This is a great thread, thanks for starting the conversation!

I like the look of the gabion as well. The thermal mass would be awesome for storing heat or cool.

Thinking through two issues I can see with it would be structural integrity with larger bin sizes, so would smaller ones have greater support? Maybe adding reinforcing wire at multiple points in the center of each bin to keep from bulging out, especially around the bottom course?

Another potential issue would be air transmission due to the spaces between the larger aggregate. Depending on the climate this could be beneficial or a detractor. Installing an air barrier material in the wall below your exterior surface or interior surface finishes may be helpful.

Good luck!

This year we realized that a firewood shed was not going to make it on the priority list. That forced is to look for alternatives. We came across these round stacks and are now questioning if we will ever need to build a shed. We put wood pallets down first to increase airflow. So far they seem to be easier to deal with than a linear stack, we don’t have any long term experience to say how well they dry wood long term, but all indications are good for now.

Does anyone else have experience with them?
