Hello there 😉
I would like to build a firewood storage shelter myself. First, because I don’t like the ones available for purchase (and they are also too expensive), and second, because I want it to be deeper than the usual 50cm (20 inches) to be able to stack the wood in two layers. The shelter should be approximately 2.00 x 2.00 x 0.80 meters (6.5 x 6.5 x 2.6 feet).
Now, my questions:
- For safety, should the shelter be securely fixed to the ground (paved surface), or is this unnecessary due to the airflow? The shelter will not be located against a house wall or similar.
- How "solid" should the side walls and the back wall (the weather-exposed side) be closed? Air circulation is important, but should rain and moisture be completely kept out?
Thank you for your help and best regards
