Right after we moved in I hired a local company to build me a shed on site. The are wood frame, but steel panels coated with some baked on Epoxy coating. They had an all wood and the metal skin versions side by side. the Metal skin one was MUCH cooler in the summer sun.
Our is 12x14 feet and I paid an extra $100 to have it made 8 feet tall not 6 feet so I don't have to duck. After 21 years of Oklahoma sun it still looks nice and has weathered several hail storm that destroyed a roof on the house.
One guy showed up at 8:00 AM and had a full size pickup loaded to the top with precut wood, and the metal panels. He built it on the concrete blocks we provided. He drove the last screw into place about 4:00 PM same day. I am real happy I paid to have it delivered and built for me. I am a lousy carpenter and it would have been lopsided and falling down by now if I did it. I do know my limits.
It is big enough to store the lawn mower, edger, string trimmer, leaf blower, power washer, fertilizer spreader, shop vac, chain saws, and lots of stuff for my master gardener wife's projects and my garage is clear of that crap.
