Outside storage shed ideas

[sandman7925]

I need a shed for the backyard. I'm thinking something like 8' x10'.
Any suggestions that doesn't cost a fortune that's also not gonna fall apart

Check with Meuller in Port Allen for a steel building kit. They list a 9X12 for $1195

I would suggest the same caveat as when buying a gun safe. Figure out what size you think you need and then double it.

I bought this shed plan several years ago. I enlarged it to 8x16. The plan scales easily. It was solid and it looked nice.

I built my own, slab and all, 16" centers studs, shingle roof, wood walls painted for 1600$. Slab and all. It's 12x16. Definitly go bigger than you think you need. I though I would need 8x10 so I went bigger and very very glad I did.

I went cheapest, but am super happy. Bought a rubbermaid 10x12 prefab shed. Two years now and no leaks and it disassembled easily enough for a move. Just had to lay a sand base down and bolt it together.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Decisions decisions. I like the idea of building one, finding the time to do it is the problem

Those things are bomb proof, I don't think my HOA would approve however

That's why I live in the country.

I've been seriously considering a small one for a shed for my old car.

I just looked at a few sites to see how much the shipping containers run, but all the ones I see are 'call for quote'.

I have a 40' high cube. It put me back about 4500 but it as tough as nails. It was sand blasted and repainted prier to delivery.
