Outdoor storage sheds

tommymac · 09-02-2009, 02:06 PM

Were thinking of getting one and possible 2 sheds to store some of our pool supplies and outdoor stuff. I just wanted to see what other people have and what seems to work beeter with steel vs vinyl vs wood.

For the bigger one I may wind up making a concrete floor for it or possibly plywood but havent decided. its not at the top of the list but may want to get it done before it gets cold if I have to pour concrete.

personally I like wood. I can design and build it myself. They are as heavy duty as you want and easy to maintain. Last one I built was 10 by 12 framed out the floor and sheeted with 3/4 plywood. I used it to store 4 wheelers, golf cart, and other toys. Worked great and stood up to the weather very well. I never worried about my shed going to visit the neighbors like people with the little tin sheds did.

Tin/alumiminum sheds are terrible once they are older than 2 years.
Do wood.

10' x 16' with a garage door. I keep my cub cadet, all the attachments plus various other stuff including the ZR1100.

Here's a fact for you. The bigger the shed, the more shit you'll put in it

The chimney is for the wood burning pot belly stove

10x16 is way too big for us. We only have a 60x100 plot and a pool in the back. I am thinking an 8x8 ft maybe 8x10 but I need to measure out the spot in the yard where I want to put it to see what kind of room I have.
