Outdoor Storage

Firewood is often kept outside to allow it to naturally season, so it may seem natural to store bags of firewood open to the elements, but when handled incorrectly, even polythene bags can rip and tear. Firewood stored in poor conditions will re-absorb moisture and deteriorate and eventually, the logs may start decomposing.

Bags should be protected from direct rain

Ensure fire wood is kept off the ground, possibly stored on a pallet.

Allow air to circulate. A pallet will let air flow beneath it.
