Your Wood Sheds. Post pics here.

Living in OR I can attest to this. Before I built my shed we did the whole tarp thing on top of pallets and there would be some mold/fungus here and there but I tried hard to keep rows separate (single row stacks) and only partially covered to promote airflow. Now with the shed I still stack in single rows with 6-8in gap between rows, don't not stack up all the way to the rafters, and designed the shed to keep all 4 sides open w/raised floor (per the wisdom on this forum) to promote air flow all around and underneath. No mold/fungus thus far that I can see. Funny enough while I was constructing the shed all my friends, in-laws, neighbors all asked, in their conventional wisdom, if I was going to sheath/enclose the entire thing. I said no and argued the position of promoting air-flow...some understood it, some did not.

My shed is not ventilated. See post #39. I only put wood ready to burn in at the beginning of the season. I don't want ventilation because the wood shed isn't for the wood, it is for me!.....so I am warm and cozy when I go to get wood for the house. I don't want the elements in my wood shed :coolgrin:

Now I'm glum. Here I was, having a perfectly good day and ta da ! I look at this thread. I'm just going to wander outside tonight and give the wood heap a good old fashioned kick or two and offer a gift to the Lumber Gods and see if they will send one of these sheds my way (they are probably scared of the potential wrath of my missus).

That said. If any of these wood sheds caught fire it would probably go off like a rocket, yet how long would it take to put out, especially some of the big sheds, and how would the fire dept do it as I'm sure they would smoulder for quite a while ?

Oh, we would dismantle the wood stacks to get to all the smoldering fire in order to put it out completely and then,....... we would haul all of the good wood off for the poor person :snake:

I sure hope mine never catches fire, plenty of air from all directions would help it go up extremely fast.

Wishlist yours looks like a rocket as well haha ! It's pretty cool.

Winter




Summer

really nice set up.

These pics are great! Mine is just an old pole barn that we've out grown.

Arggghhhh . . . start sharing will you? My sister just wrote me to tell how much riding they're doing . . . although she isn't too keen on going out when the temps dip into the negatives. She also said her husband was excited to find a trail system with a trail that led to a gas station . . . which she found funny since the trail system here in Maine almost always has trails to gas stations, restaurants . . . heck, I remember finding a trail leading to a strip club once.

I may just have to load the sled up and head north soon . . . they have enough snow way up north now . . . just means having to do the hotel thing . . . and traveling . . . I keep hoping we get some snow . . . some time.

Not really sure how my woodshed would catch on fire . . . maybe if some mice were smoking in my stacks or playing with matches.

Well cuss. I see some ideas for this summer's project list here....like we needed any more.

Really nice "Double L". Attic wood storage too.
With ladders & scaffolds , how tall is it??
Makes me think I should paint mine.

It is 9 & 1/2 feet to the collar ties.

this is my woodshed barn. both bays are for wood storage. front half is for the boiler/workshop. workshop boiler room is uninsulated and still is 9-10 degrees above exterior temperatures so far this winter. Im anxious to insulate it and see how warm i can keep it just from residual heat off the profab gasser.

Heres my woodshed and my Moonshine Shed

Beautiful. More pics please...

Images of wood stacking to this caliber should be banned for the sanity of us common folk. There is no way on this green earth could I ever stack to this perfection. Look at those end stacks for crying out loud.

Miserably

Some of that wood looks tiny!

Do you folks who stack like this make rows or just randomly place the wood in there?
