I have had three large trees felled and the trunks sawn into rounds and then
chopped into wedges. The wedges were then stacked into a log pile about 10m
long x 3m deep and 1.5m high. Unfortunately the sides of the log pile keep
collapsing.

Can anyone recommend a way of stacking the wedges in a stable way?

Do you mean the ends? I've always included a few flattish bits counter
to the direction of the rest, propped up on one chunk at each end. Seems
to work. Perhaps the rounds were a bit too thin in the first place. Most
stacks are against a wall anyway, often into a corner, so you only need
one end holding up.
If you're on earth you could hammer in a stake.

No, that would be easy, unfortunately the sides collapse.

Now if only there were some text explaining how she did it. My log pile
runs along the side of the garden in full view; if it looked as good as hers
it would be a feature!

Dunno if it's her woodpile, but I think she's an artist, her husband's a
nuclear physicist and the woodpile is at a research institute in
Tuscany. Who'd have thought the Italians were so anal!

I am unable to see how anyone could have such a problem

Ah righto, I'd actually have guessed Ivrea from the background. But Ivrea
is in Piedmont, not Tuscany. I wood guess that the pile is on the nice bit
of Tuscany between Barberino di Mugello and Firenze which doesn't seem to
interest the Brits as much as the lower lying land to the south.

Hell, that's an amateur woodpile compared to some of the ones round our
neck of the woods. I'm constantly getting tutted at for the untidiness of
my woodpile and the fact that I cheat by stacking the wood against a wall
of the cantina.
