| I am going to build a 7'x16' firewood shed to hold about 6 cords.
I am using rough sawn spruce lumber throughout. For the floor I am planning to use two 16' long 8"x8" laminated beams spaced 5' o.c..
I will cantilever the joist 8" on each side.
The floor will be made out of 1"x4". I am going to stack the firewood 7' in height.
Is my dimensioning OK?
Thanks |

| How much space will be lost to your walls ? I would go with wider flooring or 3/4" tongue and groove plywood. I think you will find the 1x4 breaking over time as wood falls on it. The framing should work well as described. |
