4. The Hamlet by Arrow
An economical solution
If you’re after storage space on a budget, then you can’t go past a metal shed. Not only are they cheap, but they keep the weather out just like a more expensive sheds does.
Metal sheds are also known for lasting. Older metal sheds tend to rust and dint, and although metal sheds are still prone to these, newer models have a better resistance to rust and corrosion.
If your sitting on the fence about metal, then this one comes with a 12 year limited warranty. So at least you know the manufacturer is willing to back their product.
Overall:
This shed is a great economical solution, even though it does require a foundation (added extra.) See the exact price, here.

6. Greenstone Aspen Shed
For the traditionalists
The shed has a traditional look, which is only enhanced by the cedar siding and large framed doors. We like cedar sheds because they give a beautiful and natural look. This shed is no exception.
That traditional know how is visible throughout the design with a large roof overhang the whole way around the shed. Shifting excess water away from the base.
At first glance you can see a very square shed, which includes a square window that lets the natural light flow in, in case you did want work in this shed.
Unlike plastic or metal sheds, cedar is a renewable resource which helps the environment. It also helps the economy because its made in the USA.
Overall:
A great looking shed for a fair price.

Traditional looking shed | A little square |
Overhang keeps water away | Sits high off the ground |

For extra storage options you are able to make shelves (instructions come with the shed) to fit inside the shed. Which will help keep your gear organized.

Quick and easy assembly | Cannot paint or customize |

The new centerpiece for your garden
This unique shed gets attention, from any angle. Its as pretty as a picture, and is the perfect shed to accompany your yard, but also store all your garden tools.
Solid wood double doors open to give easy access inside, and a large window lets in natural light. It is quite tall with 6ft sidewalls and a total height of 9’7” (including cupola), which is nice for taller folk.

9. Shed-In-A-Box by ShelterLogic
A temporary solution
Sometimes you don’t want something permanent. Maybe you’re renting or you need to move your storage around, or you only need a seasonal solution.
Whatever the reason this steel framed, polyethylene covered shed can help. The footprint is the same, 6x6 ft, but it is cheaper and easier to setup than any of its rivals.
It does have its down sides as well. For one there is no floor, so the ground underneath the shed can get wet. It is also noisy in the wind and strong winds will eventually rip and tear at the cover.
Overall:
It’s hard to recommend or not recommend, but it is great for a portable, quick solution that will fit in the trunk of your car. See what REAL HOMEOWNERS thought of theirs here.
Pros | Cons |
---|---|
Quick and easy assembly | Items can get wet from ground |
Assembles almost anywhere | Fabric will eventually tear |
10. Walk in Storage House - XL
Temporary, temporary!
This solution is more like a tent than a shed.
It is a cost effective solution, for those in warm climates to keep the sun and light rain off. It will not hold up well against strong weather conditions.
This is a quick temporary solution to store your items. Some homeowners complain that the floor gets wet, and the fabric tears after a period of time. This can be due to snagging the fabric during assembly, or it rubbing against something.
The Walk in Storage house is nota bad solution, it’s just that it’s probably past its use by date when that starts happening.
Overall:
For these reasons we don’t recommend this as a permanent solution. Just a temporary one, for nice, calm weather. Read the reviews here.
Pros | Cons |
---|---|
Cheap | Temporary solution only |
Everything included | Fabric material can fray easily |
