A old truck tire holds a bale up well and we have used three auto tires in triangular pattern.

The next best thing to storing iside is to stack and tarp. I started doing this a couple of years ago and it works great, you can get up to 30% spoiliage otherwise.

All I do now is use the net wrap and roll them firm and you will have very little spoilage. don't stack them against each other. course mine are always gone within the the first year

Hay stored outside rots from exposure to weather. Lack of ventilation makes it rot faster. Best method I have seen is to put a layer of geotextile fabric down with crushed stone (#2) on top, on top of a hill to allow for drainage. This protects from bottom up rot, where the greatest losses typically occur.

Dont ever put under trees as dripping water and shade makes it worse.

Keeping an air space on all sides also helps. Butting bales together looks good but it promotes rot between bales.

Tight rolls help, tighter the better, also cay cut with a disc mower or sickle mower gets less water into the roll than hay cut with a moco.

Of course inside is even better, I hope my link works....

I use the used wooden pallets that I pick up free at the local lumber company. Just set the bale on the pallet and the bottom will not decay as bad. Of course, the pallets have to be replaced every couple of years. The top of the bale will thatch over and protect the bale. It is not decayed. Good Luck.....
