When it comes to outdoor sheds, there are several different types available, including wood, metal, and plastic. Everyone remembers the old corrugated-metal versions. Although they were cheap and easy to build, they tended to rust and leak. And while wood sheds can be beautiful and durable, they are also quite expensive to build. Outdoor plastic sheds have the best of both worlds, and none of the hassles.

Plastic sheds come in all shapes and sizes. There are small, low storage sheds that look like kitchen counters and are perfect barbecue centers, and there are tall, space-saving sheds that are great for tall tools. Most versatile are the larger models with pitched roofs and plenty of cubic feet for unlimited storage possibilities. All you need is your imagination to unlock their many uses: a garden center, a woodworking shop, even a child's playhouse. But the best thing is, you don't have to be an experienced builder to put these sheds together--they're designed so that the average do-it-yourselfer can put them together in a few hours.

Once you put an outdoor shed together, your only worry is what to put inside. Plastic and vinyl waterproof, which means you don't have to worry when rain or snow hits your shed. And of course, a shed of this type will not rot or rust. Yearly maintenance consists of maybe rinsing it off with the hose.
