In the wise words of notable Westerosi meteorologist Ned Stark, “Winter will be arriving soon.” If you’re planning to store firewood for the long haul, this graphic teaches you how to do it right.




As this chart from the Art of Manliness points out, just putting firewood in a haphazard pile can cause you some problems down the road.

The chart also shows how to build wood towers on each end in order to stabilize large stacks.
