Finally got these finished up to store next years wood supply. I am tired of stacking, loading, and restacking my wood in the garage. The plan is to load these and leave them to season outside. Once needed I will just pull the whole bunk into the garage with rolling cart I built and my garden tractor.
The metal frames were salvaged as is from a local implement dealer's shipping crates, I painted them up with implement enamel, and then built the wood floors and sides. I got seven of them built this year. They are a little over 7' long, about 40" wide, and 5' tall racks. Enough to hold approximately 0.9 cord cutting my normal 18-20" firewood.
They vary somewhat depending on what equipment was in them. I left the bracing bars in them in order to keep the strength and in order to go higher up with the wooden sides.
Hopefully they will work well and I should be finding out pretty quick. Total cost was under $400 for everything.
