The floor for this year will just be pallets. But In the spring build a floor prob with regular decking and a good air space. Also going to dig it out a little and out stone im there.
I stack wood here every year. Also its mostly just forwkood for the winter. This is where I haves stacked wood for the past 4 years and haven't had a problem. Plus I spray good all around and that seems ti so the job.~*~vvv~*~ said:

Looking good.
Pallet floor will work for many years.
We are waiting for the picture with it full of wood you know
Good job! Looks strong enough to handle several feet os snow.
Metal roof may cause the snow to slide & block access.
I used roll roofing for mine,(cheapest) but if it were attached to the house, my wife would have
insisted it match the house roof. (shingles)

Looks great! Perhaps some lattice on the sides would enhance the looks and allow for good air flow... I would worry about bugs and other pests with a shelter so close to my house but some people do it here.. It may be a good idea to get an exterminator to treat under and around the shelter before you fill it with wood as a precautionary measure...

If you stack an average of 6.5 ft. high front to back, you'll get about 5 1/4- 5 1/3 cord in there. Obviously, the higher you stack toward the front, the more will fit.
Multiply the width x height x depth, then divide by 128. Try a few combos with different heights to give you an idea.
You could also calculate each row as it's stacked, then add together.
Your shed looks quite a bit like mine. Nice job.:coolsmile:

might not be a bad idea. im not to worried about it to much the shed sets mostly next to just concrete. also it will only be filled in the fall to end of winter mostly and the wood is really dry which i think helps alot with bugs. i mean we get a spider everyonce in a while crawling around. but we get that in the summer to. i dont have the convenience of being able to get a vehicle in the backyard in the winter to cart wood up my slope of a back yard. and would require wheelbarrowing and shoveling a ton of snow as well.

Looks good so far, but I gota ask if you have, or are planning on putting, a brace in the middle holding the two side beams from spreading? Your rafter/beam design would likely sag in the middle in time with out one. I don't see one there so far, that's why Im asking.ecocavalier02 said:
we did a double 2 by six with plywood in the middle as a header and the were going to do side braces from the 4 x 4 to the header on both ends.

love it...small and tucked behind the house with well built roof.
Nice job.
I have a few sheds and one of mine is tall (over the 6' stockade) and goddy and is being decommissioned when the most of the wood is consumed this year.

You wanna build one for me - I think it really looks great.
Being nearer the house is functional, bugs be damned. That is why Man invented Raid. :vampire:

Looks awesome Eco. Better get some wood in there before your wife decides its a good place for a hot tub.
BTW, I use the same drying strategy. Dry it away from the house then stack enough under a roof right next to the door before the snow flies. No bugs here either.

Haha. The hot tub will go under the deck when we build one. And yeah it is gonna be very functional. Right out the door and I'm there and it's dry!
