Thanks for looking closely :thumbup:  (At least I thought I saw a comment from you about the floor, but it seems to have gone now :scratch:).

The "shelves" or "floor", if that's the bit you mean, is actually on four joists.  The end joists are 1" in from the posts.  There are two "tie-beams" 1" up from the position of the joists on the end posts.  So the floor is actually on a joist and wedged under the tie-beams on the sides.  Very well wedged!  I had to knock 'em in sideways with the "big wooden hitting stick".  They aint going nowhere in a hurry, screws or no screws.  The only screws are two each end on the boards to keep them from shifting "fore or aft" or "athwarships".  Not sure how clear the following are but they show the arrangement.





In fact, the structure doesn't really need the lower tie-beams at the sides, but they act as stops to stop the bottom logs rolling out the sides, plus I think it might look odd without them.  The thing is, all the joists and two angle braces are mainly hidden under the boards.

Ross,

I had looked at the ends of your shelves where you have an upper batten, but hadn't spotted that they were also resting on battens below, so I deleted my posting as it was utter tosh  :bang:

Thanks Andrew :thumbup:

Don't worry about pointing out the mistakes, there's probably loads and it's always good to get helpful advice from someone else.  It was an easy thing to think. :wave:
