With you wood stacked that tight do you have any trouble with drying?
I dry it 1 year in an uncovered row out back then to the shed for 2 years. Birch


Bogydave, thanks for the posting pictures of your shed -- very helpful. Can you tell me how you constructed the cantilever portion and also how high is the shed in the front and back? Thanks again!

My shed is on a small slope.
Short end is 6' 6" in the back 8' in the front. Tall end is near 9' 6"' front, 8' in the back.

cantilever portion: cut 17" long angled pieces, toe nailed (screwed) them on, then added a 2X4 across the face to tie them together,
(Roughly added 19" to the front.) then an angle brace every 3rd one for strength. Plywood & roofing.
