List of building materials to build a woodshed

At the design stage, it is important to decide on the list of building materials and their sizes. Material, from which you can build a good woodshed:

• Boards, beams and logs (needed for the foundation).
• Suitable for foundation and frame profile pipe, for wall cladding - metal mesh or polycarbonate sheets, they use it for the roof corrugated sheet, ondulin and other similar materials.

The amount of building materials depends on the size of the building and, accordingly, on the volume of firewood that needs to be stored.

How to choose a woodshed project

To select the most suitable project, You need to pay attention to the following points:

• 

  Amount of fuel raw material. A large amount of firewood requires a large structure, such as a woodshed gazebo.
• Free space on the site. If it is possible to place a separate building in the form of a barn or a gazebo, then it is better to give preference to it.

If there is not much space on the site, then a canopy or extension to the house is built.

• Possibility of purchasing materials. If you don't want to spend a lot of money on making a woodshed, it's better to opt for the simplest design in the form of a canopy or extension. There is an option to build a separate woodshed, but from a minimum amount of materials.
