How about that? A place to keep the wood dry and a place for the kids. What's not to like?

how much is the rent??

That is more along the lines of what I was thinking of. I am considering something similar but I have to move 5 cords of existing wood to do it. I think I will draw up some plans and at least start thinking about it... I want mine open all the way around and not quite as tall as that. My one concern is wind loading and bracing with no shear walls... I will figure it out... maybe next summer I will build it.

holes filled with concrete with rebar eyes will tie it down or you could bury a "dead man" anchor. No time to post now, work is calling, but will draw up one today and post tonight. The anchor's are cool, because if you want to later move them, you can.

Bucket-your set for winter

That's why was was planning on 4x4's. Like the Black & Decker plan but over-engineered.

Better to go with some crushed black rock on the ground and then use some PTGC 2x4's to keep the firewood off of the gravel instead of having a wood floor. Less to rot. KISS.

Again, my 1st post, the 4x4 floor frame's going to be held up a few inches off the ground by pier blocks.

I understand, I was just making a comment on the design.

Not when you see Stam filling up the firepit right about where the photographer was standing!

Here's a sketch of a deadman anchor. The dimensions and depth can be adjusted for the appropriate loading. As you can see the anchor can be retrieved by unburying the chain which attached to the end.

I have seen this design used for oil rigs and buried eight feet down and then pulled right out when it was time to move the rig.

Hackin away--finish it up this weekend

Looks good.

Darn that was fun---we need ta toss some more meat on the fire---soon.

coho
I would set those rafters up not on there sides.Roof will sag if you do not.just an observation.

Copy that shinything-good eye.

Due to a laurel tree on roids --roof height --I kinda f'd that one up--I will be adding a metal roof and with the span of 4ft --I do not "think" I will be concerned with sag--seems pretty sturdy/solid

you could always add a rafter upright in the middle.Plumb cuts long to short perpendicular to the perlins.snow weight?

Not much snow undercover of the Laurel plus snow should slide off about 23degree slant

Got Wood!---Fits 1 cord to the gills


Bring on winter

Nicely done

Yeah! Lookin' good!
