Wood stacking question

[Get Wood]

I am starting plans on my wood shed and wanted to see how every one else stacks wood in their shed.
After it has dried 2 to 3 years outside and you put in your wood shed do you leave any space for air? If it is dry I don't see any reason to leave any space if it has a roof over it.

We stack 3 rows in the barn every fall. Stack it tight. We even stack it right up to the roof.

Yah, once its dry you can stack is nice and tight.

Thanks, that is what I was thinking just wanted to make sure. Just want to do this once and get it right the first time.

Yep;
tight , to & in the rafters.
Helps the roof handle even more snow load. LOL

That looks good. I am thinking around four year supply 15 to 20 cord. Maybe when I get it built you could take a vacation come down and show me how you do that. After the first 10 or 12 cord I could take it from there.
