY ETC CAUSE I HAVE TO GO OVER ROUGH GROUND AND I USE A SKID STEER (A LITTLE MORE ROUGH RIDING THAN A TRACTOR).
No, I would not double stack these racks. If you are into double stacking, I'm sure you could build them so you could. My tractor wouldn't lift it that high though :)
Which ones? The ones where I store my oak are 8' sections with 6 sections, so approximately 50'. See them in the woodyard tour here:ruclips.net/video/6Hln7nV9pEQ/видео.html The ones where I have been stacking the white ash firewood are 12' long with 7 sections in a row, so 85' or so. I have build video for these: ruclips.net/video/6SrBwzAG5mU/видео.html
@@OutdoorsEngineer thanks for sending me the link . You have an amazing wood yard . I’m hoping to have a little clearing done so I can do like you’ve done on the white ash .
I am inspired by your designs but frightened by your lack of PPE. The need to sell customers the volume of wood they're paying for is paramount to any sustainable and successful fire wood sales business. Pros; Thinking outside the box, reusing material and reducing waste. Cons. No Chainsaw Chaps/Pants/Footwear. Reaching over a table saw (without a guard) while running. An obvious like for creative content and production quality. May natural selection not claim you or your digits before your time. Stay safe, stay resourceful.
Thanks for watching. Check out some of my other videos and you will see some of that PPE work it's way in. I'm also frightened by a table saw without a guard. Need to be very well aware of every move. I do have one on now!

You bet! Thanks!
Right on good idea , I like the other ones in the long rows looks simple to use up pallets thanks for the video.
No problem!

Have fun!
I build similar ones, I added gussets on the top corners for additional strength and I added another brace towards the bottom of the uprights.
Cool idea! I’ve made a few makeshift holders out of pallets. Definitely a cheap alternative.
Definitely!
Great idea..!

Screws will bend when he's moving around.. maybe try nails
hi there been macing wood racks for over 30 years , i have some totes now but like mine better . john

hi i have made a few shows on them they are fairly elaborate and with green oak or hickory may go 3000 lbs , i will look for some shows , john
I like it! My prob is my Kioti can't lift much. I'm waiting to see what the new 36hp Summit can handle.
Which Kioti do you have?
COOL BEANS. I USE CONCRETE WIRE MESH ON THE BACK SIDE FOR STABILITY ETC CAUSE I HAVE TO GO OVER ROUGH GROUND AND I USE A SKID STEER (A LITTLE MORE ROUGH RIDING THAN A TRACTOR).
Great tip!
Placed pressure treated runners on pallets to keep out of dirt. Build with good pallets and bracing will last years in my experience
I'll have to investigate some bracing. I'm sure I will end up needing it. Thanks for watching!
Great idea. And cost efficient.
Yes, thanks!
Can you double stack for saving space?
No, I would not double stack these racks. If you are into double stacking, I'm sure you could build them so you could. My tractor wouldn't lift it that high though :)
Is that plywood for the roof ?
Yep. Just to keep the rain off.
How long are your wood stacks . They are really nice looking .

What model Kioti is that?

watching him cut those joists down on the table saw with nails still in them is an accident waiting to happen...
Knowing where the nails are is key to minimizing accidents. Thanks for watching.
