Building a wood stand for firewood out of PVC

2 inch PVC pipe and green PVC roofing cover
6ft x 3ft x 15in wide

This project was simple, cheap and effective.  It's been outside 5 years with no sign of wear, and supports the weight of a quarter cord of wood, out of contact with the ground, dry from above and allowing air circulation.

Close up of the pipe details.

The pictures petty much show I just used PVC pipe and 90 degree joint connectors, I didn't even need glue.  You can drill holes and use some washers and screws to connect the cover.  I bent the green roof cover over and attached it to the front, after the first year I took out those screws to make for easier access, once the PVC was bent into place.  The back I didn't care about as it's under the overhang from the house.

This has worked out to be a much better solution than covering the wood with tarps and cheaper in the long run, my tarps were tearing within a couple of years due to sun, wind and rain, and I had to buy chains and connectors, otherwise the tarp ends up in the neighbors yards.

However, I think I can make it cheaper still.  Next version I build I'm planning to use heat to bend the PVC pipes, so I won't have to buy the 90 degree pipe connectors, I expect I'll be able to almost cut the project cost in half by bending the pipes.
