Almost a woodshed

[Wolves-Lower]

An aesthetic triumph.

But - if I were using that shed, the lattice work wouldn't last one season, befopre a chunk busted right thru during stackin or moving wood.

Mine is lined with plywood for toughness. The open end plus the gap under the eaves in the rear offers sufficient air circulation. ( although your design is optimum.

True, the lattice work is nice, and will allow air flow, but I can't imagine it lasting at my house. I used rough cut Red Oak spaced about 3/4 inch's apart to allow air. Even with that "Stoutness", I have cracked a few tossing wood chunks into the Shed.

I will say..it is a work of art you did there!

Here is a pic of mine. It looks a tad rougher now that it has been through a major flood. But in essence it is built like a brick considering it moved 30 ft down the way, and was moved back with block and tackle.

Looks very nice. Now you have to get it filled!

If you don't mind my asking, about how much did you spend on the materials? I was thinking of doing something like this, but another poster pointed out that the $795 carports were less expensive (and less labor). That's the route we went. It took them about an hour and a half from start to finish.

This lattice is a bit tougher than the home depot variety, each slat is from 1/2" x 1 1/4" cedar. And I've nailed it in pretty thoroughly, then added cleats. I expect it will stand up well, but don't plan on throwing wood in there. Just stacking neatly. We'll see how it works. I got a load of palettes now, it should be full on one side in a week or two. Ken, cost of materials was just under $700, but I don't have easy access to a big box store. Materials are often 15-20% expensive here.

Considering the flood, your shed is still looking very respectable.

(Boy that water is close. How much elevation between the shed floor and the river?)

Not much. I would say 8 feet. However it is not a River it is a Lake.

The lattice you used is perfect then.
It is official...
My stamp of approval goes here__Wolves-Lower______

Thanks.

Wow, is that a swimming hole too? Outside of the disaster this year, that seems like a small slice of heaven.

Well, didn't get hurt much.

You did a great job building it and it withstood the test of time and floods. Looks like it has been there fore ever. Are those telephone poles for posts???
