Your good to go, it has a roof, that is all that really matters, along with keeping everything off the ground.
The sides won't matter much, although I would have had the roof extend out a foot or so past the walls and opening, all the way around.

The roof is extended on the front and back but I was using metal left over from doing our roof and I mismeasured on the width. That's the great thing about it. The frame was a run-in in the horse pasture that we took down, the metal was left over and all the side wood was scraps from a friends sawmill so the only things I had to go buy was 3 bags of concrete and a box of screws. Will pallets be sufficient for stacking? I am undecided about which direction to stack, front to back or put up a brace next to the four wheeler and stack side to side. I think I'm going front to back.

I now see that you want to keep your gear in there, too. Makes sense. I don't have sides on mine and everything has been drying superbly so far. I stack side to side, and I'm always ginning up some side support so I can stack wood into every nook and cranny. The irony will be that you don't need sides, but you'll want something strong so you can keep jamming splits in there.
