Costco has a Keter/Lifeline one that seems like good quality and should last (and if not, return it)

I have a friend that delivers and installs real amish built quality sheds with warranty. PM for his number

Got my dad the DuraMax Yardmate 5x8 in 2009, he’s been very happy with it. He installed it on a cinderblock+plywood platform on top of soil in the backyard. His is model 00811, I think this is the updated model (similar price to what he paid as well:

Merged to existing shed topic, see what I wrote above, should be available in larger sizes too

av83 Here’s a buying guide that should be helpful.

The same website also has info about permits and suggests that sheds your size might need a permit:

Lifetime 5 x 8 Shed $799 in stores only (not online)

Costco

My succah was stored in my garage but I need to claim that space for other things so I'm looking for a shed. Ideally I would get something like this https://www.amazon.com/Lifetime-6402-Outdoor-Storage-Windows/dp/B0041115M6 but it is way above and beyond anything I can spend. Which leads me to metal sheds, something like this, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08NJCYPV. So, my question is, I have 11 of the typical 8' X 4' fiberglass panels will this 9' x 6' shed be big enough to store all the panels?

Anyone have a shed they use and recommend?

If you’re a DIY’er I’d say build a framed one yourself, it’ll last way longer then this metal one.
And it’s very simple to do it

You built one?
I always find building things to be harder then they seem.

Define simple

but, where do I start? Something like this? https://www.wayfair.com/EZ-Frames--10-W-x-16-D-DIY-Storage-Shed-Kit-10x16SS-L510-K~EZFM1018.html?refid=FR49-EZFM1018

And, just now while I was searching I found this one which looks promising, it's not metal and the price is not nearly as crazy as the lifetime ones https://www.erlinket.com/product/duramax-8ft-x-5-5ft-storeall-vinyl-shed-with-foundation-kit-and-window/

That duramax goes for at least $850 everywhere else. Pretty sure that that is a scam website.
