Today i am building a half cord basket for storing loose firewood. I planned this design around the fact that i can put it underneath my conveyor belt load them up and never touch the wood until i wanted to dump it with my tractor or skid steer. I picked up these stack pallets from a local warehouse overstock company. They were $150 a piece and i bought 6 of them. The metal to finish 1 of the baskets was $120. So all together one basket cost me $270 to make. The square tubing that i used was 1.5"x .120" and i used #6 4" welded wire fabric. I used this style basket so that i can stack a cord, one half cord on top of another. A "loose" cord where i live measures 180 cubic feet so, i had to make my basket equal 90 cubic feet. The insides of the basket measures 4ft deep, 5ft wide and, 4.5ft tall. I hope this video helps anybody who wants to build a basket for their own firewood storage.
