We are looking to buy a storage shed to fit a Lawn mover, Snow Blower, 4 bikes and some other small knicks and knacks. I was looking for advise on
1. what material (wood, plastic, vinyl etc)
2. Size
3. Where should I buy it (Home depot, Lowe’s or a local maker).

Thank you.

we live in CT and have a Rubbermaid shed the Big Max, it was easy to put together and has been out in the yard for 6 plus winters- everything is still dry. It does need to get hosed out once a year as the spiders love it, but all you have to do is move the stuff into the lawn, hose away, let dry and its good to go.
it also has the ability to be locked with a pad lock- to keep the stuff where you left it.
the new ones have windows ad i’m guessing that cuts down on the spiders as they like the dark.

we got ours at the home depot- I would shop around for prices.

Any help out there? I’ve done carpentry and remodels before, but wish to do this one on my own. I don’t want to buy the plans for this project. I also do not have anyone helping to pay for this with me, so I need to plan ahead for my new shed, saving up for it for the next couple months until it warms back up. How much will it cost, approximately?
Those kits at the "Home or Building " stores start around a thousand dollars. (I may need that long to save up!)
Advice, handy persons?

This size is larger than the one I have right now, and have limited space in which to build it. Sure, I’d like an entire garage, but won’t get that wish on my lot.

Here’s some pretty good looking plans:

Good luck…

Plastic outdoor sheds are cheaper than wooden sheds, but costlier than metal sheds.

I recently bought a plastic resin storage shed (10 x 10) for about $1600. A similar metal shed would have cost one-third that price — but I stay away from metal because of durability & maintenance issues.

All the sheds I’ve built / bought over the past 15 years have been either plastic or wood. They are easy to install and very durable.

I live in a mobile home park. Every house has a storage shed that was built sitting directly on the dirt when the home was installed. The shed is about 8×10, made of wood whatever that siding is that they put on new mobile homes. Since it is sitting on the dirt, it seems to me that it will begin to decay and also will get termites (in fact, it has them already). I wish it could have been built on a concrete slab, but the park does not allow that. So I was thinking it would be good to raise it up on bricks around the exterior wall, at least, so it is not sitting on the dirt.

But how to go about that? The thing ways a near infinite amount, as far as I can tell (though it has no foundation below the dirt), and there is no way to slide something like a jack under one side unless I dug a hole under the side. So how to raise it? Or is it a bad idea?

And is there something I can put for termites in the boards touching the dirt short of having it tented? The floor is plywood.

this is very hard to do without the floor area collapsing downwards even if you empty out the shed before you start, the easiest way I have found is to disassemble the shed piece by piece very carefully , set your blocks that will support the whole thing evenly and reassemble. if you break or the wood is to far gone with rot buy new to replace it, the people who put this building up to start with took the cheapest way put and now you have to deal with it. good luck.

I’m planning in putting in a 10′x12′ wood storage shed. I plan on having it bricked in at a later time to save money. What should the foundation be for the shed initially and how much should each part cost (storage shed, bicked in (with labor), concrete slab (if needed)). The other option is to have a 10′x12′ building built instead. How much would that cost and which is easier to build and less costly.

Thank You for your help

cost depends on area…. But yes if you plan on bricking it the best solution is installing a slab with footings and a brick ledge so that your brick will not settle and crack. at this point I would put in doors windows skylights so that you are please with it since it will cost a good little bit of money. think abou a steep pitch roof so that you can have storage in the attic.

I’m thinking on buying a backyard storage shed but not sure if I should go for vinyl or wood shed. Which one of this is more suitable for Houston? My HOA says I can choose either one but I’m not sure on the pro and cons of the twos except the $$$ different. I want to stor unused furniture but worried the moist and heat will damaged the furniture. Adding A/C or heater is not possible as the outside outlet is at the other end of the house and the mowing factor ………… Please advise.

I live in Houston and I have a Rubbermaid vinyl shed that is doing pretty well for me. I store gardening tools and my lawnmower in it. It does get buggy with spiders etc. BTW, it made it through IKE in perfect shape.

Does anyone know where I can purchase a good wood storage shed with a loft in the measurements of 10′w by 14′d by 12′h? I’m looking for a kit which I can assemble myself from a company that will ship nationwide. Don’t want those cheapy metal sheds, looking for wood. Don’t want those plans/blueprints since my carpenter skills are pretty limited. Looked at most companies but the roof heights are only around 10′, need lots of loft space. Something just like a Tuffshed but cheaper. (BTW, Home Depot and Lowes don’t carry sheds with ceilings past 10′ specs on their diy kits). Thanks!!

This site has good info. You should be able to find what you are looking for and I am sure you don’ need to spend a fortune.
Good Luck
