Nice shed, how deep are those 4x4's and did you use concrete to set them?
 
They are 34" deep and I did set them in concrete
 
Shed looks great and plenty of room.. The roof supports seem spaced a bit far do you think snow/wind loading could cause a problem?

They are spaced 3' apart and should be fine plus added two 2x6 supports in the center just in case of snow weight

I used the to-30 tractor with post hole auger. The holes are minium of 34" deep with concrete
 
Great looking wood shed.
Good air circulation, pallet floor, metal roof. You're styl'n.
How long before we see a picture of it full of seasoned wood ?? :)

Good job!
 
I like it. Now the real work begins (filling it).
 
Looks good and you'll make good use of it too along with enjoying it.
