Finished my firewood shed

[RWalls]

Well took 3 days, day one: set the posts, used 4x4's probably should've used 6x6 but oh well.

Day two: me and a buddy of mine put the trusses on in the rain, bad idea!

Day three: I put on the metal roof.

Reality was really about 3 half days. Now I need to fill it with firewood. It cost me about $900 and measures 16x24 but I set the posts 18x12. Metal roof color is called "burnished slate" blends well in the environment.

Nice work! It looks like you have the firewood ready to cut and split as well.

Looking good.

In my part of the world, I would have to put at least two sides on it or it wouldn't do much good. We always get wind when we get a storm so it rains or snows sideways. We can't keep anything dry with just a top on it.

Thanks

4x4s should be ok if you went back and put 45* braces at the top of each post so the winds won't twist it around. Now get your butt chopping. I don't see a woodpile anywhere yet.

Nice job! It'll be worth the expense.
