Back around Labor Day 2023 I made this heavy duty firewood trailer out of an old military generator trailer. It holds a good amount of wood, 9'10" long x 7'6" wide x 3'0" high sides. and I'm thinking of building a roof for it that is removable with my tractors loader. Thinking of making wooden trusses of sorts that slide into the uni-strut. Covered with either a heavy duty tarp or metal panels. Would leave a few inches of air space for cross ventilation. The trailers sides are now heavy duty expanded metal, and it has a tailgate. Would go up another 6-12" then turn into a triangle/gable. Anyone else have images of their covered wagons/trailers?
My main woodshed holds 8 full cords and is about 150 feet from my house. The trailer would be parked next to the basement hopper window with a slide. We recently got a new heating system, so the area I used to store firewood is now full of shelving. My basement storage went from 3 cords to 3/4 cord. I'm trying to avoid having to drive across the lawn as often, especially when the ground is unfrozen, soft and wet
Mount unistrut open side up on the side panels, cut a piece of wire hog panel the right length so that it bows up to the degree that you'd prefer when the ends are dropped into the unistrut, zip tie a tarp over. Easy on/easy off
I had chute system like that for a house I used to lived in. Back the pickup truck right up to the cellar window and slide firewood into the basement. Stacks were 6' from the woodstove, it was a sweet setup.
