Wood storage
« on: November 08, 2014, 05:15:03 AM »
Going to build a rather simple roof to cover my wood to season.  Looking for ideas.  Let's see pictures of your wood toppers

Mines just 16 wide x 8 deep x 7'6" tall at the front 6'6" tall at the back. All pressure treated lumber and some metal roof I salvaged. All the lumber,screws and quikrete minus  the ruff  cut boards on the ends was under $150.

I'm in the mountains of Virginia just 30 minutes from the Greenbrier resort in white sulphur  WV. I figure I burn 7-8 cord a heating season on my 2000sqft. Log home.

I have a lean-to 6'x16' 8' tall in the front 7' tall in the back. Works OK. I have used a 3 sided shed but didn't get enough air flow. Best thing I have found is to stack on a hayrack right off the splitter. Let it set outside for a year then back it in the machine shed until I need it. I have 4 8'x16' hayracks, 2 6'x12' hayracks and 2 steel pallets to store wood on. Works good if you have the shed space to store a couple of loads. This way I handle the wood much less.

Bajonesy,

That's a nice looking shed. I've added a lean-to 8' x 24' in front of my building.

I've never been able to collect enough wood during the off season to fill my shed.

I normally keep around a cord in the dry prepping for the up coming few weeks.

Bud man that's what I do split into bucket of loader then dump it in a hay wagon you can hear it screaming then let it sit outside all summer then get it under cover n pull it up next to stove n cover it good I put two pole in the ground to tie the tarp to so I don't have to be in the snow,rain when loading,less handing of the wood,I picked up a forage wagon for this also works good,I don't want a building where the stove is just my setup,I can't pile n cut n split where stove is
