![]() A lot depends on the type of weather you get in your area. And yes a lot of people don't bother to cover at all and it seems to work out for them because the stacks dry right out, providing they single, or at the very most double row stack. I'm just trying to figure this stuff and I ain't spitting in a dry creek bed.Ĭlick to expand.If you don't have a top cover may only get most of the one side wet from the 45 deg rain (I'm assuming it's coming 45 deg from the side and not the end of the stack), but it will also hit the top as well, so you will get more water on the wood. So,-if you as Bart is showing, put a narrow strip of plastic on top of a stack, how in the world is that going to keep the stack dryer? The only pieces of wood that won't receive a good drenching would be the pieces directly beneath the plastic and after the rain those few dry pieces will trapped under plastic like a cigar in a humidor.īart, please take no offense, I'll not live long enough to know a fraction of what you know. We are taught here to stack our stacks so that the winds and sun can work best for drying, ie- sideways to the prevailing winds. Around here, it's common to see the rain falling at a 45 degree angle, more sometimes, less sometimes, but 75% of the time it's 45 degrees or more. I can see if you have enough over hang to keep a driving rain from reaching the stack, it would be good, but most rains/fronts are proceeded and accompanied by winds.
