I have found lots of great info on this forum on how to build a standalone wood shed. Unfortunately, I don't have space for a freestanding shed, but I think I can squeeze some wood storage right next to the garage. Perhaps 15' long by 4' deep and 5' high (the height limit is driven by a window on the garage wall.
I'm looking for advice on how to build something simple and not too expensive. I have salvaged concrete blocks from removing a chimney that I can use for the base. I'm figuring 4"x4" posts at the outside corners set into prefab concrete footings, but what additional supports are needed on the sides and garage wall? For the roof, can I use some corrugated plastic panels that I have on hand? If so, how do you attach them so they won't blow off in the Columbia River Gorge winds? Does the wood need to be held off the garage wall siding (cedar board & batten) to keep pests from migrating out of the wood? Any other tips?
Sorry for the barrage of questions, but thanks in advance, especially for any pictures!
