4. Raise the wood off the ground by 6 inches (more is fine). This can
be done very cheaply by making a cinderblock raised area for those metal
frames sold to keep wood, or can just be a long line of cinderblocks you
stack the wood on. In a long term place with a farm, you'll possibly
want to pour a cement bed for this.

Save your money and get some used pallets. One the ends, you do what is

Actually in this case, with subterranian termites, cinderblock is a better
idea. Thats area specific though (folks new to this, check your area and
his suggestion is cheaer if you can use it!)

In our case, we are decorating the cinderblocks (grin). We used a simple
paint meant for basements (just sticks better is all) then let the 13YO
loose with some water proof colored paints. Got little butterflies, bugs,
flowers, all sorts of things on'em now. Looks pretty cool.

called a chimney stack. Lay two pieces down with space between, Now
crisscross two pieces 90 degrees. Repeat. If your wood is split in half,
put the flat side down, if quartered, lay them as flat as possible. Pick
the best sizes as you go and it becomes very easy to do. Between the
stack just lay the pieces in at random and you will find they self support
quite a bit.

Yes, got my stacks about 5ft at all but the edges where they sorta drift
over and down a bit. Probably not as fancy as you have here, but works well
enough.
