Wood Sheds lets see them

[seth30]

No shortage of rats on Whidbey Island.  My dogs kill them weekly around the wood pile, and our neighbor on the other side has nothing but one big black berry bush that doesnt help with the problem either. I have learned to deal with it everytime I collect wood I find there areas they were nesting in.

If I build one like that, do you think the water runoff would cause issues for my neighbor on the other side of the fence?

Just run a gutter across the back and down spout back to into your yard or into a rain water barrel for garden use..
You can get free gutter off craigslist, or ask one of the gutter anti clogging places for some they have removed.

I have one that is 6ftx6ftx7ft tall (2 cords) and am build another kinda like the one pictured that is 16ftx6ftx6ft (actually 7ft front to 6ft rear) so 4.5 cords or more. I use the clear plastic panels for the roof and have had no problems.
All the wood i get from eastern wa i season over there so when i bring it home it is ready to burn so just tarped it does not mold, if i cut wood on the wetside and tarp just the top it will mold in the middle or along the bottom rows, if i put it under the cover it wont mold.
Someone metioned rats, only way to stop them is to get rid of them, if you have rats around and a wood pile you just made them a nice safe home (for awhile atleast)...

We can get some really heavy wind on Whidbey.  Will those plastic panels hold up or should I go with something more heavy duty?

Installed properly they should, but if you are concerned at all then use metal roofing, the galvanized sheets are about the same price as the plastic ones. At my place east i use metal due to snow, i only use the clear ones over here so the sun shines through and helps drying...
