First try at a winter wood shed

The open section facing the pool, is that deep enough to fit a few rows of splits?

 

It's 10'x14' under the roof I think it will hold about 2-3 cords depending on how hight I stack it. I was thinking one 4'x14' pallet on the back wall. I made a plywood cover for the open window.

 

Very nice construction.
Got a pic of the other side ? Is the other section for wood too ?

Gonna be some cool pics of it full of firewood.

 

yep! the wife will have it full of patio furniture in the winter and your wood will still be out in the yard
Very nice gboutdoors!!!

 

Here are a few more shots:

First two are of the back area that has the pump and filter in it. I could stack a cord in it also for the winter I guess . Next is a side view of the open area.Then from the patio area . And lastly a view of the house from inside the cabana. Jane and I built the house 6 years ago and a barn 5 years ago she did the heavy looking on and clean up everyday.

 

I think if you drain that pool you could probably stack 7-8 cords in it, in-ground. above-ground you could double that

 

I have always stacked outdoors and on pallets. If you think it works just stacking on the concrete I may give it a try. Thanks

 

What kind of slab do you have under your new building?

 

I'd elevate the wood off the concrete. Concrete can sweat, so even a 1/4" of the concrete will help, especially if air can get under the wood.

 

6" concrete with wire and fiberglass .

 

Use the pallets...air is crucial and will speed seasoning-very nice building you have there

 

Concrete is very porous. It attracts, releases, moisture with changes in temp. IDK if its enough to effect your wood in the few months its stacked in there. I'm thinking this is just a dry place to put your seasoned wood near the house during the heating season. Probably not much need for skids under the wood, but you could make it an experiment, One side with skids, one side no skids and report your findings here.

 

I always thought fiberglass in a pool area was a no-no
sounds ouchy on bare feet

 

I'd say if he put something down on the concrete before the pallets like some tyvek or heavy plastic, that may eliminate the moisture issue.
And I've got Fiberglas in my garage slab and it doesn't seem too bad on my bare feet, then again my floor has had some abuse, it's kinda smooth now. It was textured once

 

Woodshed?? That's nicer than most of my past apartments!!

 

The glass is only in the cabana/bar/wood shed slab. My concrete guy wanted it there for more strength. I never asked why not in the patio slab but now I guess I know why.

 

It's almost bigger than our first house but that was a life time ago.
