The photo above is the woodshed I made a few years back. I built it using 6x6 timbers, and I designed it where each side can hold two cords of wood or four cords in total. It is also accessible from all sides, which helps with rotation of old and newer wood. It holds 4 rows deep of 18 inch firewood and is almost 7 feet high in the front, and about 5 feet high in the back. The roof and large overhangs help keep the wood nice and dry from the rain and snow, and on days like today when the wind blows through the stacks, it helps them dry out even more. I am curious to see how much wood we will consume for the rest of the heating season using the Tarm Solo 40.
