It is the final stacking area, but I do have access to the back. I made sure of that just in case. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Glad you like the shed! I’m happy that there is a place where people appreciate it, and that it is not just my wife humoring me. I hadn’t planned on the extra bay originally, but I figured why not use the existing roof. That section was quick, easy and cheap. The posts are not in concrete. Most are buried about 40” give or take. I tamped the bottom of the holes, put some drainage stone in and tamped again, then put a little more stone in and then backfilled with dirt. I had considered concrete but it was going to be another cost. Luckily a couple years ago “ground contact” pressure treated wood came back onto the market in my area (I don’t know how it is in the rest of the country). The old stuff was good and didn’t rot, the stuff over the last decade or so was pretty much worthless. So I’m keeping my fingers crossed with this newer version of GC PT Wood. And the stone is at least 3-4” deep in most areas, maybe more. Where the original shed stood already had stone so that area is probably 6-8” deep now! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I am hoping not. Without four walls and no floor I don’t believe it is considered a permanent structure. I kept the main structure (3 main bays) under 200 sq ft (198 sq ft; 22x9), so a building permit was not required. I’m sure the town would have preferred I pulled a zoning permit, but in my mind it is in the same place as the old shed (just significantly longer). If it becomes an issue, I suppose I will have to pay for the zoning permit and disconnect my 4th bay. That would only require a couple 4x4s. Hopefully nobody says anything. I know my neighbors won’t complain. I just comes down to whether someone in the town happens to see it and look into it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Very nice build. Great shed. You and your friend did an excellent job. Hope to get our new shed started soon. It won't be that nice, have the posts and PT lumber bought, already have the pallets and metal roofing...
Took some pics when I got home today. One of the rear of the shed and one with the doors open. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It looks awesome! Great job. I asked about the span because I'm building a lean-to and a friend in the know told me I'd be fine with 6' too. My span is a bit longer.
It’s funny you say that because I thought it was sumac too at first. But then my son pointed out that the leaves were the same as the trees in the neighbors back yard. He said that tree drops some kind of nut. He was well aware because he’s been mowing their lawn for 2-3 years. He believed they were walnuts. So having no idea what walnut leaves actually looked like I looked up walnut tree leaves. They appeared to match. And when I looked at the bark closer, it wasn’t like all the sumac we had around when I was growing up. So I think they are walnut saplings. I can’t really let them get to big because they have sprouted up on a small bank behind the shed. But for now they provide a little something. I’m not really sure what that something is yet though.

Great woodshed. That looks superb, and should last many years. Anything over 144 sq ft requires a permit here.
Very impressive saewoody , I love pics of woodsheds (and many others do too). You can stand back and gaze at it and be proud!
The buried posts around here mean it's a building. So when I finally build mine, I'm not burying the posts, but rather build it with a floor, on concrete deck blocks. Then it's not a building that needs a permit, and can't be taxed. Yes it will cost more with more wood, for the floor, but it will be worth it.
Yep, that's black walnut saplings. I have plenty down here. If you decide to drop them, better spray the stumps ñdddd Sounds like the way I'm going to build our next big shed. 4" solid cap block, PT 4x4, fasten big pallets on that. I started the thread "wood shed floor" with pics of the 2 huge pallets we got,
Great build! I like the center bay storage concept. Sliders rather than swing doors was the right way to go. The actual door construction looks very nice!
