That looks good. That will be a wood-drying machine.
With that floor incorporated into the structure, if wind hits it the massive weight of the wood will keep it from flying off.
Remember, it happened to Dorothy, and she didn't land in Kansas. Got real weird for Dorothy.

Have you thought about leaving the back open? You can stack/ pull wood from both sides. I’m glad I did with mine. Just an idea.

Nice shed!
I second what walhondingnashua said. I originally had slats on the back of mine however after a couple seasons of rotating the remaining wood at the end of the burning season to load less-seasoned wood, I pulled the back slats off. Makes it much easier to access and load now.

12 wide 10 deep. Stack 6 high should give a little over 5.5 full cord.

Looks good, though I might add some diagonal corner braces to the shed to prevent it from racking over time.

I'm liking that wood shed so much that I have printed a picture of it and started adding some dimensions. It's looking like if I make it 12 feet deep and 24 wide and stack it 6 feet I could get 6.75 cords per side. Having the back open is a great idea.
Are those 8X8's? Hemlock? My buddy has a band saw mill and I also have a hemlock mill 45 mins from the house so I have two options.

I don't want to hack someone else's post so I'll make a new thread with some pics from the build if that will help. It was built ten years ago so the dimensions are no longer in my memory banks however I can grab a tape measure and get you any sizes you want. It holds close to 8 cords (total) at 16" lengths.
No hemlock, all pine.
Here's the link to the new thread with pics:
