Built a firewood rack for 1/2 rick w/ Photo
I built a firewood rack just the right size for 1/2 rick of wood. It's 4 feet wide, 4 feet tall and 16 inches deep.
 It was made using three cinder blocks, six 2x4's, three cedar fence pickets and about $5 worth of screws and nails. Total cost was around $30 (including all wood, blocks & screws). The drew up the plan in Google Sketchup--which I'll gladly share with anyone if they want the file.  The rack's base and sides are based off a plan I saw for a firewood rack online--except I went with cinder blocks for feet instead. I then added an upper level--lined with cut cedar pickets--to hold small pieces of wood, kindling & wood chunks. It is sitting under the eaves of my house right now. I bought a tarp for $5 from harbor freight in case I need to cover it. I am new to firewood storage so this will be a learning experience. I'll keep the tarp off the wood on days it isn't raining to make sure it has adequate airflow to prevent mold, etc.. I plan on fabricating a sloped roof for it that I can just sit on top of it at a later date. I might move the rack and wood away from the house. Right now it isn't touching it though--closest a split is to the house is about 3/4 of an inch. Just thought I'd share in case anyone is interested in the design of it, or can offer me any suggestions. Thanks. |

Here are examples of three of the photos of firewood racks I saw online, that helped me come up with the design I chose:
(The base and sides)  (the kindling shelf -- I had a better example photo of this but can't seem to find it now)  (cinder block base--to help keep bugs off and preserve the rack)  |

Sketchup is a cool tool? Nice work on the rick rack, might want to get yo-self some tin for a top.

Can you elaborate on the tin for the top? Like what type of tin, where I can get it and perhaps an example photo of it being used. I'm really interested thanks! |
