Started my new wood shed today

keep us posted nshif and good luck with you progress...don't forget to to leave some vent space so the wood will season as God intended.

Good luck with it and keep the pictures coming.

How big is it, look nice

Don`t sweat the shed. nice long rows in the sun and wind first. at least 6 months, then bring it into the shed. I know, learned the hard way.

I'm in the planning stages for my shed. Want to start in a week or so.
I was thinking of using corrugated metal for siding, but I want it to look good too. All sticks are entitled to a nice, dry, and beautiful home to spend their final days in. I'm worried that using wood siding will not last. More likely to be munched by critters like termites and such attracted to all the timber inside.
Also thought about usiing clear corrugated plastic roofing to let the sun shine in. Shoot maybe on the whole thing.
Any thoughts?

Looks good. Like the raised bottoms on the sides for air. I'm definately going with the lean-to type shed. I will be loading into the bucket of my tractor for transport to the house so I need good access. Those completely inclosed sheds seem like a lot of extra carrying work.

I had the same requirements for good looks, but also wanted it to breathe. Found a stout lattice that solved both parameters.

Very sweet BG--but that front row looks very high, can you get to it without a ladder :lol:

Heres a recent pic, there are vents all around the evev and the floor has 1" holes drilled in it for aor air bur my wood stays out in the sun all summer which here in Ca with no humidity gets it pretty dry in a few months. most of the wood going in the shed will be 1 year seasoned.

Nice.. might need steps or a ramp in the front. More than enough room to split wood in if needed..

Very nice looking shed. Looks like you put quite a bit of thought into it. Any idea what it's going to do to your property taxes? I used to live in Carson City and while I never owned property there, I knew people up around the lake that did and I couldn't imagine paying their property tax bills.

Schweet setup. How much will fit in there?

Every city has different rules, in my case no building permit (no tax implication) is required for structures under 120 sq ft. I think my shed is 115 sq ft and will hold close to 5 cords- more than enough for one winter. Mines almost the splitting image of BeGreen's except mine has a regular wood/shingled roof. I'll add a pic later today.

So to speak... %-P Rick

Excellent looking shed! Not knowing if you have these problems out there like I do in NH, you may want to put down some small grid wire on the underside of the floor (if you can still get to it) to prevent mice and other rodents from climbing up and in to the wood shed and making nests... 1" holes are pretty big and would allow them to get in there. Just trying to be helpful!

5 cords can be up to 25,000lbs or about the weight of an empty tractor trailer. I think I would support it every 4' under neath if you plan on filling with wood.

Good point. Mine has no floor, it is just pallets placed directly on the ground.

Everybody has real nice sheds! I'm gonna have to do one some day.
