Nice job, how many face cord does it hold?
Zap
Not sure how many cords it holds. 128 square feet to a cord of wood. It took me a long time time to split and load, I had a splitter but had to move the wood up from the front yard where I unloaded my pickup. The first section is mostly dead oak that I had stacked this spring in another part of the yard. My girl told me to "get it moved" because it looked bad. She asked me if I was a hillbilly living in the suburbs? I said yes and proud to be one.....
I am proud to say that all this wood came from my tree cutter friends and a small tornado that came to south Minneapolis this summer. Ash, white and Chinese elm, black locust and hard maple came from the storm. Should be ready for 20010/2011. I got it all for free. It took many hours away from fishing and riding my Motorcycle......

Based on the 24x5 footprint and stacking 6 feet high, you should get roughly 5.5 cords in there if you pack it tight. A little less than 5 cord if you want to leave room between rows.

Thanks Backwoods Savage, drinking cold beer helped me complete the project with the warmer weather.
Nice looking shed!! I meant to get one built this summer, but it looks like that's not gonna happen.......Oh well, it's not like we get a ton of rain here in Oregon in the winter.........

no I am not. You should see the plant they put up to make that Bike. They got the tax payer to front the bill. I think it was a cool bike. How about you?

Well, I kinda had to do it that way. It is built along a privacy fence. I have been wait for it to rain to see if the rain stays out of the shed. I am just glad it is done.
