It’s no secret that this is the season for extreme weather and we hope that you and your family have stayed safe during the storms this year. Mother Nature can offer heartbreaking reminders that our homes and property are frequently no match for the power of natural disasters. And while we don’t claim that our buildings can withstand tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, fires or other acts of God, we do try to make our structures as durable and lasting as possible. So it’s inspirational for us to hear from customers whose Tuff Shed buildings have come through some pretty incredible circumstances. Here are a couple of extreme examples from customers who have experienced property loss as a result of severe weather, but have been fortunate at least to have their Tuff Shed building remain intact. The first comes from uncertain, TX where Tuff Shed customer, Larry Hopkins was happy to see his building stand strong through record breaking flood waters. “We experienced what has been called a 50-year flood. We purchased our building in 2015 and as you can see it came through the flood unbelievably well. After the water receded, I washed the interior and exterior with a brush to remove the water stain then allowed a couple of weeks for it to air out. As you can see form the last photo it’s “just like new” again. Thanks for building a quality product and it truly is a TUFF SHED!” The second customer example also comes out of Texas. Michael, our customer from the city of Rowlett, TX was amazed that his 20+ year old Tuff Shed building came through a category EF-4 tornado almost fully intact. “Aside from some missing shingles and subsequent water damage, the door opens as smoothly and as in-line as it did from the beginning,” he says. Following the tornado that hit on December 26 of last year, a local television news crew aired video from Michael’s neighborhood, showing his still standing Tuff Shed building as well as the complete destruction of his home located only steps away. Likely, it was just the random luck of location that the force of the wind didn’t pick up or blow apart Michael’s shed but pardon us if we use his account for inspiration to keep designing and building our structures to be the best they can be.

Best Metal Sheds

What to Consider

Finding a great metal shed can be a daunting task; they vary in price, size, and functionality, so keep these considerations in mind when selecting the perfect shed for your outdoor space.

Size

If you’re primarily focused on keeping your outdoor furniture and some smaller items out of the rain, wind, snow, or sun, then a small- or medium-sized shed would be your best bet; they won’t take up too much space in your yard, yet they provide just enough storage for your essentials. On the other hand, if you have a collection of outdoor tools, machines, and more, then you’ll need a larger shed—likely one with additional shelf space—so there’s a spot for everything.

Durability

While metal sheds tend to be durable, it’s still good to check out what kind of metal they're made of before making your purchase. Alloy steel is typically more heat- and rust-resistant than galvanized steel, and the addition of a vinyl coating to steel typically improves its UV-resistance and durability.

How We Selected

Our picks for the best metal sheds range in size and functionality, so there’s an option for just about any outdoor space. To finalize our list, we carefully read both product specs and customer reviews for each shed to ensure that they'll suit a wide variety of needs.
