Anybody have thoughts and experience with outdoor wood storage sheds? Looking at a 12' x 12' size to fit on a 13' x 13' concrete pad. Looking at Tuff Sheds, but curious on all options. Would store mower, snowblower, and other misc stuff typically found in garage.

TIA

Sounds like a fun 2-3 weekend project! But I also work construction during the summer.

Whatever you decide, I would recommend a small window on the gable end, for light not ventilation. Use treated lumber with any wood that touches the concrete. Make sure the paneling is at least an inch off the concrete. A loft for storage, but not shelves that go all the way down to your valuable floor space. Don't skimp on the size of your entry door, at least 42". That's all that's coming to me.... Good luck!

If you have the means, build your own.

Excellent post. You definitely want to keep in mind the effects water will have on it both from above and below.
