1 Cord 2×12 Firewood Shed Plans

This step by step diy project is about 1 Cord 2×12 Firewood Shed Plans. If you need a narrow shed that can store up to 1 cord of firewood, this is the right project for you. Therefore, this shed has a sturdy structure and walls on three sides. The front is open so you can have an easy access to the wood. This plan is optimized to keep the costs down. See the rest of my firewood shed free plans HERE. Take a look over the rest of my woodworking plans, if you want to get more building inspiration. Premium Plans for this project available in the Shop.

When buying the lumber, you should select the planks with great care, making sure they are straight and without any visible flaws (cracks, knots, twists, decay). Investing in cedar or other weather resistant lumber is a good idea, as it will pay off on the long run. Use a spirit level to plumb and align the components, before inserting the galvanized screws, otherwise the project won’t have a symmetrical look. If you have all the materials and tools required for the project, you could get the job done in about a day.

How to build a 2×12 wood shed

Assembling-the-floor-frame—2×12-wood-shed

The first step of the project is to build the floor frame. Cut the joists from 2×6 lumber, as shown in the diagram. Drill pilot holes through the rim joists and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the perpendicular components. Align the edges flush and make sure the corners are square. Place the joists every 16″ on center.

Fitting-the-skids

Select the location for the wood storage shed. Level the ground and remove the vegetation layer. Using 4×4 skids under the floor frame will help protect the components from the elements. Align the skids, and use 2 rafter ties for each skid to lock them to the frame. Insert 1 1/2″ structural screws to lock the rafter ties into place tightly.

Fitting-the-floor-boards

Fit the 2×4 boards to the floor frame. Set 1 5/8″ spacers between the boards to create even gaps. Drill pilot holes through the boards and insert 2 1/2″ screws to secure them into place tightly.

Corner-posts-for-the-shed

Use 2×4 lumber for the posts. Cut the components at the right dimensions, as shown in the diagram. Add glue to the joints and align the edges flush. Drill pilot holes and insert 2 1/2″ screws, every 10″ to create the corner posts.

Fitting-the-posts

Fit the posts to the floor of the shed. Align the edges flush and plumb the posts with a spirit level. Drill pilot holes through the posts and insert 3″ lag screws to lock them to the frame. Use at least 2 screws for each joint.

Fitting-the-support-beams

Attach the 2×6 support beams to the front and back of the wood shed. Center the beams into place, so you have 4 1/2″ overhangs on both sides. Drill pilot holes through the beams and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the side posts. Next, we need to install T strong ties to reinforce the joints. Lock the ties to the beams and posts with 1 1/2″ structural screws.

Side wall slats

Use 1×6 boards for the side wall panels. Cut the slats at 24″ and then attach them to the vertical posts with 1 5/8″ screws, after drilling pilot holes. Start from the floor up to the top. Fit 3″ spacers at both ends of the slats, to create even gaps.

Firewood-back-slats

Attach the 1×6 boards to the back of the shed, as well, using the same techniques described above. Fit the spacers to create even gaps, drill pilot holes and insert 1 5/8″ screws to lock them to the posts.
