I'm sure it's been done before, but with so many of us just now building our sheds, it would be great to see a variety of approaches. So, if you have a pic - post it. I'll be sure to post mine when it's finished.
 
This is what was at my house when I bought it last year. I plan to take it down and build a nice shed this fall.

Thanks for the links. I just wanted to see some pics of cool woodsheds that perhaps we haven't seen before. I guess I just can't get enough.
 
Here's mine. Just a simple lean to off the garage.

Thanks, 6 cords of Oak and Black Locust. I could probably squeeze in more but I only go through 3 cords per year.
 
Here are a couple pics of mine, I just put the finishing touches on it recently. It was made with mostly recycled skids, with pallets for a floor. The Tarp roof is secured on the sides with sand filled PVC pipe. I figure I have about 4 cords in there now, should be plenty for next winter.

All of you guys have some fine looking sheds and all that wood represents a lot of hard, but enjoyable work. Just think of all the dollars you'll be saving for many years now.
 
I'm going to be building my wood shed this summer. Keep the pics coming guys! I too would like to see what others have done. No point in reinventing the wheel!

This is my shed. It's about 5 years old. If I would do it all over again, I'd go a bit bigger and use more posts sunk into the ground. This one holds about 3 cords, which is how much I hope to keep my total burning down to next year. 1/2 is full of ash and oak cut and split over the winter. I use the other 1/2 of it for summer storage of lawnmower, and other implements of destruction.

The decking is 2x6" over 2 x 10" joists. There is a sag in the middle of it after about 3 years. The only posts that go below our frost line are the 4 corners. The middle supports were really afterthoughts as I was building. What I'm most proud of is the roof. It's standing seam metal that a friend had left over from his house. Lead coated Stainless steel! It will outlast the rest of the shed (and me, and my house, and, and, and...)

Last pix are of some other stacks I have. You can see my Holz Haus in the background.
