I would put the end boards on the inside of the posts so that when wood falls or rests against it, it's pushed into the posts instead of pulling on the nails/screws. I would also make a zig-zag pattern with those boards so they add a bit of stability for no extra cost.
Hey! Thanks for posting this. A massive Derecho storm took out a tree on my property which squashed the old wood shed which was built by the old owner... probably built 30 years ago, so it was looking worse for wear anyway! I've been brainstorming since may what to do, and this shed is an exact image of what I was imagining! I have some cedar posts kicking around from a log tie staircase to the water I built. I also cut down a big ole cedar to get enough for the job. Now I have all my posts and this is perfect for helping me estimate my lumber needs! THANKS!
I am presently in the process of planning mine out and your video was perfect timing. What I have verified through you is that I am not over doing it and the need for good ventilation so the wood drys properly. Something to consider too is the wood you block and split this year will be next years firewood not this coming winter. So what you need is this years firewood and next years firewood all under shelter, at least that’s what I figured out. Where I live it gets cold too but I have no woods to break the wind during poor to bad weather, it can really howl here and gust to 50mph at times through the rolling hills. Keeping lots of open on the back, sides and front is perfect but I just worry about wind blown rain and snow. Some kind of louver over lapping siding sort of thing maybe. Thank you for this video. :)
@@GettingItDoneRepairs I got my posts last week from a not so local rail road salvage yard up by Billings but worth the trip, 10 and 12 foot long ties in decent shape. What I paid for them is about what I would have paid for treated posts at the lumber yard but the difference is the rail road ties will last considerably longer. The weather up here in Montana is trying to decide if it is still winter with snow showers and freezing rain every other day and cold, typical for this time of year. As soon as it clears up a bit I will auger out some holes and set the posts. One of my neighbors has a saw mill and the timing for what I need and him getting his mill up and running will be just right. The main mission now is to move the wood I have and clear out the area. Fortunately I have a skid steer to help with the heavy lifting and move things around. This will be the Fort Knox of wood sheds when done. Thanks for checking up. :)
watched this yesterday on the tv.. forgot to lay a comment. hope you get ton's looking at the plans on this.. having seen it in person? it's perfect. looks neat and wow does it ever hold ALOT of wood. suits the builds on your property perfectly. doesn't take from the beautiful forests around you. great share.
This is great, we were just discussing building a wood shed this summer! We've been using tarps. Looks Awesome, outstanding job! Go with two tanks for rain catchment, you would be surprised how much water you can catch!
128 cubic feet in a cord. 25x10x6=1500. 1500/128= 11.7 cords. If you stacked it all the way to the roof front to back, you could get around 13.5 cords. Not too shabby 👍🏼
Ha my woodshed is almost identical! I think you inspired my build last fall! It’s 10x20 and it’s my first winter with it, it’s so worth it! I can stack so much wood, it’s only half full too. Will spend this spring/summer cutting wood to fill it. I built shelves on the back to store extra stuff like lumber.
Hi thats cool to hear! Yes having a large wood shelter makes a huge difference. You need that space to allow a long drying period. Good luck with filling it, I will have to go see a video in it 🙂
Roland, I know this video is a little older, but was wondering where you have the plans, I couldn't find them on your site. Thanks and love the video! Ed C
What spacing did you use on the rafters. I was going to use 16 on center. My she is 10x10 and I’m using 2x6 x16 feet. I’m going to have a 3 foot over hang on the side and the front so can store axes and shovels on one side and the other overhang will be in front
Ah, watched your other video when you were bringing back logs to the house and saw the concrete blocks you mentioned. I'm in the UK so not sure we have those but now I know what you used. Just the link to the blueprint. Thanks.
If your posts aren't in the ground aren't you afraid of a really strong wind flipping it? My buddy wants to build a wood bunker but he's worried about the wind ripping it apart. He wants to build it the same way with the metal roof and wood slats on the sides
the length of the woodshed is 25 feet. Here is a link to the plans. ruclips.net/channel/UC_C2O89kMQuDStUEoM6Fz1wcommunity?lb=UgyL1nACEQDVdqL2uV94AaABCQ

Hey there, can’t find the plans for this… have you posted them? Thanks so much! Great job and great video!
Simple and practical. Good job 👍
@@wtf9299-x5n exactly and did cost much to build 😊
Great video sir! LOL I called you sir! This is a good way to store wood in a woodshed! How to build a woodshed! Great video idea!
Thanks Ma'am
I’ve always admired this wood shelter. Love the idea of gathering that rain water Roland.
Thank Jan! It would be great for animals with some tweaks of course.
I remember watching the video when you made that
That’s a really good wood shed
Yes we are really enjoying being able to keep our firewood super dry.
Nice looking structure. I rely heavily on lean to designs for our buildings. They are easy to build and very sturdy!! - Rick
Yes and practical for catching more rain water
This is the year we want to build one. This is EXCATLY the size and style I wanted to do. On blocks as well! THANK YOU !
We have woodshed envy. This summer's project here at the tiny house homestead.
Thats great!
Thanks for the video
Our pleasure!
Keep showing stuff like this and I’ll definitely keep watching/learning. 👍
Thanks for watching!

Great video, we appreciate all the information and the concise, straightforward way you pass it on. Keep toasty, winter is coming.
I appreciate that! Take care

Nice wood shelter... Lot of wood... Catching water excellent idea as well... Thanks...
Thank you Boondock Charlie! I'm enjoying this woodshed.
Good job, Roland. You have plenty of air flow to let the wood dry out.
Thanks Rick! I'm really enjoying having shelter for my firewood now.
Excellent! Thank you for a great explanation! 👍
Thanks for watching 😀
Great review Roland. Take care and have a blessed week.
Thanks Tony, have a great week as well. 😀
Nice to build the woodshed and it looks awesome 😊👍
Thank you, we really like it.
Nicely done! You obviously put a lot of thought into this wood shed, which will pay off very nicely for you.
Thank you, it's working out great!
This is great, we were just discussing building a wood shed this summer! We've been using tarps. Looks Awesome, outstanding job! Go with two tanks for rain catchment, you would be surprised how much water you can catch!
Thanks and I think I will go with 2 water tanks.
That's a really great woodshed. Nicely stocked, it looks great. ❤👍
Thank you Arielle
Great Video thanks for the diagram as well
You're welcome!

Very nice wood shelter, thanks for sharing 👍😁
Thank you Mary.
Find many critters building homes in there ? I always stack on pallets as well, have found some pretty nasty little burrows.
I haven't seen a critter yet but I imagine it will happen eventually
That looks really nice 👍
Thanks!
Cool. That was interesting.
Glad you thought so!

The plans are on the community tab of this channel
Was there a diagram that I missed somewhere? Building a shed now and would love to see the sizes compared to what I have planned!
Hi there, yes if you go to my main channel page, there is a tab called "community". There you will find a diagram. Thanks for watching!
Hey there. I’m looking for the plans your sharing but can’t seem to find them. Where am I missing these?
That's a lot of wood!! Do you have to let it dry out at all before being able to use it? Take care up North there!!
Yes and that's the main reason I built this woodshed. It takes 1 to 2 years to dry the wood out properly.
What spacing did you use on the rafters. I was going to use 16 on center. My she is 10x10 and I’m using 2x6 x16 feet. I’m going to have a 3 foot over hang on the side and the front so can store axes and shovels on one side and the other overhang will be in front
2' oc would be fine
Loved this, thank you. Couldn't find your blueprint or diagram? How did you fix your posts to your concrete blocks. Many thanks.
Ah, watched your other video when you were bringing back logs to the house and saw the concrete blocks you mentioned. I'm in the UK so not sure we have those but now I know what you used. Just the link to the blueprint. Thanks.
The blueprint is on my community tab of my channel.
@@GettingItDoneRepairs Thank you. I found the Community page.
If your posts aren't in the ground aren't you afraid of a really strong wind flipping it? My buddy wants to build a wood bunker but he's worried about the wind ripping it apart. He wants to build it the same way with the metal roof and wood slats on the sides
I'm in the woods, it is well protected. Hope it never happens
A shed with antlers lol ASD
How do I find the "blueprint" for this lean to?
Hi Bob, go the my RUclips channel and look under the banner for the "community tab" Click on it.
hi, popped in to see the plans, but cannot find them or link. please give me a clue ...
Hi RONNY, go to my RUclips channel. You will see a tab called "Community" click that and scroll way down. The plans are there! 😊
got 'er done, thanks 🙂
I tried to find your building plans
Please help
They are on the community tab on my main channel page. Click on channel name
What is there length of this? Where can I find the plans at?
the length of the woodshed is 25 feet. Here is a link to the plans. ruclips.net/channel/UC_C2O89kMQuDStUEoM6Fz1wcommunity?lb=UgyL1nACEQDVdqL2uV94AaABCQ
Where's the plans?
The plan are under the community tab on my channel.
