Well yeah but the top layer won’t, so if it’s wood (ie there’s no cover at all) then the top layer gets wet and wicks the moisture downwards to whatever degree the shape and arrangement of the wood dictates.
But like I’m talking more about a stacked pile of firewood that has lots of naked grain and shaped tightly together. If you’ve thick piece of logs with the bark intact, and it’s not an especially rainy season, it’s fine.
But yeah raised off the ground is necessary, but that’s can be done with a parallel layer at the bottom.
I’m just saying if you have tightly paced firewood and it’s outside all year it’s worth considering a tarp on top of it but it’s more or less a play by the ear thing.
Like stacking firewood on the side of a building for example, as there’s a least a bit of cover unless there’s a huge storm. Completely fine. (Try to make it the side which doesn’t face the wind usually but either way.)
