Crikey Boa, where do you get all those docs from?

Ha, did ya read this bit.

The maximum height of the wood pile should be 7.5 m. The OFC allows a pile height of 18 m but Factory Mutual 1 recommends that the height be limited to 7.5 m due to the inclusion of tree bark and other impurities in the wood chips. If the storage period is expected to exceed 3 months, then the overall dimensions of the pile should be decreased. In such cases, the maximum height at the peak of the pile should be 4 m and the width at the base should be no more 8 m. These piles should be limited to a maximum bulk volume of 1,000 m3 . A pile with a height of 4 m, a base width of 8 m and a volume of 1,000 m3 should have a length of 67 m. It is recommended that these piles be formed in a triangular shape with 45? side slopes.
Imagine having a pile 18m high? Need a flamin climbing expedition to get to the top. lol Plant ya flag, we claims this one!
