Firewood stockpiles can be seen around the houses as people just tend to stock the dry firewood for later use in the indoor fireplaces and also in outdoor fire-pits! Most of people prefer the metal or wood made sheds for storage of dry firewood which prevents the wood from rainwater and also from rotting! Install lasting wooden sheds now using retired shipping skids, the pallets! Why pallets are ideal candidate for building firewood sheds you can just see it in this DIY pallet firewood shed project, done to provide weather protection to firewood!

This shed is a perfect way to keep your wood dry longer and entire pallet project is also budget-friendly, so there is nothing to stop you to get this!
Here it has been decided to keep the firewood off the ground level so it will be dry always for instant burning! Being off the ground also reduces the danger of insect attacks, sometime the real enemy of wood!
This here the very first or before before preview of pallets and firewood, here firewood is all open to outdoor weathers, so to prevent the early rotting of firewood a shed was a crucial demand!
Pallet skids have been decided here as beefy units for entire shed construction just like the bricks for a building! You can plan a soapy wash or and also some primary operations like sanding if your pallets are looking ugly due to gunk layers and also due to lot of splinters!
Here first step is to setup a lasting wooden floor first which will keep the firewood off the ground, so pallet have been put together in side to side arrangements, for leveling of floor, concrete tile supports have been fixed under! Here whole intention is to add more space for storage of firewood and a secure building to prevent rainwater damages to wood!
Here already stored firewood is as it is while additional walls have been built around it as you can see! The inside metal dividers will help you to store 2 different types of firewood at the same time in this firewood shed!
Just put pallets vertically around the firewood and just add 2nd layer of pallets in the same way to raise the walls more to decided height!
Here challenging part wood be to assemble the corners of pallet-made shed walls together, but you can easily manage it by using the recommended and latest hardware!
Adding 2nd layer of pallets will demand you to keep patience as it may be a little tough by with a little outside help, you can make it done quickly and precisely!
Add the pallet boards one by one and fasten them tight with hardware after getting fixed to targeted position, the line of junction of two pallet layers should be strengthened more with extra wood and hardware otherwise it may result into an injurious collapsing of entire shed!
Fasten the pallets together and also with bottom layer, better assemblage and fittings will make your get with better results for sure!
Here installation of 2nd pallet layer has been started from one corner as you can see and you will have to reach the other corner by going in the same way!
Installation of roof panels would be next after you just finish the shed wall constructions, install the frame first to support the roof and then you can make the final roof settled down easily! Modify extra pallet boards to install the roof panels, here it has also been done the same!
Finish up the roof and use extra wooden slats to make the roof sides look solid, it would be a total trimming of roof you are to do here! Here roof of this firewood shed is too beefy that can hold a weight of mature person, see our fan and great crafter “Adam Burton owner of Stevensville Pallet Project” standing on it!
