We have used wood to heat for decades, and now are making some syrup. With the recent LP SCARE, I was able to talk the "Boss" into building a wood shed.
When this shed is completed, I know I will dearly miss: Iced/wet/frozen wood, re-tarping, torn and weather beaten tarps, leaking tarps causing WET wood, and my all time favorite,.............tarps frozen down so bad you have to cut them at the ground to get your wood.
That being said, I have envied so many of you seeing the photos of your wood sheds. I don't have an official "plan" but have preliminary "permission" to build about a 16' x 24' shed.
This shed will have a concrete floor as I also forgot to mention about tripping and sliding on the landscape timbers, and if you have never had a ground hog in your wood pile on dirt,..................you have never been really pissed off.
The sides are being proposed as "slatted" somewhat like a corn crib. I would utilize the re-sawn cedar poles like our shack has. (see photo)
I am planning on the front having an opening of 8' that you can back the wood rack in on the back of the tractor, and or put the loader bucket in and then load out of the weather,.....................or just fill the whole thing with wood!
My questions is: From a design perspective, how problematic is snow blowing in to a slatted wall on a structure thus filling the wood with snow?
AND if you could rebuild yours,......................what things would you think you could have done, or done better.
THANKS!
