Firewood Storage Shed
I have a customer that sent me this picture:
 Seems simple enough, not concerned about the construction, but looking for suggestions on wood type. Cedar, P/T? Thanks in advance. |

Re: Firewood Storage Shed
Cedar vs. PT is all about what they want to spend.
I would use pt for the fact that the bottom boards and posts should last longer.

Re: Firewood Storage Shed
Pt and metal roof. Maybe composite for the deck.
Rabbet the posts ,before setting them, for the slats and use the ripping for a stop behind the slats. Fast and easy

Re: Firewood Storage Shed
Rough sawn Hemlock will last pretty good as long as it's not in contact with the ground. The bottom being gapped for air is great as long as the HO realizes that things will be growing up through and slippery things will be inside. Plastic underneath with pea gravel works pretty good at keeping moisture and weeds down under the building.

Re: Firewood Storage Shed
I use skids for the bottom that I get free from shingle deliveries, etc.
