Rolling Sheds Make Handy Wood Storage
Alan Shelbourn wishes he had built his “rolling sheds” years ago. Last fall he took them to his firewood and kindling sites, stacked them with wood, hauled them home and parked them right next to his house.
   The sheds are built on old camper frames. The Kingston, Wash., resident bought the large trailer (8 by 14-ft. frame on a double-axle) already stripped down for $400. He built the shed frame and floor from rough lumber and recycled boards he had on hand. He bought steel for the shed-style roof. He took apart and sold scrap from a smaller (8 by 10-ft. single-axle) camper to create a shed for kindling.  
  Initially, Shelbourn built them because he didn’t know where he wanted to locate a permanent woodshed. He thought he might use the rolling sheds for other purposes, but has decided to use them for just wood storage. The large trailer holds 2 to 3 cords of wood and he’ll fill it this summer and park it next to his house again in the fall.
  Shelbourn’s only regret is that he didn’t make the sheds sooner.
