    Default Strip stacking timber

    Hi fellas, ive had a few pms asking how i get my stacks so neat, well you gotta build youself a stripping rack. The back of mine is hinged like a gate so i can remove the finished pack from the back. Across the back you can see small c sections that the strip sticks slot into so that they cant move while you throw more timber on top of them and that is how its done

    I know how difficult it is to stack timber well. Probably as difficult as it is important.

    I might have known you would have had a stacking jig.

    Hardwood (seasoned) is always used for stickers, but more (I think) because it is less likely to crush under the weight of a stack that may be 3 to 4 metres high in a commercial yard.

    If your timber stack is not too high, it may be OK. You will need weight on the top for the uppermost boards. I don't think pine will stain, but you may need to keep an eye on it. Remember to use HW next time.

    Regards

    thanks Bushmiller
    I will keep an eye on it.
    I read somewhere that you can bump the sticks over a bit sligthtly to a new spot.
    If it looks bad I will restack it.
    I might even put the bearers closer together as they are about 600mm apart.

    The next stack will be perfect

    Dry pine is ok and wont stain, I use it for my slabs. Just keep it straight and uniform, good idea to have your sticks closer than hard wood ones too
