Tiered Firewood Storage Shed Plans

Four-compartment storage for a full season of firewood

This tiered cedar firewood storage shed separates logs across four open compartments, with two raised shelves and a corrugated metal mono-pitch roof

The charcoal-stained frame contrasts with warm cedar cladding, while the roof slopes from front to back to carry water away from the stored firewood

Check the space before you build

The finished shed is 213 cm wide and 61 cm deep at floor level, with an approximate maximum height of 229 cm

The roof measures 237 × 107 cm including the overhang, so use the roof footprint rather than the floor footprint when checking the available space

The four compartments provide roughly half a cord of split-firewood storage

How the shed is built

The design uses six 4×4 cedar posts, screwed lap construction, slatted shelves, cedar wall cladding and a corrugated galvanized metal roof

Every post should be secured with a galvanized post anchor suitable for the surface. On soil, anchors should be set in concrete below the local frost line. On a slab or patio, they should be bolted to the surface

Is this suitable for a beginner?

The plan is rated for a confident beginner and is designed as a two-day build, with the main structure on the first day and the roof on the second

The main work uses square cuts and screwed joints. You will need a circular or miter saw, drill, impact driver, speed square, clamps and tin snips for the roof panels

Questions before you start

Is this a physical shed?
These are digital building plans. Timber, roofing, hardware, tools and firewood are purchased separately

Can it stand directly on soil?
No. Keep cedar end grain off bare soil and anchor every post using a method appropriate for your surface and local conditions

Which way does the roof slope?
The mono-pitch roof slopes from front to back
