    This shed I built in August. Inside dimensions are 7' D x 12' L x 8' H to the top of the plate. To make it easier to stack, I put 4' wide welded wire up the ends. I don't have the land to stack in drying rows before I put the wood in the shed. With the first leanto I built in 1975, I found that wood in the middle was still not seasoned after 3 years since it is only open on 3 sides as the back is the cinder block wall of my shop. That one there is 8'D x 8' H x 19' L. I think many people might be making a mistake when they board in 3 sides on their sheds. (That is, if they are putting unseasoned wood in there.) I also have another shed I built 3 years ago that is 14' L x 4' W x 8' H at the front & 6' H at the back. That is open on all sides.


    Here is my new shed.

    Nicely done and nice write up, but do you find that open all around is drying the wood in the center? I'd like to know since I will be building a shed some time this year and I will probably stock it with semi seasoned wood.

    I'm hoping it will. In my original old shed with with one side being the cinder block wall of my shop, I find that even after two years the wood is not as seasoned as I would like it. With semi-seasoned wood I think you will be OK unless you are putting oak in there. With the new open shed I'll let you know in three years.

    Likewise. Did wolfkiller ever get back to you with dimensions/plans?

    Thanks,
