The years I have been reading and contributing to The Garage Journal I have benefited by being shamed into upping-my-game. During last years vacation to Voderhinderlang Germany, a ski resort town, I was taken by the awesome and tidy woodpiles of the native inhabitants and started to take photos of them whenever I saw them. My own woodpile, an afterthought usually, is just logs of random length covered with a green or brown tarp if I want it to blend in, or more usually an ugly blue tarp just to keep the moisture off. There were a few years where I built a decent raised platform and kept a tidy stack on the driveway, but recently I have been slipping.
Be inspired...
The architecture and design of many of the village houses featured one extended overhang to protect the yearly woodpile.
Even one with a sloppy cover gets a picturesque bench.
The cutting shed
The power supply for the circular saw sled
Build a wall alongside your walkway.
And add a window to enjoy the view.
Build something useful with one of the logs.
In town where there were no handy buildings to place the pile next to they simply built decorative structures to house the logs. Fun for the kids to play in in the summer and fall, and very handy to grab a load for the restaurants and beer hall's nearby.
Please add photos of your preferred woodpile to inspire us.
