A firewood storage rack is a great way to properly store firewood near your home, eliminating the need for several trips back and forth to your wood shed. A properly designed storage rack should keep the wood off the ground and be sturdy, allowing you to safely stack the wood onto the rack. Tools and supply list below:
- Tools needed:
Miter Saw – I’d recommend a 12 inch miter saw.
Orbital Sander – Dewalt makes a nice one.
Kreg Jig – The K4 is what I have.
Drill – I use both Dewalt and Ryobi drills.
Tape Measure, Ruler, Pencil
- Optional:
Clamps – Clamps are helpful for any project. I love to use JackClamps.
Circular Saw – I use a Dewalt 20 Volt Cordless Saw (Ryobi also makes a less expensive saw). A circular saw can be used if you do not have a miter saw.
Kreg Jig Face Clamp – Very handy.
Kreg Jig Right Angle Clamp – A must!
Speed Square
- Supplies needed:
Wood Glue – I’d recommend Gorilla brand wood glue.
Box of 2 1/2 inch Kreg Screws
3 inch Wood Screws
1 1/4 inch Wood Screws
- Wood:
QTY: 5 – 2×4 x 8 foot long boards
QTY: 4 – 2×6 x 8 foot long boards
QTY: 14- 1×6 x 6 foot long cedar pickets
