I've been meaning to build some kind of roof for my oak wood storage for almost a year. I finally got around to it. I built a simple wooden frame, or two actually. The roof is rather long, so I made it into two identical roofs, mounted side by side. On top of that I bolted black corrugated sheet metal. I put two hinges on each roof (to the far left in the photo), so I can simply raise either half up/down when loading/unloading. Rather simple, but gets the job done. It is very well ventilated, and my oak wood stays dry.
This is the short end of it, the full length of the roof is 18 feet (5.6 meters). It is not attached to the round wooden poles to the right, that edge of the roof simply rests on those poles, so I can raise it at my convenience. It is also heavy enough for wind not to be a problem.
