Great question JR.  I don’t remember why I used it on the first one, but its held up really well for 5 years so I’m using it again.  Plus some of this metal was sitting on the metal rack for a few years and had some rust and I didn’t feel like using 100 flap discs and spending a week sanding all this down completely.

Its pricy for bare metal vs just primer IMHO. I think it needs rust to really do its thing too.

Son is doing the frame on his sonoma now, just a solid layer of rust and using the rustolium spray converter.

Still need to degrease that thoroughly, and I found it works well if you agitate the rust by scraping off the scaly stuff and then wire-brushing the hazy stuff.

Sorry for hijacking...

I disagree JR.
reason being, that’s a huge amount of steel and roof for one course of firewood…

Just seems small to me. Double wood stacks would be perfect (JMHO)

Is there a need to cover the outside there TRN?

No need for outside cover as hot and (usually) dry it is.  I cut wood 24 inches in length.  Those racks are 10 ft long and about 5 ft or so of usable height for stacking.  I burn about one rack a year so this years wood will be ready next year and then I can put up more wood for the following year.

I see the sense behind it then. I was thinking 16in logs and rain getting to it. Good overhangs.

To give it some perspective those roof panels are 42 inches, edit 48 inches.

Well done!

That even looks smart!

Love how the paved path passes through the structure(s).
