Anyone have a review for some of the pre-fabbed metal or wood storage sheds from places off of the internets or local like northern tool? I built an 8x12 a few years ago and it turned out great, but we're moving soon and I just don't have the time to put into building another from scratch. Something like the below looks just too easy for the price.

With a concrete pad they will last forever. If I can squeeze it with my HOA we will be doing something very similar but bricked to match the house. Riding mower and lawn tools, large car parts, wheel and tire combos, etc.Originally posted by jw33 View Post
Not a bad price and beats building a frame from scratch for materials and labor.Fuck you. We're going to Costco. -
I would go with the wood. I have the metal one just like the sample in that link. I hate it with a passion! It dents easily, leaks like crazy, and bends when anything bumps it. It is jut down right flimsy. Go with a wooden one, they look better anyway.

Ive had an arrow one just like the link for the past 5 years now, and while its gotten some dents over the years its still held up fine, no leaks and keeps the mower/yard tools/etc dry.
I built a raised wood frame for it to sit on, used the concrete deck blocks to keep it raise off the ground. Only thing I would have done different is a lip around the edge for the building to sit on(seal better at the bottom when we get heavy rains) and water seal the wood.
For the money its cheap and works, you can pop it up yourself in a weekend.
If you have the time the wood does look nicer(and probably still really similar in price if you have the time)

JW33 why don;t you just put the shed items in the 3rd garage slot.... its not like you will ever have a project car to put in that spot....

Yup, but on a concrete pad you can be taxed on the improvement. That's why I didn't put a pad on my last 2 storage buildings. I used pressure treated 4x4s on those 12"x12" concrete squares. My latest building is only 8x12' (so it's under 100 sq ft and I didn't have to get HOA approval, or a permit). You can still put a level anywhere on it and it's level. I used pressure treated wood and screws/hurricane anchors everywhere. My wife says it's built better than our house, and she's right. I used pressure treated 4"x6"s for the door jamb.Originally posted by kbscobravert View PostComment

I just got done building this - http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1...&storeId=10051
last weekend, first time I have ever built a shed and it went together really smooth. I had a couple of missing parts and they had the easiest customer service to deal with. I bought it at the Home Depot on 35 in south FW around November and it was on clearance for $299...so if you call around you might find one still. Was $899 originallyComment
