Log Store Finished

Almost a month ago I started to build a log store.  This weekend, I finished it.  First I set the pallets onto levelled pads made from broken up paving slabs, supporting it in 8 separate places.  With the pallets level, the frame was bolted on (after hacking some chunks out of an old tree root to make room).  A pre-constructed central frame adds to the overall rigidity and will divide the store into two components :






The idea is that one compartment stores logs for use this year, and the other, logs being prepared for next year.  The overall depth is just under 2 feet, so it is designed to take 2 stacks of 10" logs, once behind the other on each side.

With the framework completed, the kindling shelf was added at the top, 2 diagonal bracing boards screwed onto the back and a timber roof nailed in place using overlapping feather boards.  Here are 2 views of the finished store :




Now I just need to fill it.
