How should one properly stack wood outside to ensure it stays dry and well-ventilated?

To properly stack wood outside and keep it dry and well-ventilated, start by placing a base layer of wood on raised pallets or a platform to prevent contact with the ground. Stack the wood in a crisscross pattern to allow for air circulation. Cover the top of the stack with a tarp or roof to protect it from rain while still allowing air to flow. Make sure the wood is not stacked too tightly to promote ventilation and prevent moisture buildup.
