How is your experience with stacking outdoors like that, and only covering with a piece of metal roofing? Does it dry out well enough even with rainstorms and snow keeping things moist?

It will end up just as dry as any lumber out of a kiln, that's stacked in an out building, and left there for a time.

As long as the green lumber stack is covered well enough to keep all the rain/snow off it.

A full roof shed with open sides and generous overhangs would be better. But more expensive. I think meter readings 10-13% at edges, center pieces might reach single digits. But some end up in the attic above the workshop and temps get up in the 90s+. Cherry and oak were dried in kiln ans stored inside. Outside stacks mostly red and white pine. Whie cedar was out about a year then put inside storage barn, no heat. Jon
