If I've had my green wood out in the open air and sunshine cut/split/stacked for 2 years, and I move it when it's dry from rain etc. into a shed like this and stack it in on pallets, do you think there would be any issues for that burning season? I would intend to refill it each year with at least 2 year open air seasoned wood. I am thinking 8Wx8Lx7H which would give ma 3.5 cord capacity if it was completely full.

There is no real air flow. You need to vent the back and sides. The front opening should be facing the summer prevailing winds. Definitely stack off the ground. My sheds are a minimum of 8 inches up

To speed up your drying time you need air flow
