I've been debating shed options for a few years now, and one like tigger's would work well for my space. My primary plan had been several 50 foot long x 4 foot wide roofs, covering each of my double-wide rows:

This plan is an inefficient way to store 30 cords (3 years) of wood, but it's very conveniently accessible by tractor for stacking / un-stacking, and I could season my 3 years directly in these long "shed rows."

I wonder, if storing this amount of wood under roof in tigger's configuration, multiple rows deep... could wood be seasoned in the shed? I hate the idea of maintaining both outdoor stacks AND a shed, moving wood more than once, given the volume of wood I'm processing.

Looks like lots of nice firewood there, do you burn 10 cods a year?

I hope to. I got the first stove in fall 2011, and the second a year later. It's been a rush to get ahead on wood ever since , between repairs and expansion on an old house, and careers , kids, etc. Each of the last two years, I burned 5-6 cords, and ran out half way thru the winter. Based in the amount of oil I burn, and the portion of each winter I do heat with wood, 10 cords per year should just about do it.

Me too. It's a nice looking addition to the property. That's money in the bank right there!
