Uncovered wood in sunny locations stores well. A covering over the top of the pile makes it easier to get wood without snow in the winter, but many people don't think it's worth the extra work. Never cover the wood fully because it needs air circulation to dry. Plan to cut wood in the winter for next winter as wood needs a summer in at least partial sun and good air circulation to dry. Using the drive thru method of stacking you can build as large an inventory of wood as the space allows.
Many people like to build up a reserve of wood.
A 3 to 5 year supply is good insurance. Having a surplus of wood allows you to take a winter off from cutting wood if you want a vacation, have health problems, or have other work. For longer storage, make sure the area is dry and sunny to keep the wood from rotting. With A 300cc Engine And Trailer Hitch. A Box Sled For Carrying Firewood.
