Recently, Mama Pea over at http://ahomegrownjournal.blogspot.com/ made a post about how they manage their fuel for heating with wood. It has inspired me to post about how we manage ours.
In the spring of 2018, less than a year after we moved here, after some thought, Hubby finalized the positioning of the woodshed we knew we needed to keep our wood piles out of the weather. The east end of the barn was the place.
The east barn wall was reinforced by diagonal braces on the inside, attached to the side walls of the barn, to take the added weight of the attached roof and the snow load. Hubby then harvested some straight spruce and balsam fir for the rafters, sizeable hemlock for the beams, and some sturdy cedars for supporting posts at the front end for which he dug the holes and sunk them in. He positioned the heavier beams with the aid of a tripod and a chain hoist.The metal roofing was scavenged from a scrap yard. 
Under construction (piles awaiting splitting)
The trees for wood are harvested in the fall, winter or early spring, depending on snow depth, and hauled to the wood yard behind the barn with the ATV trailer. The rounds are piled until we have a splitting bee, usually early in the spring before the flies get too active. The split wood is then piled under cover. We keep about a two year's supply, so it is well seasoned.
After the splitting bee, I rake up and collect all the detritus from the splitting, in pails and bins, and keep it in the barn, as it is great small stuff for starting a quick, hot fire.
spring...working on filling
The barn woodshed is about a hundred yards from the house. We fill the house woodshed which is beside the (unheated) back porch by trailering loads up from the barn with the ATV.

Inside the porch we have a whole end divided off for wood. 
A bench seat under which we store our off season footwear
It is brought inside to the stove as needed in a little plastic bin with sturdy handles. It is just a few short steps to get wood from the back porch.
This winter, we have emptied the house wood shed once, and have only partially refilled it since. Yes, heating with wood warms you more than once!!
