What can be used to cover wood apart from tarps?

Covering a load of firewood. I keep it 2' wide and its currently around
200' long in total. So it has to be cheaper rather than costly.
Nothing. It need not be covered and it will not absorb water. The bark
offers good protection. If you are concerned about some of it getting snow
covered, I'd run a 2' wide piece of plastic wrap. I've burned wood for 24
years and tried different covers, found no covering to be just as good.
That depends on where you live. Here in seattle, wood rots pretty quick if stored uncovered.
If you use plastic, I've found that black survives longer in the sun than clear.
Try to find someone getting rid of steel roofing panels, or those corrugated fiberglass panels. Nail holes can be sealed
with caulk. You could put a short length of used gutter under the joints to divert leakage. You do have to tie or weight
them down to avoid wind problems.
