    Well we have our new 3 bay 3 year rotation wood shed up and running. I call it the Savage.(you can probably guess why) This years wood racked and stacked. Lot more to do but, it's looking like a wood shed

    Looks great. What are the dimesions of each bay and how many cords to each bay? I am kind of looking at storage options. I burn about 2 1/2 cords per year heating 800 sq. ft.

    Each bay is 8ft wide 10 deep and 8 highon one end and 10 high on the other. I'm putting 2.5 cords of mixed hedge and red oak in each. I'm heating 1200 sqft. Thanks

    Nice wood shed!!!! I keep seeing all these shed builds and it really makes me think to put one up!!! Wish I had a mill since I've got access to a bunch of treated timber.... :whistle: Anyway... I like the rotationary set up I have a terrible time with that and not having to move wood a bunch of times...

    I might struggle with it too. But, I'm pretty solid on 2 to 2.5 cords a year. So hope I'm close

    Thanks buddy. It better be around awhile. It's facing west so it's gonna get a lot of wind. So it's built like a tank.

    Yes, nice shed! How did you make the footers? Concrete?

    The 3 bay idea seems to be the best way to go as you'll have 3 years with of wood to rotate into the mix. That's what I'll plan on as well, 3 bays, each bay being 1 year of wood.
