farm emo: ordered tarps to cover firewood...Amazon 2nd day prime somehow turned into 9th day delivery 6" of snow and ice atop firewood. Tarps atop that. 6 MORE inches on top of that. FFFFfffff I really need to build that firewood shed I've got planned. Not small, not cheap.

2/ you've seen the pix of the firewood pile, so no need to post again. 2 rows. Each row has four 8' x 16' platforms, with 4' aisles between. I.e. I need two sheds, each ~20' x 50' Roofing cost alone adds up. But that big, wants concrete sonotube piers below frost line, etc

3/ ...so I've got this generalized anxiety of "it really is the right solution / I need this" warring against "G_d DAMN it, that's too much money, I gotta stop pissing money away on infrastructure" Sigh. Guess I gotta work up a spreadsheet, find the hard numbers.

pole barn? steel roof 12/12 pitch with strapping across rough cut roof rafters?

something like that, yep 12/12 pitch is way to steep - 20' depth would mean 20' rise, giving a front edge height of 8' + 20' = 28', which would block lots of windows on house prob closer to 2/12 pitch (need to measure my run-in sheds)

I didnt know it was that close to the house...but you get lots of snow some years and you want it to come off.

My stacks are 6' tall atop a 4" base I want the lower roof edge to be 8' off ground, so there's a bit of headspace above stack I want higher roof edge to be ... not TOO high. 12' tops, maybe?
