You either like open fires or you do not. Me, I am definitely a fan of a roaring fire on a cold day. Even more so when I am not in charge of laying the wood and trying to get the fire started. I like to pull up a chair close to a roaring wood fire, especially on a bitter winters day. I can just sit there with both my hands stretched out to feel the warmth of the fire on them.

We have an open fire in our house, but we do not use it all the time, nor do we depend on burning firewood as our main source of heat. But for supplemental heat, the open fire is ideal. Because we do not use the fire regularly, means we need somewhere to store the firewood. Leaving it stacked up in the backyard with a loose cover over it is not an ideal method of storage. Wood tends to rot if it is allowed to stay wet for long periods of time. And, if it gets wet, you need to try and dry it before you can burn it, so it makes sense to store the firewood in a dry location. I had a look round for some firewood storage shed plans , because I had seen photographs of some in a brochure some time ago, and I thought it would be the ideal solution for us. As there are a few of us in the locality where I live who have wood fires, I was able to borrow a set of plans for firewood storage. I was really lucky there. All I needed to do next was to price up the cost of the lumber I would need. If you are like me, I try and get the best deal I can for most things I buy, so I shopped around to get the best price I could, and I saved myself ten percent by doing this. It does take time doing this though, so you need to be patient. My firewood storage shed had three walls and one completely open side so I could easily get at the wood. The roof kept it dry, and so did the drop down tarpaulin on the open side. I was glad I had the storage shed plans. As with any woodworking project, an easy to understand set of plans makes all the difference in achieving your goal. Now that the firewood is all properly stored, I no longer need to be concerned about it getting wet, and the frustration it caused me in having to dry it before I could use it, is now history.
