Yet another woodshed thread!!!

[sirbuildalot]

I am just finishing up my woodshed build. 24' x 6', back is 6'6", front is 8'. Should hold 6 cords with three 20" rows 6'6" high. The plan is to empty it every October-November to burn, and re-fill it right away for the next season. Ended up costing approx. $600 total.









Roof is papered, still have to apply the drip edge and shingles.











The flooring I got for free. Old mahogany deck boards. Cross braces will come off.














I've got several cords of logs I need to buck and split so I can fill it.








I have my 6 cords stacked in another area for this season. I will be bringing it in the cellar soon.

Thanks,

21 acres, 2 are cleared, 5 are swamp about a quarter mile away, and the rest is woods

Looks good.

If I may offer a suggestion... Leave the cross braces. Having the wood "segregated" a bit serves a useful benefit as you take wood out of the shed.

I'd probably leave the cross bracing as well. Just cuz.

Looks nice at any rate.

Nice job! And only $600 in materials? Very well executed - cheers

The perfect wood shed with lots of airflow.

Or just brace corners top and bottom to stop any front to back, wind racking. That is a great design, NICE.

Looks very nice. I have been contemplating building a wood structure like yours or go with a metal carport. A wood structure I can build myself. Metal carports are priced with installation included so no need to build anything.
After pricing materials vs. a metal carport is about the same. There are pro's and con's to both I guess.
Your shed looks go though. I like it.

Think I agree with others - some bracing may be warranted.

Nice! What did you use for roofing?

 

[sirbuildalot]

I will be using architectural shingles of the dark brown variety. Its about a 3/12 pitch, which is the lowest I would use shingles on, and most shingle manufacturers wont warranty anything less than a 3/12.
