Recycling wood to make sheds...

For the past few weeks, had been spending time to construct 'sheds' to store firewood for our wood stove...
I use recycled wood sourced from wholesalers who import huge stones from abroad...
Am not too much of a 'skilled' person when it comes to these things...
Anyway, the above picture shows one of my newest 'masterpieces'...
Notice the 'shelves'?...
The 'shelves' facilitate more air flow, thus allowing the wood to dry better...
They also allow easier access to the wood especially those that are piled at the lower levels...
Prior to this, I had just piled up the wood, without the 'shelves', as shown above...
'Not very good', said my missus...
I certainly need to re-do this one later on...

    You reminded me of my old days stacking up rubber woods back home, not like the ones with shelf but like your bottom pixz, all in one.

    I think you've done quite well with these sheds for your firewood. The shelves were a great idea.

      Indeed the sheds are a good idea... but it took me a considerable amount of time to figure it out...

    That's a lot of wood and the shelves are sure to make drying and sorting easier. Nice work!

      Thank you Diane... I find myself enjoying doing these things... and it is quite a bonus that we can get dry wood out of the sheds...

    To be honest i am not the DIY type but looking at your wooden shed
    , it seems that it is not complicated to build a shed at all.

    My hubby is the DIY type of person. He takes after his mother! Yes, that's right. My MIL is very good at mending things around the house!
    Your wooden shed is looking good! I used to cut up woods and stack them up at the side of the kitchen, when I was young, as we used kerosene oil for our stove. Your wood shed reminds me of that! :)
