As everyone knows, it’s that time of the year again that we must prep our rock storages for winter.
I emptied the pallet entirely, cleaned out the leaves and reinforced the bottom a bit. I added some treated lumber blocks under it to lift it off the ground and I tensioned a threaded rod to span through the box to prevent the sides from bulging out. Then I added a permanent tarp to prevent leaves from getting in anymore and stop the pallet from rotting further. It’s also easy to roll to the side when I want to look at my collection. The buckets contain all the smaller stones I have.
this post rocks
I only wish i could give you 2 upvotes
Some darn nice looking rocks there. And those buckets are brilliant - without them all the small rocks would fall to the bottom!
This post is great, thank you for this.
You should really refrigerate them so they don’t go bad.
They’re cured with salt.
Dear Dullster,
What are your lovely rocks used for?
This is just a storage. You never know when you need a bunch of good rocks. I accumulate a lot of them from all over my yard.
What situations/projects would require a large collection of rocks?
I’m genuinely interested because I can’t think of any use for them outside of building a rock garden.
Rock crossings at creeks, erosion protection, firm up mudholes to drive over.
Very handy to have a rockpile ready to go around a farm.
Srsly? What doesn’t require a large collection of rocks!
Fire pit, fire place, front porch stone work. Sauna, the fucking Mongolians again. Concrete foundation. Ponds.
Throwing at invading uruk-hai
These would be perfect with a “City Wall”, we need Lu Kim to head up the defense! God Damn Mongolians!
Goddamn Mongolians! Stop breaking down my shitty wall!
They come in handy when you need to go to a protest.
Very few, though I was planning to use some as a filler in few concrete cast jobs I have in mind.
It’s their pet rock collection.
Gotta put googly eyes on’em
they rock
He likes to look at them
Gotta catch em all.
Finally, a truly dull post.
Unless any of those rocks happen to be sharp. They better not be.
Silos needed
I took pride in my rock heap before seeing op’s well ordered and preserved inventory. Maybe I’ll go out and put a tarp over it today. Thanks
Wait. People “store” rocks? That’s a thing?
You don’t? Get a load of this guy, doesn’t even have storage for his rocks, haha.
I guess I’ve just been doing it wrong this whole time.
Sorry, rock storage? I … what?
Where do you keep all your rocks then?
Scattered across the field to break shit when I farm.
In my pants
I toss mine down for garden edging until I need them for something else.
Am I doing edging wrong?
If it’s not out in the yard in front of god and the neighbors; yes,
The backyard is where we hide the sin
It’s for storing rocks
Be lucky you have rocks. We don’t have anything larger than pea gravel in NW Florida. Freaked me out going to Nashville and seeing hills and rocks everywhere, had forgotten what that’s like.
I can think of one place with rocks, iron ore. The built a water mill there because of that. Otherwise, nada.
Glad you got this done in time! Geology is cool and great job with that bolt idea and happy rock looking!

Rock storage as storage made out of rocks or are you just storing rocks? Why are do you store rocks?
Can’t have them laying all over.
The mere thought of that happening…shudder
