I ordered a new shed to stack lumber under. 20 x 21 x 12 foot high. They came yesterday from Virginia and had it up in 2 hours.
Now I can take the backhoe and move my bigger lumber in the shed to air dry.


 

I have in there now, Magnolia, Elm and Persimmon. These big cants can breath now and later be re-sawn.


  

 


The older I get I wish my body could Re-Gen.

Mine will be here Tuesday, only 8 foot tall, too much wind around these parts for taller.  Congrats and fillerup.
Retired to the ranch, saw, and sell solar pumps.

I will take the persimmon.

That's a good looking shed.  Is it 12 feet on the side or the center?

It amazes me how much it shrinks.  I cut some on the quarter a full 3" thick.  Three and a half months later, it has shrunk to 2 3/4" in thickness.  That is 1/4" in 3" and I am sure that it is not done yet.

I sawed the Persimmon 4 inches thick x wide.....8 and 10 wide.....I'm gonna just hold on to it. No plans....but just to say I have some and you don't.  smiley_nananana

I like the idea of making cants, storing under cover and milling later into boards.  Nice Shed, Post.

If I don't hurry and put the extra bracing I bought on it....you may just be right Peter.  :D :D :D :D

I see you got the "option" of the 45 braces at each leg. I bought one like that once and did not get them. I regretted it later.

Now that you have cants stacked under it, couldn't you consider it used?

Been looking at a few like that myself for lumber storage. I really don't have time right now to build anything. Heck, for $600, they will install it. ;D

How much you saved by installing it yourself?
