    Browsing the interweb, like every night, for free wood and this goes across my screen.

    Darn! Wish I could afford to support these guys and gals. Very nice woodshed! Wonder if anyone on FHC had any influence?

    nice price and nicely build but it seem they mean 3 face cord (or one real cord) ?

    it seem to be 8x4, the height is difficult to tell

    That popped up a year or two ago here.... I believe a member bought one IIRC.
    Well built!

    Just counting that 5/4 decking I'd say it's closer to 12' long. That would work out to 4 sheets of roofing wide instead if 2.5 too.

    Looks like you can fit 2 2x4s between every girt so figure it to be 77" high.

    5.5x12x6 = 3 cord

    I have 2 of them.....they are 12' wide...4' deep n 8' high at front n roughly 7' at the back.....they will hold very near 3 cords.
    I just priced the lumber (excluding roofing).....$285.00 as i am planning on building 1 or 2 more..
    The price for these are very reasonable.
    These things are very heavy also.....

    for a comparison i made these myself at about 90$ +/- 5$ CAD (each, all included)

    they are 8 x (2 face cord or 18 inch maximum x 2) x 6 on the front and around 5.5 at the back, plastic roofing(siding)
    they are easy to move around if needed :D

    another view, there is a 4 inch spacing between each side
