Pellet rack: before and after

So I've wanted to make a better place to store the pellets in the bone yard (north side of the house) for a couple years. This year, we even lost 3 bags of pellets due to water damage. You can see why.

This is the old way I stored pellets

The bone yard has seen it's better days

The first step was to clean out the weeds and junk and make space for the new rack.

Part of the goal was to use all the 'construction' lumber in my wood rack.  I've accumulated scrap wood from various sources like window sills and the old work bench before I replaced it.

Building the rack was a different experience than most of my wood working endeavors.  In this project, precision was too time-consuming and counter-productive.  I also used hammer and nail, which is very unusual in my projects.

After a few hours cutting and nailing, out popped a pellet rack.

A side benefit is that my garage wood rack is so clean (and probably more useful) without all the lumber.
