Brick building for log store

[sharonb]

I am designing a log store that is 6m long and 1.8m deep and will have a pitched tiled roof. It needs to be brick or concrete block construction (back and sides). I need advice on safe construction especially as it will have a proper roof on it. How high can the back wall safely be (before having to consult a structural engineer) and what pitch should the roof line be. Basically anything anyone can tell me. Thanks v much.

if it is a log store then the construction is not only over the top, but unsuitable.
A log store MUST have air flow to ensure the timber not only seasons, but is allowed to be free from mould.
If unseasoned logs are stored in a brick built solid shed, their seasoning time is reduced from the usual year to up to three years.
But as i suspect its not your shed, and you are doing it for someone, it really doesn't matter!

its not a brick one but here mine i built a couple of years ago with some stuff i had nocking about.

thats perfect! air flow all round and on pallets to keep it off the floor1

F#ck me I've got wood shed envy thats things a beast where did you nab those timbers they're massive. Mine's no where near that size but gets me half way through the winter although my fire doesn't do the radiators.

Come on Pablo, we all have large expensive, shaped timber like that ' just nocking around' :;): :;):
