Cord Wood

This is actually a bit more that a cord. Right in the garage, and takes up very little "floor" space and takes advantage of the verticle space in the garage.

I looked on the internet and didn't see anything similar. If it was pallets and a aluminum strut.. I bet I would sell.

I've been using it for 3 years and it has held up well.

Good job with splitting the wood, they fit into your racking system very well.

I think you might have better luck selling the wood then the racking system. However you'll never know unless you give it a try. Good luck.

I agree that the "racking system" is very creative and efficient but your chance of successfully selling it in the mass market is likely limited, in my humble opinion. That being said, stranger things have happened. Good luck.

Two points from me. Rack looks good but I never use one anymore. Simple stacking correctly allows me to stack a couple rows 6 feet high by 12 feet long. And secondly, that is in my ground floor utility room. Done it for 20 years and never had an issue with insects or falling wood. FWIW

of seasoned hardwood for campfires, must be ready to burn. I will be splitting with a neighbor, looking for best price for the Alton area. Any suggestions? Thanks

If it hasn't been split yet, it's not really ready to burn. And I wouldn't pay for campfire wood, I'd pick up free pine on Craigslist. Dries faster, goes up faster, and lighter to move around.

Sorry, I meant to say splitting the cost and the wood, 1/2 and 1/2
