my wood shed build

[Glenn]

I built a woodshed a while back.  I've wanted to post it for some time but never got around to it. 

Keep in mind that i'm not a carpenter so there may be some mistakes but they aren't noticeable driving by !

It is built all with old lumber i had lying around.  I used 2x8 for the roof and 5/4 x 5 for the walls.  I left about a 2 1/2 " space between the boards for air circulation.  It holds about 25 face cords of firewood and is piled on top of small arm sized logs so it is off the ground.  Sonotubes were used so the posts would last forever.

I have since built another bigger one on the other end of the building and plan to build three more in the future.  You can never have too much room !

Looks great to me.  How do I view your gallery?

Ok I figured out how to view your gallery.  Very Nice!! 

I had a barn that I cleaned out and just stacked it all inside.  It won't get the air like I need but when It gets hot this summer I plan to put a fan in the open doorway.  I'm thinking It'll dry enough in 8 months to burn next winter.  I'll take some pictures today and try to make my own gallery.  I have no idea how many cords of wood I have, I'm just trying to fill the barn.  ;D

Thanks guys.  I should have built something like this years ago.  Its a great way to store wood and it dries well in there too.  I fill it green !!
