nice choice I done more looking and found some a lil closer to me that offer free delivery and install, so I'm going to shoot for one of them but for curiosity could you tell me how much or link to that one? maybe pm? I want one just like that and around that same size is perfect for me, only difference would be I'd want a walk in door in back and garage door in front like yours.

Just a word of warning...

We have a similar building at work for storing our pallets out of the weather. It is anchor bolted to the ground and was professionally installed.... it did fine for about 2 months. Now the frame is bent and has a serious lean to it, some of these low cost places use sub par metal. The framing is super thin and bends/twists very easily, especially if you have mild wind in your area.

I'm sure if you used additional bracing  would be fine, but just wanted to let you know my experience with these shops.

This kind of thing fascinates and also confuses me also, so:


How much can you realistically spend?

Do you own the land free and clear?

And if so, does your zoning permit putting that kind of building on the land?

Only problem with one of them in the woods is a good size tree will flatten it if it lands on it. Where as a stick built will take some of the blow without folding like a cardboard box.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs
