Stackable firewood seasoning rack (multi), built from a recycled IBC tote
Stacked cages build a roofed seasoning structure that dries and stores multiple cords, movable by machine, at lower cost than a fabricated steel rack.
Recycled IBC
Reuses a durable, standardised container. Diverts it from scrap and avoids new-material carbon.

A real-world write-up with photos of this reuse in practice.
Stacked cages build a roofed seasoning structure that dries and stores multiple cords, movable by machine, at lower cost than a fabricated steel rack. That advantage is real for this job specifically — not a blanket claim that a tote is best for everything.
Suitability & safety
The galvanised cage carries no residue risk from the tote's prior contents, which makes it the most broadly reusable component of any IBC.
