Log store floor ventilation

    I've had a log store built with three ventilated sides and an open front. I want to properly season firewood prior to burning it to allow the moisture content to drop.

    The store has a concrete floor - can anyone suggest a suitable material to lay on it to allow air to get underneath the logs rather than just putting them directly on the concrete floor?

    Any thoughts/experience would be appreciated.

    Palates? Maybe double up the slats on top to stop you tripping?

    Yes, I considered this but they would reduce the head room too much. I need something similar but with a lower profile. It would also need to be non-slip

    Lay 50 x 50mm treated battens on the floor and then floor it with 100 x 25mm at what ever spacing will allow you to have a grippy floor and also adequate ventilation.
    Use rough sawn timber to give grip.
