Hi All,
My wife and I are having a shed/garage built, probably 14x24. I have approximately 7 cords stacked on our property that are slated for use 11/12 and 12/13 (avg 3 to 3.5 cords/year). I'm wondering if I should put a lean-to off the building for firewood storage? My property is rectangular - with my front door facing darn near due east. The front of the garage will also face due East and I'd like to put the lean to on the back side of it - due west. This will mean the wood will get no direct sun and minimal wind because our lot backs up to the woods. Am I making a mistake by not letting the wood season out in the warm Delaware summer sun? The picture I'm including is of the dog kennel that is currently in place of where the garage will sit. The entrance to the kennel is facing due east. I'm hoping this will provide some insight, because I'm worried that putting the wood under roof will hinder it seasoning through the summer despite being a big help over the winter.
Opinions please, what should I do?
Thank you!
