Fellas; scrounging the forums here for a while and countless hours looking at the "show us yours" thread, planning a shed all spring. Started this weekend with scrap material from our home construction and some 4x4's and rustic cedar planking from work. Still needs a roof...looking around on Craig's List for used metal.

Dimensions are 12' long, 8' wide, and 8' to 12' sloped shed roof. Stacked well should hold 4 cords. Plenty of gaps and rot holes in the cedar for ventilation. Bringing home the decking today, 6/4" x 6" fir.

Looking good - side walls completely closed off to keep the snow out?
 
So if the wood is already dried and split, isn't the theory to keep it covered and protected from elements? Air will certainly get into this shed, with 1/2" gaps between boards and rot holes in the boards, plus opening along top and bottom.
 
I like it
Sound construction , good air movement .
pleasing to the eye .
Only improvement I'd make is
moving it to my place > ::-)
