CONTRARIAN HERE! Most of the time after splitting my wood is dry (not exposed to rain) and I try to stack it that way and cover with black plastic ASAP or before 1st rain is forecasted. I don't want water getting down into the stacked wood! There is plenty of drafts through the stacks to aide in drying the wood enough from logs that were cut 1 yr prior in about 6-8 months. The black plastic creates an oven effect I imagine. The plastic is weighted down by whatever I can get a hold of and usually can get 3 years out of a piece. Much more flexible and inexpensive than a permanent structure. More important to keep the wood up off the ground!
