Show Us Your Wood Shed

[jblnut]

Not quite a “shed” but yesterday I started in on filling the wood pile back up for this coming fall.

7-8 more 2 cord loads like that and I think it’ll about be full !!

I wish I had room for that much wood! Thats great that you do, and you use it.

I still use dog tags on the new sheds, the only real way to keep track with my bad memory. Now I have teacup hooks on the soffit of each shed bay, and just hang the tags from those:

Another observation: I end up going total Tetris on filling these sheds, stuffing the top splits up into the rafters, and tight up against the soffit. These photos were taken in fall 2023, so after 4 years of drying, and you can see how much the stack height decreased due primarily to loss of moisture. Just eyeballing, the stack dropped maybe 8". I don't remember exact height of stack, it gets deeper as you go back, but maybe 6' 8" at soffit.

Now you have me wanting to measure a fresh cut split with calipers and then measure it again in a year.

Yeah it's definitely a Costanza in the Pool deal with the "Shrinkage"

We put the last few screws in this one today. The storage area is 24'x8' so she can hold nine cords. The plan is to burn three cords (one bay) per year and have the other two bays seasoning.

My kids (12 and 10) and I put her up in two weekends. I designed it around standard lumber sizes so the build required very few cuts. I ordered custom roof trusses from Menards and got those along with the lumber, roofing and hardware in one delivery.

This thread provided most of my inspiration so thank you to everyone who posted pictures and comments.

Nice job. Looks good and the clear roof is a bonus.

I love the access from both sides that's handy with sheds that deep.

Really nice! Do you have additional supports under the floor pieces? It’s hard to tell how long those spans are. Would love to see some dimensions and/or close-up pics if you have time.

Edit to add: sorry, obviously they are 8 feet long from the dimensions you posted - but still curious about whether they have/need more support along that length.
