Have a separate space for storing wood rather than keeping them in any corner of your house. You also cannot leave it bare in the garden as it will start perishing due to exposure to climatic changes. A storage shed installed in the backyard could give you adequate storage space. Building a shed from scratch can be a tedious process. Purchasing a prefab storage shed in Texas would be a feasible solution. A shed can be used for several purposes: tool storage, wood storage, home office, studio, space to relax, horse shelters and more.
Insulation takes care of wood health
The interior of wood storage sheds is well insulated and has all measures to keep wood, firewood, wooden furniture, or wood carving items free from mold and bacteria. If wood is exposed to dampness, there are chances that it will swell or shrink. You can also prevent the items from chemical changes. SturdiShed experts add ventilation and a layer of efficient insulation on the walls and floors.
Storing wood the right way
Be careful about wood storage so that you do not end up storing unusable lumber or in the wrong way. For instance, you must implement the right storing techniques and keep the furniture elevated from the ground to improve its shelf-life. So, here are a couple of tips to keep in mind:
Keep only dry wood inside the wood storage shed
If you are air-drying wood, please keep away from those that are already dried and seasoned ones. Humidity and moisture from the drying wood can pass into the air and impact the shed’s humidity levels. It is ideal for keeping semi-dry or unseasoned wood outdoors so that the drying time is not prolonged.
Store the vertical or horizontal way
The amount of wood you are storing should be limited to the extent they can breathe. Putting excess weight on the wood can cause it to bend. Storing wood vertically saves space, but you can only do that if the wood is 100% dry. Or else, keep it horizontal unless the moisture content dries up. Support the wood using brackets every 16 to 18 inches when you store horizontally to prevent bowing.
Proper space utilization
There should be maximum space utilization inside wood storage sheds. After using the floor space for storing wood, you can use the walls for storing other stuff by attaching adjustable shelves, storage boxes, wooden crates, plastic tubs, hangers, and more. Store items securely and protect items from harsh weather conditions.
Choose a size
Many people consider larger-sized wood storage sheds an eyesore. Choose the size of the structure based on your preference and budget. A storage shed in Texas increases the value of your property.
