1. The best option is to have the pellets stored in the house/apartment
If you have a spare space in your basement or garage, it would be great to make a compartment for the bags. This will guarantee you the highest level of protection. It’s a good idea to lay something under the pellets and place the bags of wood pellets on top of it. www.thconsulting.eu
2. A well-chosen spot in the yard also works, but...
If you cannot store your pellets at home, you can do it in the yard. However, think carefully about where you are going to put them before doing so. For a start, choose the highest part of the yard. Place a platform so that the pellets are not on the ground and at the same time be sure of stability.
It’s a good idea to have the space near a fence or house to protect it from rain and strong winds.
You avoid placing your pellets under trees. You can also make a shed to further store the sacks and their contents.
3. Limit moisture as much as possible
ATTENTION! Keep your pellets dry and remember that moisture can come from anywhere. Make sure that the pellets cannot get wet. If a wet product is reached, it can no longer be used.
4. Leave yourself access to the sacks
If your pellets are in the yard, be sure you will be able to get to them easily. When shoveling snow, clean well both around them and the path to your “storage” itself. In this way, you will guarantee trouble-free delivery of pellets into the house and charging of the boiler. If your pellets are in the house, keep the room clean and tidy.
