This step by step diy project is about 1 Cord 3×10 Firewood Shed Plans. Storing 1 cord of wood can be done in many ways. Today I share a plan for a firewood shed that has a base of 3 ft x 10 ft. 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 3×10 wood shed
Assembling-the-floor-frame—3×10-wood-shed
The first step of the project is to build the floor frame for the wood shed. 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. Secure the floor frame to the skids with rafter ties and 1 1/2″ structural screws. Use 2 ties for each skid.
Fitting-the-floor-boards
Fit the 2×4 boards to the floor frame. Set 1 1/8″ 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.
Assembling-the-posts
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-corner-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.
Fit-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 10 1/2″ overhangs on both sides. Drill pilot holes and insert 3 1/2″ screws to lock beam to the side posts. You can also use T strong ties to reinforce the joints.
Side-wall-slats
Attach the 1×6 boards to sides of the firewood shed. Place 3″ spacers between the boards to create even gaps. Drill pilot holes at both ends of the boards and insert 1 5/8″ screws to secure them to the posts.
Fitting-the-back-slats—shed
Attach the 1×6 boards to the back of the shed. Use the 3″ spacers between the slats, to create even gaps. Drill pilot holes and insert 1 5/8″ screws to lock the slats into place tightly.
