I need to have a storage shed in the backyard. Its dimension is about
15' wide, 6' depth and 6' height. Should I build it by myself or buy
the already built in like rubbermaid, steel,.... I've never built
anything before, but I don't mind to give it a try. And where can I
find the plan for a storage with that size. Any suggestion is
appreciated. Thanks

If you have never built anything before, unless you want a learning
experience, buy a delivered prebuilt. It'll probably be cheaper than buying
the wood/shingles/paint etc, to build one from scratch. If you want to learn
basic carpentry (which is a wonderful skill to have), either do a Google
search for 'shed plans', or buy a DIY book about home inprovement that
includes outdoor sheds. Then make a material list, and take it around to the
local supply yards, and ask what the package price would be, and compare it
to the kits they offer. If you have never even used a hammer, I'd highly
recommend hiring one of those semi-retired freelance fixit guys to assist
you on the project, with the understanding that you will be standing there
helping and learning. If he balks at that idea, hire someone else. It ain't
rocket science, but experience helps a lot. Don't forget that site prep will
be a big part of the work- a big flat spot, preferably with several inches
of gravel, will make the build go a lot easier, and make the shed last
longer.
