I can’t stand the thought of paying for firewood. It’s like paying to water your yard even though rain falls from the sky for free. Anyway, I’ve noticed that people give away firewood for free on Craigslist throughout the Spring and Summer, and I could season it myself if I just had a place to put it. So I decided to build this firewood rack:

It holds about 1/3 of a cord of wood and will give our yard a little more privacy.

Here’s another look after I filled it:

It’s out by the unfinished garage, so I’m not too worried about termites being attracted to the wood and migrating to to the house. When winter comes around, we’ll move firewood by the wheelbarrow-full to the firewood box on our front porch.

Naturally, I didn’t get around to building it until Fall, so I had to pay for wood to fill it. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some free firewood once this runs out.
