Shed for seasoned wood

[Hunter8282]

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

This shed has removable back panels and vented sides with extended roof overhang

Op is talking about storing already dried wood I think it's fine. With enough time you could even dry green wood in that shed.

I think putting 2 year open-dried wood in that shed is perfectly fine.
It won't gain more moisture for sure, if off the ground. It'll loose some depending on temps, wind, and (a little) sun.If your wood generally is good after your first 2 years, then this shed surely won't make it worse.
All good imo.

Throw some pallets on the ground to keep the bottom row dry. 2 year dry wood will stay dry in there. If you really want put it up on cinder blocks to keep air moving under it and through the pallets. Nice shed.

What do you all use for flooring? I'm planning to build 8X10 shed for, thinking to hold 2.5-3 cord of wood, looking at 15000 lb give or take.

I used 8*10s as decking boards for the floor. With 2-3" space between them for air flow.
Mostly old deck joists.
Mounted on top of new joists.

I put down 4mil plastic sheet on the ground as a moisture barrier then laid 2 x 4 sleepers on that to stack the wood.

Concrete block with 4x4 stringers keeps it off the ground and elevated by 8"
