WOOD STORAGE RACK

[fishing]

THE WIFE DOESNT WANT ME TO STORE WOOD IN THE HOUSE. SO I'M LOOKING TO BUILD A STORAGE RACK BY THE BACK DOOR. THAT WAY ONCE A WEEK I CAN STOCK THE RACK FROM THE WOOD PILE. I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT BUILDING ONE OUT OF SOME 1" PIPE I HAVE BUT THEN I THOUGHT I HAD BETTER ASK THE EXPERTS. SHOULD I BUILD A STORAGE BOX RATHER A RACK, THAT WAY IT WILL KEEP DRY. ANY INPUT FROM THE EXPERIENCED ONES.

FISHING ( MAYBE SOON)

I have a stout box on the porch. It holds about 4-7 days worth of wood, depending on the temps. (mild climate here) Works well because I can fill it quickly, just dump the wood into it. In the summer you can slap a lid on it and cover it with a nice print for an instant table.

For all of the Newbie's (like myself), what's a stout box?

I'm guess sturdy/decent-sized.

I had a partial sheet of 5/4 plywood left over that I used to make the box front and back, so it is very sturdy. This is probably overkill, 3/4" plywood would be fine, but I had the material on hand already. It's screwed & glued together and will take whatever I throw at it. The dimensions are 40"L x 28"W x 22"D. No magic to the size, it was just the maximum yield I could get out of the pieces of wood I had on hand.

OK... I get it. I thought "Stout" was the name of the box... you built a sturdy (or stout) box... duh!

I made 2 potting benches for my wife 18" deep 28" high and about 4 feet long. In the winter i Put one upside down on top of the other and use it to store wood. Hold about a 1/4 cord. Dual purpose. All 2x4 construction and the top is 2x4's space about 2" abort each. Works well. I'll snap a picture for ya when I get home.
