A nice new woodstore, well hopefully

How do you keep moisture from getting into the wood?

I`m hoping to acquire some of the scaffolding from next door when it`s finished with, for making more storage , though as its been up 2 years so far i`m not holding my breath.

I`m not quite with you Crazylilting about stopping moisture, eventually there will be doors on the front & the other end boarded up.

I was under the impression that wood should be stored in conditions that closely match it's destination. Relative humidity and temperature in a perfect world of course. My shop isn't heated as of yet but soon will be for this very reason. I guess it wouldn't matter if it was kept outside if it wasn't going to be there long. But then why would you need storage if it wasn't?

This storage is for newly felled timber & turning wood. The freshly cut timber will have to air dry outside for several years minimum, before it is moved into a dryer environment for final adjustment.

The problem with storing timber in the shop is that it dries out too much, particularly turning timber, so better to store it outside under cover & bring it in, as & when needed. It also takes up valuable shop space, which due to the fact that i can never say no to timber , means if i put all the timber i have in the shop, i wouldn`t get in there.

Have you got heavy rain up there today Doug? Hows the drainage working?

 

[crazylilting]

Ahh yes that would explain that one then. Wish i could get my hands on some nice felled wood. Did manage to find about 8 tons of Scottish pine that has been drying for a couple of years but it was grown here in wales so the growth rings are a bit big for my liking, however it will make for a nice set of stairs and interior doors etc...

Even after four years of outside storage it is still to wet and it was covered from rain etc... Gona make a small kilm get it ready for use.

scaffolding and couplings that are more cosmetic/permanent than those found on building sites
