OT - Firewood storage

Lets see some pictures of your firewood storage sheds. I need to build one that will hold 3 or four cords.
 
car port from menards.. Same investment as building a good wood building and can use it for something else if needed you can also move it around...
 
This is 3 cords of dry/seasoned Fir firewood under a 'lean-to' 10 steps from the wood heater. HTH-- Oops, only 2.5 cords. Couldn't find the 'full' pic. b

Bob Harvey- What dimensions do you call a cord of firewood? Just curious.

I always was taught that a cord of firewood was 4 foot wide x 4 foot tall X 8 foot long.

I would have termites in my house if the wood was stacked up against it like that. I need to have separation to keep them out.
 
I store my wood stacked on skids and covered with metal siding/roofing sheets. Also use heavy plastic off of a greenhouse.

My plan is for a 12x24 pole shed with a 6x6 room at one corner for saws and fuel. I figure I can put about 12+ full cord if I stack 6 foot high. That should be enough for most of a winter...I hope.
 
Yup, generally people speak in terms of face cords, though you will get some that deny there is such a thing as a face cord.

When you read ads for firewood in the paper and on craigslist, they are selling it by the face cord. A standard cord is a huge pile of wood, and someone would be nuts to sell one for $75-$100 cut, split and delivered.
 
Thanks that is sort of what I am looking to build myself. Is there any foundation in the ground on that or is it just setting on skids?
 
Built my wood/tractor shed last summer The inclosed wood end holds 17.5 cord when stacked to the rafters. It also has room for 4 tractors and some smaller things, and the other end is enclosed and used as a spring hot house for garden plants. It measures 72x12' I built it mostly from leftover stuff that I had when I retired from the building business. I don't even have to go outside to get wood to stoke the Royall wood boiler in my shop. Last year I burned just over 12 cord of wood heating our entire house and my shop.

Not very impressive, but here is mine. I just split enough for a few days. Then do it again. I can usually bring in enough for one night's fire. then bring in a log to keep the fire burning all night. It doesn't get that cold in my part of California to keep a fire going all day. My wood stove is all I use for heating my house. The cats get the only electric heater in their own room at night. Stan

I have three good hay wagons that I can put a cord a piece on them and put tarp on them and pull one along the back door when I need it.I also stack some in ranks on ground and tarp over top of them but leave sides open so air can get through.
 
That's awesome! But a bigger project than I am up for or need. I just need someplace to keep a few cords of wood dry to feed our fireplace when it is cold in the winter. I don't heat with wood, wish I could sometimes!
 
I do the same thing with garden tractor wagons but I don't have enough wagons to hold a whole winters supply. I pull the wagon right into our garage and then I don't have to go outside for more wood when we have a fire.
 
I have to carry mine to basement and carry a little every other day. I keep a 2 rank in basement all the time so I don't have to go outside if weather is real bad.
