sb47 - How long are the skids (8'?) and how much do you think it weighs loaded with wood? Do they pull ok or do they sink into the ground?
When empty they don’t weigh much. I can scoot them around and in place by hand.
You would need a weight chart to determine how much the wood weighs.
My guess is around 1700 lb’s. They are just a little over 8 feet overall so that the inside measurement is 8’2” and just under five feet tall and 26” deep.
I have a divider in the middle so I can pull out a ¼ cord and it gives the middle some support.
I have plywood on top with a tarp covering the top and back with some tar paper covering that. When I find some scrap roofing shingles, I’ll put them on top to shed the rain. There under some live oaks so it doesn’t get much rain on it.
I did put a couple of treated 2x6 flat on the bottom so I can skid them around, but I never move them.
So far its worked out pretty good.
I have just put in another row down the side fence line but I just used t-post and treated 4x4’s to set it on, and I just cover it with a piece of plywood.
As far as sinking, the flat 2x6’s keep it from sinking. Besides, the ground here is very hard most of the time.
