      I'm using a base of used steel roofing , pad is 12 feet by about 30 .   
   I cover my piles with a tarp , sides left open and I leave a space   
   between rows for air circulation .   
      
   ------------------------   
      
   I tried tarps and several other unsuccessful ways to keep the wood dry and   
   support a heavy snow load before reluctantly investing in the corrugated   
   steel roofing panels on heavy table-like frames made partly of logs. My   
   property is mostly forest that drops rotted branches which dent but rarely   
   puncture the galvy roofing. I restore it with a plastic hammer over a water   
   pipe anvil on sawhorses. At first I screwed the panels down as recommended   
   but that hindered re-use elsewhere after straightening, so now I screw one   
   down-turned edge to the beams to prevent shifting and bolt the corners   
   together, a screwed-down edge to an overlapping free one. Various scrap tied   
   over the top prevents the wind from lifting them and the edge and corner   
   holes don't leak onto shed contents when moved elsewhere. Many tiedowns are   
   the warped and twisted PT cull from HD and Lowe's.
