Porch storage solution

[BucksCoBernie]

Well instead of picking up another hoop I decided to make use of some of the pieces of wood i had laying around. i built this L shape holder to hold the thinner splits and will use the hoop for fatter splits for overnight burns. Having a brick house helps me feel better about the bug potential...theres nothing for them to eat.

Right now I have 2 full wheelbarrow loads on the L holder....could probably fit another 2 or 3 more before it gets to the top of the side piece.

Looks like an excellent solution ... although you might need a 45 degree brace there at the L joint as once it's full there will be quite a bit of pressure pushing on it. And yes, the brick really helps!

I like it...has a visual appeal to it.

Loose the hoop and add to the L bracket...you will have more wood. I use 2 4.5 ft uprights and 10 foot spans for wood...then another 4.5 x 8 ft for a total of snpiy 225 vu ft of storage. It lasts about a month in the extreme cold. Then fire up the tractor and trailer for another few loads back up by the house.

Thats not a bad idea actually. I could move the hoop to the other side of the door and expand the L.

The other day I made a 40" W x 36" H x 16 " D wood holder from a cut-down pallet and old plywood and put it in the protected "alcove" area of our patio. I put the plywood on 3 sides to protect the window it backs up to. I didn't take a pic 'cuz it's so ugly, but it holds about 4 wheelbarrows of firewood protected from rain - much easier when raining than goin' out to the main piles and moving the tarps. The "crate" sits next to our previous wood storage in that area - a little red wagon (1970's style) that holds about one nite worth of wood for our wood hungry FP.
