log storage shed ideas

[tomg]

I used to use an old pig ark "roof"; that is semi circular corrugated iron about 6 foot across and 12 foot long. Stack the wood in a pile in a dry stone wall style to the width of the footprint of the pig ark "roof" and length to support the shelter and whatever height you have wood to store. Trick was use the seasoned wood from one end then shuffle the roof along a bit, thereby creating an overhang at the other end for your new cut wood. I found that by the time I had used up the initial pile the start of the new cut was ready to use. I had several of them used for various temporary shelter purposes; so a new start could be made when I had reached the end of the plot. Needs a bit of space though but within reason quite a large travelling log store on these lines could be created on a pair of skids or wheels and dragged along with a tractor. Anybody else done this?

 

We have some of these sheets we salvaged when scrapping some old pig arcs if anyone is after some!

So long as you tarred the elements of the timber going into the ground, I could supply you with a pile of poplar for constructing a shed for £212 a cubic metre (£6 a cubic foot) plus delivery. I did a 22 cubic metre capacity store with about 1.5 cubic metres of Oak, and I over sized everything.
