WATCH!!! Carport Installation Over My Firewood Processor

[@BW35bucket]

Joe that’s an incredible upgrade to your wood yard. Being outside in the elements all day gets old. Really happy for you keep up the great content. That company did a great job.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks buddy.

[@russellhazzard6936]

It is the middle of February and it is not snowing, and that is a GOOD DAY!!

[@ohiowoodburner]

haha I am in agreement Russ!

[@jimconnor8274]

Great upgrade! A heated operator's room for winter months and AC for summertime.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I like the way you think JC!

[@waynetharp]

Life just got a lot better for OWB! Glad it all worked out! You could still add a piece or two of wall metal if you find that more shade is needed in a certain spot during the day/season. Enjoy and be extra careful with not letting logs roll off the infeed as they can smush a wall post now!👍

I had thought of a banner or something like a blind. Thanks Wayne

A mild, damp winter means the wood will take longer to dry. More money to be made with a canopy! Have a good weekend Joe!

thanks Anthony. You ready to take a road trip??

[@ronbrooks6681]

Yes Joe, they are the Best K&K. They did that Fast and knew what they were doing. It's great to have a Reliable Company like that. My thoughts and Prayers go out to Mark for his Wife. Now you are out of the Elements to do your Would my Friend. You did your Homework Well on that. Tomorrow is a Big Day for me, 1hour of some Wood and no more. Then rest up and in another 3 or 4days another 1hour. Can't lift anything over 40pounds. Stay Safe out there Sir. Remember 1 of these Days I am coming to See you Gloves and all. Till your Next Great Video, Ron From the Woodyard in Duanesburg NY. PS- I GET TO CUT SOME WOOD UP WITH YOUR DOLMAR SAW.

Nice addition Joe and congratulations on the new building

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks Officer!

[@iceroad416]

I like it!!! Only thing i would do is anchor it down with spiral achors at corners so to make it wind resistant

[@ohiowoodburner]

There are some augers that they could get to screw into the ground. It was pretty hard everywhere else

[@Beachwriter]

Congratulations on the upgrade of your business, Joe. Love the opening shot.

[@ohiowoodburner]

haha. Seems I can't avoid standing water around here

[@TomCrockett-ip5rf]

This is great! May I suggest adding gutters on each side to direct water away from your work area. Tied into a French drain to avoid pooling of water .

[@ohiowoodburner]

Gutters maybe one day but I am out of money for projects right now

[@jakebredthauer5100]

Gutters would help keep water from blowing inside.

[@bwillan]

That carport over the Japa 405 turned out great. You'll quickly become the envy of all the firewood processor operators on youtube. Next you have to get a giant ceiling fan for those hot humid summer days.

[@ohiowoodburner]

YEs to the fan!!!

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Awesome Joe! One good part about the extra height is better airflow and you arent getting baked when the metal gets hot.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I agree. I purposely had the roof color a lighter shade so it wouldn't radiate as much heat. Only one way to find out come August

Thanks RG. That was my biggest hurdle to going forward I didn't trust my measurements

[@robertwazniak9495]

Joe… if you’re going to continue to cover your engine, you could cut one of those IBC bladders into an ell shape to fit over the engine. That way it is a quick solution with maybe a bungee cord to hold it down. I think you’ve gotten the major efficiencies done, now you have to work on incremental minor improvements. Great job by all involved.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I have thought of doing that in the past Bob but I've just never gotten around to doing it LOL

[@JimVincitore]

Great video! Very cool! THANK YOU! Keep the vids coming! Use tube sand bags on the bottom beam. Chain it to the processor in big wind storms.

well said Bobby B!

[@HabitualButtonPusher]

One thing I would recommend. Put a concrete block on each corner. Will save you from backing anything into a support and keep it anchored down in a high wind or tornado. Yeah, you may lose a sheetmetal roof but its way cheaper than your entire frame flying away.

[@ohiowoodburner]

That may happen but for now I hope to see it handle winds on its own. The blocks prob will take up too much space for me

[@toddpacheco4748]

[@terrymcguire4800]

Great job , good luck

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thank you Terry Mac!

[@jimnietupski6143]

Looks nice. The factory adds angle braces for the roof, however you should probably add cross-braces (or maybe a panel) spanning the uprights as well (like back 40 firewood). There is no stiffness along the baseline. I'm surprised the factory doesn't automatically brace the uprights (or even offer as an optional add-on).

[@ohiowoodburner]

Not sure but I will see how it behaves in the future and make changes if needed. Thanks Jim

[@rodneysweetnam8653]

Hi Joe - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. I imagine you will fit gutters in due course as all the perimeter dripping would be a constant source of annoyance.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I am sure there are a number of issues that will manifest. Gutters being one Thanks BR!!!

[@botabob]

Joe, I just want to complement you on holding off a year before putting a roof over the Japa processor. The year has given you time to validate the layout of your wood yard and given you time to research what is available. I think Mark is going to be selling a lot of buildings. An indorsement from the Ohio Wood Burner is as good as gold. I just trying to figure out why you were complaining about the weather. It was a beautiful day... somewhere! LOL Enjoy the journey - cheers

[@ohiowoodburner]

haha thanks BotaBob. Also thanks for the stickers. I think it was prudent to wait and see where things work and don't. I still don't have everything figured out but I'm happy with the location of the Japa.

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

Nice. Now you need actual gutters so the rain doesn't pound the Cleaner and log table and probably soak you on tractor trying to load table and checking on cleaner. Now office next and you can add a above ground septic for sewer just for toilet that can be pumped out like a Porta Jon and sink can go to ditch or ground for cleaning up with the little water that will use. Oh he can probably add something to top your block walls next to conex to add a covered area to park the Eastonmade and work in the rain.

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

@@ohiowoodburner of course. I'm a realist I speak in wish list format. Lol

Hi Joe. Nice video. Glad to see you have some cover. Will there be another one of these coming for the axis? Very professional crew.

I wonder if you and Mark could team up to build a kiln out of one of the small metal buildings? Have a great day guys 👍🏻!

[@rajbeekie7124]

Congrats on another development to your business. Transparency is fine, but I see nothing wrong if the man gave you a 10%-25% discount to advertise his business. Depending on the quality of materials and warranty that could translate into a couple thousand dollars. You have built up your firewood business and viewership. It would be great to have mutual relationships. In this case you get the discount. He gets lot of advertising and a minute to tell his story. Best Wishes

[@ohiowoodburner]

I agree with you Raj but at the same time I am also simply a customer and can say good or bad about my experiences. My thought is they will see what I am able to do for them and perhaps that can be the beginning of a mutally beneficial relationship

[@GregPrince-io1cb]

What type of anchors did they use for our Ohio winds??

[@ohiowoodburner]

The augers didn't work. The ones they used had staggered blades on them and were about 2 feet long. There are 8 total

[@TheFirewoodHut]

Lookin' good, Joe! "Let it rain" - Won't stop production now. One observation though; No crossbracing front to back??? Looks very susceptible to wind. There've got bracing side to side.

If the logs were part way into the building, they would not need to be cut in two. To get the logs part way into the building drive the tractor at an angle towards the front of the building. Position the deck and processor accordingly, at an angle to the building. You made a mistake thinking there were only two ways to orient the processor inside the building.

First of all, thank you very much for the great video (and for the many others too) & greetings from Germany. I'm getting my Japa405 in July. I have two more questions => does it snow sometimes and if so, is the roof enough for it? Will the feeding table and firewood cleaner still be outdoors or are you planning more roofs here? Thank you very much for your answers in advance.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks for your comment and watching our YT Channel! Where I live in Ohio is referred to as the "Snow Belt." We can get big snow here off Lake Erie but we have had a two year drought of the white stuff. I am certain the car port can hold big snow. I do not plan to put either the table or the cleaner under a roof but, at least for the table, would require a large span bc the legs would have to clear the length of the logs which can be up to 25 feet long (7.6 meters) BTW I may be in Hessen Germany in June. Can you plan to visit the KWF Tagung Schwarzenborn?
