Looking to make a wood shed and a bike shed with corrugated roofs as the weather improves. been looking at woodsheds and This type of design seems fairly normal :-
Obviously that's a very expensive way to enclose a minimum of space with a depth of only 2' 5" when a smallish amount of extra materials could easily enclose double the space !
Is there something about woodsheds which makes it essential to have a very thin stack ? and why should that dictate the size of the storage ?
As Dpack says, the object is air flow and keep the rain off. The simplest is one stack depth on pallets to let air flow underneath with tarp or iron on top. If you want to build one more than 1 log length deep, ideally make sure you allow air flow between the stacks.
Our main log store for large quantities is a poly tunnel without ends, but we have to part season the timber in the log first, and there is still a tendency for it to develop mould. As we are talking 100+ cu m of wood here, we can't put it all neatly stacked on pallets though as there just isn't enough time.
