Holz Hausen Round type stack

[RI Chevy]

I would like to try and stack some of my wood into those fashionable round style pagoda type piles. They kind of look like a mushroom.
Does anyone have a link to how to stack those rounded type piles?
Greatly appreciated.

Like a Holz Hausen?

Yes! That's it. Any help on what and how to do it? I will search that name.
Thanks

Here's a big one I made. Something like 20-24' in diameter. There's a 5 month old baby on the pile for scale .

This was taken before I finished the pile; it got considerably taller. I guess I didn't get a picture of it at the end. I never shingled it, but just threw a big tarp over it instead. I figure it held about 10-12 cords. It was nice in that there wasn't much stacking compared to traditional stacks, but looked a lot better than a loose pile, and made it possible to tarp a lot more wood.

Cool. I just wanted to try something different. Lol
Give the neighbors something to talk about.

Start at the bottom.

And then just keep going round the circle stacking until you can't reach the top anymore!

Oh, and don't forget you have to split all of your wood so that it is tapered!!!!

Okay, okay....just kidding around!!!! You actually have me thinking I may want to try this myself next year! I'm running a little short on shed space!

Never tried that. I did go to stacking on pallets around the outside then throwing the rest in the middle. Worked hella real well. Anything to keep it up off the ground. I’m cleaning up my two year old pile. Wood still has lots of color to it. I’d recommend pallets to anyone. Not trying to hijack yer thread clam man. Also see no need to tarp my wood

 

[RI Chevy]

No worries.
I plan on placing 4 pallets on the ground in a square.
Then starting this round stack on top. We'll see how it goes. All my wood gets stacked on pallets.

Start at the bottom.

Bingo...

OK. I started my first round stack house today. It isn't real pretty, but seems sturdy. I ran out of daylight. lol
I layed down 3 pallets, 2 regular size and one double pallet and built up from there. The photo is a little deceiving as for the size. About 5 feet high. Just have to finish the top. The inside is stacked as tight as I could get it, but there are air holes in the middle. Next one I will lay a tight weave metal mesh fence type material over the top of the pallets to keep mice and chipmunks out. Should still allow air to flow while keeping bottom protected. I got a long way to go to get better at these. Lol

I dig it

Can’t find a picture right now but made one a few years ago. 9’ and 7’ tall. To keep the walls straight every two feet or so i laid a row of splits end to end around the circumference to level the layers out again. Also about halfway up i laid some long poles crisscross to tie the sides together. Topped it with some slab wood as “shingles” and gave it an overhang. Worked out sweet and yes the neighbors thought it was crazy.

Also, drive a t-post or something in the center before you start (square to the world) and tie a string the length of the radius. Use it to keep the stack round and square as you build it.
