Build steps

Build the base from pressure-treated 2x4s on edge on a pad of gravel or pavers, with the front and back boards in joined lengths. Check square by measuring both diagonals.
Screw the floor slats across the base 1 in apart, so air gets under the pile.
Set the 10 4x4 posts on the base and screw them to it with two 4 in screws each way. Stand them plumb and brace them until the beams are on.
Screw the two beam boards over each row of post tops on edge, with the joints staggered over different posts.
Cut the 9 rafters with plumb cuts at 5.7° on both ends and set them on the beams, 24 in on center.
Screw on the roof deck and then the 8 metal panels, lapping one rib.
Screw the slats across the back and both sides, 1 in apart, flat against the posts.
Face the open front away from the prevailing wind and stack the wood bark side up, with space at the back.

Before you start

Holds 2 cords at 262 cu ft inside. A cord is 128 cu ft, 4 x 4 x 8 ft stacked; a face cord is a third of that.
Open slats on the back and sides, and a gap under the pile, dry the wood faster than a closed shed.
Keep the pile at least 20 ft from the house, and stack the wood off the ground.
The roof is low-slope: seal the lap joints with butyl tape.
Check local rules before you build. A shed this size needs a permit in many places.
