I have empty 2X4 racks and empty pallets everywhere and I’ll be emptying more this afternoon. I have logs to process and trees to cut down, but I’ve still been pondering whether or not to contact a tree service to dump at my place. That’s just straight mental illness
One benefit of your wood shed is that you could dismantle it for additional firewood if you ever got desperate. Kind of like having chowder in a bread bowl or taco salad in a tortilla bowl. There are a lot of impressive wood sheds on this forum, but when I finally build one I’m aiming for something like yours.
You know, I actually never thought of that I went with the cedar posts because they were both free and long dead, lying on the forest floor. It was actually DaveGunter who kind of inspired me to go this route. When I first joined up I remember seeing pictures of his sheds which I believe are framed with spruce from his land. I really like the idea of using natural materials for aesthetics, practicality and admittedly frugality.
Here's a snow covered half stack. BL stack has been there for over 2.5 years and now decides to take a header.
I would have used cedar if I had it available at our old place. Plenty of cedar at our new place, maybe someday I'll build one here. The spruce poles were not in contact with the ground, I used metal post anchors driven into the ground and attached the spruce posts to that, to my knowledge that shed is still standing strong.
No snow this year so far in western NC but I did burn a boat load. Bucked this stuff up a few days ago for next year. All my wood is free from commercial tree cutters or residential cutters that don't want to haul it off or burn it themselves .
Not much of a stack. Not much snow. I just restacked the BL branches. Now standing vertical until I cut to length. Better stacks. Still not much snow.
