    I am storing all the wood from that storm in an lead to. Will be pratically full hen I am finished. It is open at one end and it's in a windy area. Should i drill holes in the opposite wall ( concrete blocks) to aid windflow?

    A man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.

    Could you add skylights or vents or a chimney instead of drilling?

    Might be easier and more useful than a have of holes on the wall.

    No need, the “air flow” wouldn’t penetrate through the timber anyway, unless the shed is very narrow!
    Once it’s covered it will season away

    For how long do you need the timber to season?

    Could you put pallets on the floor of the shed, this would allow air to circulate up through the logs, either way the wood will dry

    Pallets on ground idea is a good one!
    Put some rodent poison in the pallets when you do it.

    If you can divide in half before filling too I’d recommend it. Much handier when you’ve it half gone to be able to fill the empty half again.
