Netwrapping Firewood on Pallets

[94BULLITT]

I got the idea to use netwrap to help secure the firewood to the pallet and help keep leaves out so it should dry better.

I tie the netwrap to the pallet.



Stack the wood on the pallet and then wrap it. I go about 1.5 wraps then tie the net wrap back to the pallet.



Here is the finished product.



Here is another pallet I did. Today I started stacking higher than this.

Good idea. I have been thinking of a way to secure wood to a pallet. Thinking of maybe trying to sell some to places that have a forklift so they could resell. That is one obstacle cleared for me. Few more to clear. Would be hauling on a trailer with 12 inch sides. Got to figure how to get them off.

Thanks, you can also buy bags to put the firewood in.

Use one of these Pallet pullers to slide them to the end of the trailer.

That's easy, place 3 or 4 pallets under your firewood pallets to get the height you need for forktruck access.

Shrink wrap would be better.

How would it dry?

I have seen people around here build a cage out of a stock panel around the pallet then stack firewood in. As I understand it he ships it around the country by the semi load.

That sounds interesting. I would like to see a picture of it. I am always looking for ways to improve the way I store firewood. This so far seems like it works good especially since the netwrap is free. I don't know what I'll do when I run out.

Wonderful thing about this site and some others. Someone may have a question about trying to figure something out and can post or search and another may have already solved the issue. Like the pallet puller mentioned above. Didn't know such a thing existed.

I was just thinking the same thing.

Here are what mine look like.

My BX will not lift a whole pallet so I cut the pallets in half first. I use some fence slats, or other scrap lumber, for side supports and run a piece of recycled strapping around the top to hold it together.

I cut split and stack on the pallets all in one area.

I've used several types of pallets in the past but switched to apple bins this past year. They are low enough to fit under the end of the 3 point splitter we use so split wood falls right in. They don't hold as much loose but rough stacked 6 bins = cord. We stack them 3 high with the loader in the tarp building they are in. When empty 3 bins nest together well.

I thought about adding side supports but they are not stackable like pallets when you don't have wood on them.

Apples bins are hard to get a hold of here. They use them til they aren't worth fixing and then throw them away. Some places are going to plastic apple bins.

Those would be the ones I use. I get them from my buddies burn pile at the orchard. Most of time the corners that attach to the pallet are what is damaged. You can cut 1x material to slip in the sides. The edges would damage apples so they don't do this repair but its fine for me.
