Storage space is coveted in almost every household. Whether it is an indoor closet or an outdoor shed, having some extra storage space can be very useful. If you’re considering adding some more storage space and you have your eye on a storage shed, there are several factors you should take into consideration before you buy. You should first consider what you would like to use your storage shed for. While storage sheds can hold everything from your lawnmower to last years Christmas decorations, what you intend to use your storage shed for will play a huge part in what you should buy. If you just want extra storage space, you might think that all sheds are the same, but the quality of materials can vary greatly. Storage sheds come in three basic materials – vinyl, metal and wood. Here is what to expect with plastic and metal sheds and how Tuff Shed buildings are different from the rest:

Plastic buildings:

These types of sheds are usually provide a reduced amount of storage space and are best used to store small items. While they often cost less than their counterparts, they do have their fair share of disadvantages. First and foremost, since plastic sheds are easy to build, they’re also easy to take apart and not as durable as other types of sheds. They are susceptible to being blown down in strong gusts of wind and other extreme weather due to how lightweight they are. Plastic sheds are also not as attractive as wood sheds. Although they have come a long way aesthetically, now resembling wood grain, a plastic shed will never have the same charm and look as a wood shed. Their color also tends to fade over time when left in the sun since few are made with UV protected materials.

Metal buildings:

Similar to their plastic equivalents, metal sheds can be cost effective but have many disadvantages. Metal sheds are also lightweight and require anchoring to prevent damage from strong winds and other weather. With metal, also comes the potential for significant rust damage in the future, and over time may become an eyesore in your backyard.
