Step 3"Stick" Your Stack
Here's the right way to stack your wood.
It's called "sticking". Put little sticks between each layer of wood.
That encourages airflow and drying.
If you stack boards on boards water will wick in between and stay there. Your wood will rot, mold and get eaten by slugs and bugs. Stack your lumber in the shade if possible or it will crack and warp.
This stack has a plywood board on top to shed rain. It's on a wheeled dolly which was handy for moving it until I got it into the perfect spot.
