No, I'm not a hunter, just never got into it, maybe I should take it up, a set of Moose antlers mounted on the shed would look awesome....no?
Awesome shed Dave . What kind of wood is it made from? Is the roof sheet iron running left/right? I don't see any lathes on the roof poles.
8 x 50 x 7.5(average). I've got 5 rows of 18" splits, plus I'm sure there is a lot of air space in the uglies bin as they are just thrown in, so I'm guessing real cords is probably 20-21, about three years worth.
Awesome shed for sure and there is your little well trained buddies standing at attention Did you use Tenon joints?
Awesome Dave! Yeah, I'm interested in exactly how the poles went together on that shed. If I could build one just like your small shed you are taking down, I'd build one for my parents first, then for myself.
Really nice work. The other good thing about your shed is low cost by using the poles. Building a shed with all new materials is hard to justify. The price of building materials is high! Especially with so many things getting in the waylike buying new saws... Ditto on wanting to find out about the joints. My guess is brace pins?
Ok Dave I found your build thread http://firewoodhoardersclub.com/forums/threads/wood-shed-build.711/
It's all spruce. The roof sheets are running front to back and no lathes or purlins...yet, just rafters. I was building and filling the roofless shed at the same time because the pile of splits was in the way of where I wanted the shedAnd I didn't want to move them twice. Building with logs like that is a lot of "cut to fit and install" as opposed to "measure and cut and install"...if that makes any sense, anyway when I built the little shed I learned that it was easier to fit in the purlins between the rafters after the metal roof sheets were on the rafters...I plan to add purlins from underneath as the shed is emptied...although it held up fine to 3 feet of snow on it this winter...prolly because the stacks were right up tight to the underside of the metal.
QUOTE="HDRock, post: 307242, member: 72"]Ok Dave I found your build thread http://firewoodhoardersclub.com/forums/threads/wood-shed-build.711/[/QUOTE] Yep, that's the little shed I built first without much of a plan, kinda just happened one weekend. That shed just donated it's roof to the big shed and will be dismantled. Learned a few things building that one that made the big one a "new improved version". That little shed was built on top of pallets that were sitting on pieces of pt 6x6, was not attached to the ground...was not a good plan, but was the best I could come up with at the time without burying the raw spruce log into the ground. This time I used OZ posts, worked much better. I did get a little "fancier" with the joinery this time but nothing special, it is after all just a wood shed. The basic idea was the same, just try to make the joint flat and run a screw through it.
I'm looking to build a shed like this! Color me stupid but I have 2 questions. How do you screw the roof down? It'll hold a man? Did u just trim the base of your posts square to fit in the oz thingy?
