I need a new one. My rusty, 20 year old metal shed collapsed under the weight of the snow this winter. Anyone have any opinions on wood versus metal versus plastic sheds? Thanks.

Are you storing any chemicals or gas for a lawnmower? If so, avoid the plastic ones. Many locations specify in town codes they may not be used for this.

Personally, I would go with a wood one on a concrete pad

Wood, or concrete block is another possibility. Skip metal, though per square foot they have to be attractive.

I'd go with wood too! On a concrete pad or block foundation would be perfect!

Wood. I bought a plastic one a month ago, spent a day leveling a spot and putting it up and hated it. Since the handle was only on one door I had a heck of a time getting it to line up with the latch on ther other door to close. The door without the handle kept falling off when I tried to close it. Spent more time taking it down and returning it for a refund.

I would agree with whoever said wood on a concrete pad because of snakes and other vermon getting in them .

Default Keter Fusion 757

Anyone have any experience with Keter's newest shed?

I have an older model, but am thinking that it's about time for an upgrade. It looks damn nice!
