I doubt there will be much pit wood there. Sweet job with the steel roof, amount of gravel, the way you boxed it and the grading. Any water that somehow gets in there will quickly run through the bed and out into the yard. The bigger concern will be the fifteen feet of snow that blocks your access to it

The snow doesn't impede access. :coolsmile: I plow right up to it and down beside the lean-to. That is part of the reason for building it there. Now the stacks out back become inaccessible come January/February.

If you don’t mind me asking, what did the final product set you back ?

Do you mean the wood itself or the lean-to?

why is the wood on the ends stacked in that pattern? I have seen other people do this and am curious? Thanks.

It is stacked that way so it will support its own weight. The 2x4's are there just "in case" I stacked last years wood the same way without criss-crossing the ends and it put a TON of weight on the 2x4's and I was afraid they would break. I split the stacks in the center because I will grab the section in front towards the drive way first. This was stacked in March so it will be seasoned first. As the rows go down, I remove the 2x4's and eventually can back the truck right in to move the wood to the cellar.

Just want to update. I bought a cheap meter from Harbor Freight and I pulled a piece from the front stack under the lean-to and one piece from a stack out back. They both read 21-22% moisture. The first piece was C/S/S by the 1st of April and the other piece was done around the 1st of May and is the direct sun.
