Best wood shelter design?

[Stevietrees]

Hi all. I would be very grateful if I could get some suggestions on how to build a firewood shelter. It will be about 20ft by 10ft and 8ft high. Limited budget as usual. Maybe you have a picture?

I don't think it matters too much.... just vented sides, open front and slanting roof. Oh and a few pallets to keep the wood off the ground!

Use the search button at the top and type in "log store" and search for it in post titles, it will give you plenty to look at

There is no hard and fast rule for wood store construction. All mine are pallet stores (4 pallets - one bottom, one each side, one top, screwed/nailed together with felt on top - holds 0.9 cubic metres and takes 10 minutes to erect) but are well sheltered under a huge Thuya, so don't get wet.

 

If your's is out in the open build it with hefty overhangs to stop rain reaching it. A simple sloping roof is easiest, and build is very strong and compartmentalise it. The weight of the wood in a store that size could easily blow the sides out!

Use 4 Heras fence panels, just leave a gap in one corner to get in and a tarp thrown over the top and your up and running in 5 minutes for about £40

20' ISO Flat Rack with a good canvas tarp. Keeps the rain off and allows wind and sun. Can be used for fencing stakes/panels.

Thanks for all the ideas. Pallets and tarps sound nice and cheap. SOLD

Might have a bash at making one of these if I have a quiet year
