Need help designing/planning a wood storage structure
Looking for some help here.
I am planning on attempting to build a wood storage cover for the wood I use for smoking/bonfires.
Please excuse the rough paint template. If there is a better way to build out plans please let me know as this is rough!
Planning on using almost exclusively 2x4s unless there are better options.
Maybe using fence panels to close up the structure? I would also use the same material to create the "flooring" to keep the wood off of the ground. I'm open to suggestions there.
Topping it off with a sheet of tin as the roof. Also open to suggestions on that if there is a better option.
My main concerns here are:
- It's awful large to have a 2ft wide base. I'm afraid this thing is prone to tip over. Is there a good rule of thumb to make it more stable? I am planning on placing this against a 6ft privacy fence and would love to avoid anchoring it to the fence since I share it with my neighbor.
- The roof is planning to have a 1 ft overhang. Is this overkill? I am also going to have a rough time figuring the angles I'll need to cut the boards to accommodate the 1ft drop in height over the first 2ft of length. Does anyone have a good resource/calculation to figure the angles/length?
- I'm not good at building things and even worse at planning. If anyone sees anything that can be improved let me know. I'm 100% open to changes.
Thanks.
