    Some of you may remember my thread regarding the cedar first cuts I picked up. First time I've bought wood. $25 well spent

    Finally got the point of use wood shed done. I used 2 pallets as the base, treated 2x4's for the corners. I used the cedar for the back and sides. I had a couple sheets of corrugated tin for the roof. Used some leftover paint to cover the bottom and the face of the front. Overall it's 4 foot deep, 8 foot long and 52" at the front and 48" at the rear. It should hold a cord. I thought of making it a little taller, but didn't want to obscure line of sight. Turned out pretty good for what I needed, and really didn't cost much as I had everything on hand.

    Don't really need another one. I refill it as I use from it, and I'm working on getting all my stacks top covered.

    Beautiful! I’m a big fan of the 4’ x 20’ brown tarps BTW… surprisingly durable and perfect for two spaced rows.

    Looks good. I still have some tin left, if I don't have enough I'll buy what little I'll need.

    Looking good, cedar has such a great color. I’ve been browsing all the shed threads on here, a build is coming soon for me. Gotta get the splits off the ground.

    Chipmunk was checking it out the other day when I was putting some wood in it. It didn't stick around long once I started dropping splits.
