My 20 dollar woodrack

that's nice looking and only cost $20 so she can afford her hair appointments. Nice job!

That's a good idea. Might have to steal...I mean borrow that idea from you.
Adapt that a bit, a little stain, and you have a wood rack inside the house...
Hmmmmmmm.....

You should put some wheels on it, so you can move it to clean behind, etc.

So you stole from a construction site?

I've never understood the reason for a wood rack, I lay treated 4x4's on the ground, then when I get to the end of the row I use cross wise splits to control the ends, but if you want a rack, I love the use of scrounged wood to build it.

I find splits of varying sizes are prone to falling, I'm probably just not that good at stacking.

I've found that stacking is a significantly faster activity if you don't have to worry about cross stacking on the ends.

Look into cutting diagonal pieces to 45deg to support your sides, I miss the days when I use to stack on the porch

I went nuts with the support, hoping I don't need diagonal support I have them on all my other racks

I've been thinking about building something like that for inside beside the stove. I have wood box there right now, but I'm hoping the rack would hold around 4-5 times that amount of wood the box does, making less frequent restocking.
I would thing a cable of some sort across the top, holding the sides towards each other, would be the strongest, lightest option for side support.

There you go.

I know I got some clothes line kicking around, I will probably end up using that.

Heres what I did for my racks:

Its just the bracket kit from Menards and extra 2x4s I had from another project, built them to the size I wanted. I burnt them with a torch to give them a rustic look and sealed them with a matte polyurethane. The two racks hold about a weeks worth a piece. Works out great for me!

I had a little rack next to my stove, ended up getting rid of it and buying a large metal tub, kept the wood mess contained

Yes I've considered that we'll end up with more mess on the floor, but we seem to end up with a mess on the floor around the wood box and stove anyway. I'm thinking the downside of the little extra mess will be offset by the benefit of storing more wood in the house at a time.

I cheated. I purchased four adjustable "Landmann USA 82424" wood racks from Amazon for $23.11 each last year. (free shipping) They are 41 inches tall by however long you want them to be. I have two in the living room on either side of the wood stove stacked about 5 feet high by 4 feet wide or a little over a third of a cord. Then on the porch, I have one that is 9 feet wide stacked 5 feet high and the other is 10 feet in length stacked 5 feet high. Next year, both will be longer since all the building supplies I have on the porch will have been used. I intend to make both 16 feet long. The lumber I used was used kiln dried 2x4's that I salvaged from an old shed.

Edited to add: The landmann log rack was only ordered once for the $23.11. Though I still have it, I don't particularly like it. The 4 racks I purchased were by Pleasant Hearth 32mm heavy duty log rack are 4 feet in height, and very sturdy. It was those I paid $24.99 each. It's best to purchase them off season or mid season because right now the price is better than double.

I agree. Having done it both ways I typically build sides on about anything I plan on stacking on just to make it faster while stacking.

Nice wood rack. I love repurposed projects!
