I have had three large trees felled and the trunks sawn into rounds and then chopped into wedges. The wedges were then stacked into a log pile about 10m long x 3m deep and 1.5m high. Unfortunately the sides of the log pile keep collapsing.
Can anyone recommend a way of stacking the wedges in a stable way?

Do you mean the ends? I've always included a few flattish bits counter to the direction of the rest, propped up on one chunk at each end. Seems to work. Perhaps the rounds were a bit too thin in the first place. Most stacks are against a wall anyway, often into a corner, so you only need one end holding up. If you're on earth you could hammer in a stake.
Like this
Gosh! *Extremely* well-stacked!
No, that would be easy, unfortunately the sides collapse.
runs along the side of the garden in full view; if it looked as good as hers it would be a feature!

Dunno if it's her woodpile, but I think she's an artist, her husband's a nuclear physicist and the woodpile is at a research institute in Tuscany. Who'd have thought the Italians were so anal!

Ah righto, I'd actually have guessed Ivrea from the background. But Ivrea is in Piedmont, not Tuscany. I wood guess that the pile is on the nice bit of Tuscany between Barberino di Mugello and Firenze which doesn't seem to interest the Brits as much as the lower lying land to the south.
You should get one, it would make you look Jung.
Hell, that's an amateur woodpile compared to some of the ones round our neck of the woods. I'm constantly getting tutted at for the untidiness of my woodpile and the fact that I cheat by stacking the wood against a wall of the cantina.

Id not say that.
Go on, ego to the dress shop and tell them Sigismund sent you.
