This summer I'm going to build something similar but to cover all my firewood. I've used a variety of different stacking styles over the years but having a tin roof is better than all of them. Right now I'm planning basically what you see there but 12 feet wide and 8 feet deep. 8 feet tall at the front. It'll easily hold 3 cords and fully stuffed should hold nearly 5.Actually I finally did the math, if it was flat roofed it'd hold 6 cords so 5 is probably about right.
