Nothing quite says summer like spending time with friends and family while chilling by the side of a roaring campfire. Here are some of our top picks, ranging in design from miniature structured sheds to 6 cord storage capacities. Storage sheds are an efficient way of storing tools, materials, and yard equipment without the financial burden. Plus, this type of storage shed is highly convenient and can be placed anywhere you want, making them an excellent choice.
Most storage sheds are made from either strong wood, metal, or plastic (resin or vinyl). There are some important factors that you need to look out for when researching firewood storage shed plans to keep your wood safe and secure.
A firewood storage shed should ideally be located by your home for easy access, situated near to the door. Think about it: you will be far less likely to build a fire if you have to tramp through sludge and snow to the bottom of your land in order to retrieve the firewood. Overall, adding a firewood shed to your yard is not only convenient, but keeps the wood clean, dry, and ready for when you need to burn it. This super simple build with a pallet floor is one of the easiest firewood sheds to put together on this list.

The best part is that it has adequate protection without the hassle of being fully enclosed, allowing you easy access to the firewood whenever you want to build a fire.
You don’t need to be a DIY expert to build this mini shed which makes it highly convenient. Notably, the gaps in the wood allow a constant breeze to travel through, which keeps excess moisture away in turn.
