My plan is to hire a carpenter and build a 6 x 7 shed. I just want it to store an extra lawnmower so I don't have to wheel it from the front yard to the back yard every time I mow. It just makes life easier for me. It will also be used to store patio cushions, etc. during the winter.


Have you looked at some of the resin sheds like

I've had a larger one for about ten years and it proved to be durable
even under snow load. They are quite easy to assemble compared to the
Arrow style sheet metal varieties. Depending on size they're under $500.
You would spend almost that for just the materials for a wood shed.


Not if you are in the right place at the right time.

I paid ~$400 total for this 8' x 8' shed:

Open box, shed parts on a pallet. $250.
Open packages of shingles, 3/4" PT ply for the floor, other assorted
odds & ends, ~$150.

The manager had just finished stacking all the parts. Hadn't even put a
price on it yet. She said 3, I said 2, we settled on $250...and she helped
me load it into my trailer. ;-)
