Storing wood, is it better to store vertical or horizontal, or does it matter?
Stacking the wood horizontal makes it a pain when the piece you want is in the middle or bottom of a stack.
I’ve seen lumber yards store it both ways, but they probably for for space.
Both ways work for me. I like vertical best. Like you say , you dont have to move the whole pile
Just shortly after I posted this question, I watch the video of Paul’s shop set up… and he had vertical. Meanwhile, I spent the day rearranging my wood stock. Now it is vertical, and each row is one type of wood.
And like deanbecker said, now I don’t have to move a whole pile to get to the bottom piece.
