This wood rack was built with scavenged materials and trees from my property. No nails were used. All done "bushcraft" style with cut notches and paracord. Approximate dimensions, 6 feet tall in front, 4 feet tall in back, 24 feet long and about 4 feet deep, so it will hold about two cords. Not bad for a free storage area.
Its actually four pieces of 12ft lengths, but it's the good old stuff... The stuff sold at Lowes is 26ga, and is very flexible. If were to guess those panels are at least 20ga and weigh about 50 pounds a piece. They are so rigid, I didn't need any cross braces. Quite a score in my book.
Not sure. There is an old dumping ground down in the State Forest near where I live. These were amongst old cars and 55 gallon drums. It took weeks to drag them out of the woods but I knew what I wanted them for.
Welcome to FHC. You'll like it here. We like dogs, beer and pics. A lot of people here with a lot of knowledge and ready to share.
Very nice shed. Welcome to the club. Lots of great folks here, sharing knowledge and humor. Great to have another member from Dixie here.
I love it. Nice and rustic and simple and serves the purpose. I scrounged some old aluminum roof panels from and estate clean up. Was going to scrap them but built a lean to shed for my friend. Mostly scrounged & reclaimed materials, some was deeply discounted cull lumber. Not quite finished. Welcome to the FHC btw! Nice to have you join us.
We lost this decent size White Pine to the wind last year. Today is the day to get it cleaned up. Didn’t take long to fill the wagon with these rounds.
These trees have been down several years from the wind. But are still solid enough for shoulder season firewood. The CS680 is tearing through them nicely. Lunchtime!
The splitting and stacking begins. Showed my son how to change the spark plug on the splitter. It didn’t want to start up quick so I said the heck with that and we ran up to Advance Auto and got a new one. Second pull she was purring like a kitten. Replacing a few wore out pallets as we go along. I’m going to save the older, rotten ones and bring them to our friend Pallet Pete ! Starting to get some rounds built up in here.
Kartman if my math is right that log is just shy of two cord 40"x40"=1600x.785=1256/144=8.73cubic feet per ft x 18=157.14 cubic feet There is approximately 80 cubic feet of solid wood per cord
I often reference this chart for a standing trees yield Kartman . Seems pretty accurate based on my experience. Estimating Firewood from Standing Trees - UNH Cooperative ... Problem is it only goes up to 22"
Scored a load of maple compliments of the local street department. Great workout after being inside for a few weeks.
