It’s coming up to that time of year again (depending on the area where you live), where the temperature drops and it starts to snow and get extremely cold.

So one of the best things to do before this weather hits, is to build a shed to store your firewood which will keep your firewood dry and ready to burn. There are different shed designs to choose from when it comes to storing firewood, you can check out these designs at the following blog post, firewood storage shed designs.

Deciding on which firewood shed plans to use to build your shed, will be determined depending on whether your firewood is damp prior to storage or your really need to protect your wood from the elements, or you need a shed that can dry the wood while it’s in storage. Depending on what your requirements are for your firewood shed, will determine the plans and design you choose.

Just a few tips on building a firewood shed:

1. Location of the firewood shed is important. It’s best to build it close to the back door of your home so it’s easy to get to. There would be nothing worse than having to walk through the cold icy snow to get your wood right at the back of your yard.

2. A firewood shed should have a raised floor to prevent the wood from getting damp.

3. A firewood shed roof needs to be slanted so the snow and rain runs off the roof away from the wood. Also it’s best if the ground the shed is built on also slants away from the wood, so the water doesn’t collect by the wood.

4. Airflow is important in a shed used to store firewood. this is so the wood dries properly. this is why most firewood sheds are built with 3 sides. One side is open to create airflow. Just make sure this open side faces away from where most of the wind occurs, to protect the wood from the elements.

When the cold strikes, you will be so glad you built that firewood shed, as you will be all nice and warm sitting by your warm fire listening to the cold wind outside.

Don’t delay in building your shed, as the cold weather is fast approaching. Check out My Shed Plans Elite for some great plans.
