Very nice. I'll be building this. I'll make it a bit deeper so I can get two rows of wood as there seems to be some wasted space at the front as i saw you stacking the wood in there. Thanks!
Did this today. Thank you for the plans. I modified it a bit towards the end to add a few things but all went well thank you. Wish it was a little bigger maybe double the dept and little wider.
Thank you very much for your generosity in sharing it, we have already built it and it has been beautiful, just one question, why do you want so many fridges or freezers?
Thanks! As for the fridges, we have an apartment complex and were in the process of replacing fridges -- and temporarily needed to store them :) Cheers!
Thank you for offering the plan download free! I just built this and love it! Though I didn’t install 4 angled roof beams... just 3 as the roof is so light weight. Really love this! also thank you for pushing on the kreg jig... helped give me an excuse to purchase lol
Being a wife and mum I think this firewood rack is very neat and practical. I will show this to my husband and son, for we need more firewood racks to stock firewood. Great! And I love father and son vids especially :-)
+Yurties TV Thanks so much for the kind words and I think your husband and son with have a lot of fun with the project. Happy New Year and thanks for taking the time to watch the video! :)
For others who might find this useful: based on the prints, the stackable space in the cavity is roughly 60"h x 68"w x 22"d, or about 52 cubic feet. A cord (4'x4'x8') is 128 cubic feet. So about 2/5 of a cord.
Great video! One minor discrepancy though. In the video you said "we'll create the four corner posts by connecting a 2x4 to a 2x6, which will form an L", but the plans only call for 2x4s in the posts. Going to try giving this a build this weekend; wish me luck!
Brian Sinclair Hey! Thanks a ton Brian. I am going to try and do projects like these more often where family or friends are included. I think it is really cool to get to do projects together with family / friends and that it is a great way to spend time and bond. Thanks for the feedback :)
Love the plans, Pete! Will need to make my version twice as long, and twice as deep. It gets cold in the Michigan Upper Penninsula! Really appreciate the whole family getting in on the action!
Very cool David! Have fun with your project and get that wood dried out for the winter! Thanks for watching, and yes, I want to try and get family and friends involved more. It's a lot of fun. Cheers!
There you are again! Too long since your last post! :) Nice project Pete! cheers, from Calgary AB. Ps.: the coffee table continues to get complements! Thanks and keep them coming!
Hi Fabricio! Cheers back at ya from Montana and I hope all is well up in Calgary. I'll do my best to get more posts up this year :) Thanks for the inspiration!
Awesome. Cheers from here. I need to Build one of these that needs to be about 18 inches off the ground, within the yard itself, to keep vermin out. How would you adapt this build? I thinking that it needs pressure treated wood, to be on blocks, and to create two "frames" the bottom frame and then another higher frame to begin stacking the wood on. Hoping that I can make it stand securely... and then I might change the roofing with the plastic roofing to keep off the elements. Advice dearly welcomed.
Hey Chad! I'd estimate 1/3 to 1/2 cord. This is a smaller unit and simply is located by the house for convenience. It get's reloaded with wood from the large pile when needed.
Richard Damon Hi Dick, thanks! Grandpa provided an audience and then drinks for happy hour after we were finished :) Next time I want to get him busy with the hammer and nails though! He'd be good at it. Do you like to build projects Dick?
+Laura Crimson Hi Laura! To be honest, I couldn't tell you how many logs or portions of a chord this would hold. We stack ours up pretty high and it lasts quite a while. If needed you could add more pickets to the side/back to help hold the wood in a bit better when stacking higher. -- If anyone out there who chops and sells logs for a living knows how many portions of a chord this might hold please chime in! Cheers
First I want to say thank you for the idea. I ended up building one for myself and I really like it. However, your plans are not completely accurate and you left out details in the video and the plans. For example at 4:00 in the video you can see the 2x6” stretcher is flush with the top of the support post, but in 4:06 it has been adjusted with no mention in the video or plans. This adjustment threw off a lot of the previous listed measurements and I had to use a circ saw to trim the front facing posts down a few inches. Overall a helpful guide but the roofing sections needs to be explained better for others who want to try. Thanks!
I ran into the same problem with the front 2x6 stretcher board. Also I'm not so sure the plans accurately reflect the length of the roof supports. Cut my supports to the 25+" and 22.6 angle for them to be way short. It all worked out in the end, Thanks for the plans.
@@DIYPETE Hey Pete, loved these plans and bought them a few weeks ago but you still need to update them for the 2x6 stretcher and roof supports. I just need to add sides, roof and floor and I'll be all set. Thanks again.
+Shaan Ansari Hi Shaan! You could certainly do shingles on the roof. If so, I'd throw a piece of osb or plywood on the top, some tar paper, and then shingles. Good luck!
+DIY PETE Also, would it be okay to space the cedar pickets on the back and side about 4 inches apart to let air flow through? I think this might help the logs dry faster

Great to hear!
3 generations. How fortunate you are.
It's really neat. Very thankful. Cheers!
Neat. I might have left an inch gap between the side and rear boards to promote airflow.
Thanks!
A+ video. Thank you so much! Lovely family too!
I built this yesterday and today! It was a lot of fun! And looks good! I just used pressure treated and will be staining it!
I downloaded the plans and went to work, thank you!

Good video. But I'm not sure how to properly may-sure.
HA! Yeah we say some words a bit different where I grew up with our accent :) Long A sound for a lot of words. Cheers!
Glad you can laugh at yourself mate

Awesome I love it I was just telling my wife I want to try to build a firewood rack for our firewood
Go for it!
Great project. I noticed you have quite a few beer fridges in your garage. Getting ready for the Super Bowl? Ha ha.
Brian Sinclair Hey Brian! Thanks man :) Yeah definitely getting ready for the Superbowl! haha - cheers - Pete
I meant to add it was nice you could include some of your family in the video.
Brian Sinclair Hey! Thanks a ton Brian. I am going to try and do projects like these more often where family or friends are included. I think it is really cool to get to do projects together with family / friends and that it is a great way to spend time and bond. Thanks for the feedback :)
Holy cow. Need another refrigerator?
Ha! They are taking up much needed shop space :) Left over from a building project and working on getting rid of them :)
Love the plans, Pete! Will need to make my version twice as long, and twice as deep. It gets cold in the Michigan Upper Penninsula! Really appreciate the whole family getting in on the action!

just pauses the fukking video
The best part is when your Grandfather came in. I love it. Inspiring.
claythorne01 Thanks for watching!
Looking to build a Fire Wood Storage Rack! We moved to a Rural Area & Love Fire Places... Saves on Heating bill as well..
Bill K Hi Bill! That's great! Have fun with the build :)
DIY PETE Thanks
+Bill K I've been researching into building sheds and discovered an awesome website at Adota blueprint pack (check it out on google).
roughly how much did this whole project cost you?
Why not purchase a cheap firewood rack directly from BIZARKDEAL?
Lisa McDonald uuuummmm no comment.
I think I would have put some boards on the bottom where the wood sits so that wood wouldn't be falling through.
Thanks! Yep, adding a few more would be helpful.
This one's for the boys! All 3 generations in one room
too small?
There you are again! Too long since your last post! :) Nice project Pete! cheers, from Calgary AB. Ps.: the coffee table continues to get complements! Thanks and keep them coming!
Hi Fabricio! Cheers back at ya from Montana and I hope all is well up in Calgary. I'll do my best to get more posts up this year :) Thanks for the inspiration!
that view out your front door is fantastic
+ma894 Thanks :)
This is so lovely. The rack is awesome as well. This is life. ❤️
Thanks!
Nice looking, thanks for ideas

You might look at doing 4x4 posts at each corner, and using concrete blocks as a foundation for the posts.
Nice project. How much wood does your rack hold? Half Cord? If you were going put this on the bare ground would you sink posts versus freestanding?
Hey Chad! I'd estimate 1/3 to 1/2 cord. This is a smaller unit and simply is located by the house for convenience. It get's reloaded with wood from the large pile when needed.
Hi, in the middle of building this. Trying to make roof support and my miter saw doesn't get specific enough for 22.62°.
Any recommendations?
Hi! You can be close to the recommended angle and it will be fine.
Never heard the term picket in this context...guess it's an half inch plank?
Yep, it is 5/8 inch thick -- they make thicker versions as well.
Love the video, but why do pocket screws when your going to cover them with pickets? I love how you pronounce measure!
Thanks for watching!
Good presentation Pete. Was grandpa any help?
Dick Damon
Richard Damon Hi Dick, thanks! Grandpa provided an audience and then drinks for happy hour after we were finished :) Next time I want to get him busy with the hammer and nails though! He'd be good at it. Do you like to build projects Dick?
How many cord does this hold? Maybe you said - I'll watch it again.
Hi Samson! A cord measures 4 feet by 4 feet by eight feet. So it would not hold a full cord. I'm not sure on the exact amount.
Great job. I'm glad to see some people still use grandpa instead on the age names for grandparents.
Thanks for watching!
Don't see plans for this one on your site ... there is a small one but not this bigger one.
Hi Chad, plans can be found here. Cheers: gumroad.com/l/firewoodrack
cool video. why do you have a dozen refrigerators in your garage?
+Colin Robertson Was building an apartment complex and needed a place to temporarily store them :)

You are all men of excellence!
Thanks for watching Daniel! Cheers!
Very nice and simple to make.
Thanks! It definitely is a quick and easy project that can be made in about 3 to 4 hours!
Great looking project! I may have to build two or three of these for the amount of wood I have!
+Sam Wallace Cool, sounds like you are from up north eh?! Cheers
+DIY PETE Being from the South, I'm in Michigan right now, so you could say it's North enough....for me. :)
Great project!
Thanks!
Wow that's a lot of fridges.
Haha, we were temporarily storing them for some rentals I own. Cheers!
That looks great!
+Peter Matthew Thanks Peter! I appreciate you taking the time to watch, and comment. Cheers!
guts its "roof" not "ruaff"
Always fun to hear different accents across the country :) Cheers!
Thanks for the video*****
Just made one!
Awesome!
dude ....awesome rack bro
+Supreme Services Lawn Care Thanks!
man that's a nice garage
Thanks!
