Looking at an option of a vinyl backyard storage shed like the one below available from Pricesmart

or a metal storage shed like the one below which is made locally

Anyone has one of these.... looking for the better option

Thanks

pricesmart one kinda expensive, no?
what'll be the cost to build one as opposed to buying a premade?

[ruffneck_12]

go with the metal

Is not a children's playhouse, is big man ting

[jsr]

just hope the metal provides good amount of year's usage

X2

Cost difference would be nice

[jsr]

pricesmart one costs $11,000 approx

[Strugglerzinc]

for $11k you could build a split level storage shed.

my problem with building one is t&c approval

^ for a shed. i thought that was viewed as temporary structure.

u cud build yur own outta ply & galvanize for.that price

[pioneer]

Ent...and you could drive round your neighbourhood and collect people ole ply and galvanize too

That pricesmart one looks like a child's play house. Go with the metal one. Most likely cheaper and more reliable.

Yeah, the vinyl looks kinda playhouse-ish.

Go with which ever one's dimensions, better fit your needs oui OP.

Or, just have one built.

Vinyl will deteriorate fairly quickly when exposed to the sun's UV rays. Check Tracmac for Dexion slotted angle when they have their annual sale day. Dexion is bolted together and you can clad with roofing sheets. You can get the roofing sheets cut to size by Varma in Plaisance Park.

thanks for that tip

what about if i use cement board ( plycem ) instead for the siding

Not so if the manufacturer pre-treated the vinyl with UV-Stabilizers though eh. But it should be fairly easy to find out if that was the case.

With that said, constructing your own shed might still be the best option.

Don't waste your money with pricesmart one build your own

[jsr]

thanks

Once it can stand up to the elements

[pugboy]

that is easy to build out of c purlins and roofing sheets
a regular aluminum door frame can be screwed to the purlins

So build one and 'rest' it there like you would either of the other two options?

i wonder if there is an instructional kit for a DIY enthusiast

Is a 10 foot cargo container out of the question? I've been exploring this option myself...

[Chimera]

I sure those are the rubbermaid ones....

they will be too small
cant even put a ladder in them

[pugboy]

if you ever see how men frame up a roof with purlins and screws and a shears you
will see that it is not that difficult if you can use a screwgun and shears and square

i wonder if there is an instructional kit for a DIY enthusiast
