Show me your firewood storage/shed/rack......please :-)

my unfinished store 1.6 x 8m made from old pallets and saw offcuts.

OK, here's mine.

This is just my home store for domestic use. It used to be a hayshed to store the old-fashioned

rectangular bales. We no longer use those and the haylage bales don't need to go inside.

Trouble is, the design is so open that it needs something in there to stop the winter

storms blowing it apart from the inside. I tend to wall up the south-western sides with logs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've separated the shed into three internal bays. Each can hold around 10 cubic meters

and is raised by about three pallets to let the air circulate beneath.

 

I've been heating my home by wood for eighteen months so far and reckon I'm using

15 cube per year. I try to buy in two bays worth of cut 'ready to burn' timber and

store it in the shed for a year before burning it. Once it's been there a year I move the

driest stuff to another barn which doesn't have so much airflow so is ok as a store but no good for seasoning.

 

 

 

 

 

The middle section gives me a sheltered chopping area (when it's not full of logs that is).
