Finalizing the plans for my woodshed and was wondering what folks thought about using pressure treated wood. The structure will be 8x12 built on 6 concrete sonotubes. The floor will be supported by crushed stone with 2 X 8 floor joists that rest on the stone. On top of the joists will be...
No. Wood sheds cannot be too big. Any wood left over from one winter can be used the next. That said . . . the wood that goes into my woodshed has already been seasoned outside in a stack 1-3 years previously so all the woodshed does in my case is keep it from getting wet, snow covered and allows a little more seasoning time. I have something ...
Here's my new wood shed, though shed is a stretch. This is fresh cut wood ready to dry over the next 2 years. I will cover it in the fall and winter. Got feedback on the forum that in Iowa it will dry well in our hot windy summer days, uncovered. View attachment 260937

The wood I have for this season was both standing dead wood, and wood that was down from storms two years ago. Most is cherry and maple. I went to a buddies home. He has an enclosed wood shed. He opened the door and it was like a kiln. Most the sheds I see are open side with a roof.
I suspect you will get what you pay for in this case. for $165.00 you will get an el-cheapo rickety shed. I think sheds are over rated unless you live in a very wet area, or are interested in wood storage aesthetics. An uncovered wood pile in a breezy, sunny spot will dry out just fine.
