We made 2 firewood racks tonight, 15 1/2 inches wide / 4 feet long and the end braces are 4 feet high.

Nice contraptions tho

Those look nice - and much better than the loose stack on the porch!

Looking good...you might want to lag bolt the bottom uprights in 2 places to prevent them from spreading under load.

Nothing better than a couple of nice racks to look at.....

Another simple and potentially useful change would be to nail or screw a 2 x 4 on the top of the two uprights on the left . . . and ditto for the right upright . . . and then run a single or double 2 x 4 across the top to make a "box" -- this would keep the uprights from spreading outward from the weight of the wood pushing against them.

I have two 2x4's 41 inches long that are going on the inside of the bottom against the uprights so when we stack the wood it will not spread.
