Home-Built Firewood Pallets
 ✖  |
I only have to handle firewood once a year since I built a number of firewood pallets. I use my loader tractor to move them around. The pallets measure 3 1/2 by 8 ft. and wood is piled 6 ft. high. Each pallet holds about a cord of wood. I nailed together 2 by 6’s and 4 by 4’s to make the pallets. I made 8 pallets, which hold enough wood for one year.
I put 2 boards over the top, adding a metal cleat on the top board so it can’t spring out sideways. I leave the loaded pallets out during the summer to expose the wood to the sun and wind, covering the top with canvas to keep the rain off. At the end of summer, I stack the pallets in my shed. Each pallet weighs about 2,000 lbs. when full. (Conrad Keddie, 14830 E. Beaverly Rd., Prince George, B.C., V2N 6H1 Canada, ph 250 964-9315; conrad8@telus.net)
