Wood/log Store
#1
Here is my next project - a wood/log store.
Mostly made from timber but the bracing at the back is steel Smiley-dancenana

   
I should have mentioned it will be 2m long x 2m high x 1m deep barring any accidents.

Here is a pdf.
If you download it give it a few seconds then click the button "Click to activate" it should allow you to orient the sketch (hopefully)

What CAD program did you use to draw that? SketchUp?

A friend has two smaller ones that he puts on the veranda in the spring and fall. Nice clean way to stack wood.
On your design, if you move the side slats to the inside of the vertical supports the fasteners won't be holding all the load.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

Ed,
Alibre, it was called Alibre Design Personal Edition, now it is called Geomagic Cubify Design. What a bluddy stupid name.
Although the web site is still Alibre??

That's true, it just don't look so nice Big Grin

My wood working skills are limited to the "Two S's" Saw and Screw ........the sketch is just the starting point, the chances of it ending up anything like the sketch are somewhat remote Rotfl

Finished both sides and given it a coat of wood preservative.
And just to note the sides are upside down.
