Rained on timber, what to do

[Fläktköparen]

I had a large pile of scrap wood that I planned to save for later use. Unfortunately, I had to urgently use the tarp to cover a stove. In the meantime, it poured rain, about 10 hours of pouring rain.

I have bought a new tarp but the wood is wet. What do you think I should do? Unfortunately, it's going to rain all week so there's little chance it will dry in the coming days.

If you can't move the wood indoors (which I assume you can't, otherwise the question wouldn't have come up...), then I would cover it but ensure it is well-ventilated. The best you can do is probably to restack it and place battens between each layer so air can circulate in between as well, but that might be overkill.

I had a large pile of scrap wood that I was planning to save for later use. Unfortunately, I had to urgently use the tarpaulin to cover a stove. In the meantime, it rained heavily, so about 10 hours of heavy rain.

I've bought a new tarpaulin but the wood is wet. What do you think I should do? Unfortunately, it's going to rain all week so there's little chance it will dry in the next few days.

Cover it with the tarpaulin and make sure air can circulate so it will dry up. Don't let the tarpaulin go all the way down to the ground.

No, the timber cannot be moved, but I cover it with the tarp and try to allow for air circulation. Thanks!
