This looks like a simple, inexpensive and easy to build woodshed. http://burndryfirewood.com/docs/Wood_Drying_Shed_Directions.pdf
They do look simple and easy, I just wonder how they'd fare when empty in a windy area.... How much $ do you think each one would cost to build? If using PT, I'd guess about $80 ea.
They said it was $200 in the plans. What they didn't show in the pic was that they had slats on the sides and back to make it sturdier. If it can be done for under $100 it makes for decent drying shed.
Looks like I need to start watching the pallet yard for the appropriate scraps and I will have my new GREENHOUSE.
That looks great, I'm getting tired of dealing with tarps, I've got an unlimited supply of pallets from work.
The plans call for cedar as well. Is there a downside to using PT? I've been building racks but when you scale that up to holding a 3 year supply (12+ cords) it gets real expensive to anything other than free-stacking on pallets.
I've got a question about cedar. There is a farmer not far from me who sells cedar posts of various diameters and lengths, and his prices seem pretty reasonable to me. Does cedar need to be "processed" in any way to take full advantage of it's rot resistant properties? His logs are "raw" bark still on, just cut the tree down.
yea those look pretty straightforward. Im trying to decide if i should build some of these or continue to stack under my deck that is covered.
I wonder how long those 2x4 on the flat floor joists will last? Not sure how that roof will stand up to any real snow load either. Wouldn't take much to deal with both though.
You don"t have to do anything. Just put them in the ground. They are best if the post is about 50% heart wood or better.
The 50% or greater heartwood info is good to know. I would not have known that if you didn't mention it. Thanks, FF.
I can't see anything wrong with PT. It's not going to bleed toxins into the wood. Anyway, if that is a concern, let the shed get weathered for a few weeks. Cedar would be nice, but you are right about it costing too much for a wood shed. I would go with the PT.
That is part of the VA382 fencing standard when building fence with cedar posts, 50% or better heartwood must be used to meet the standard.
