So, I think it's getting to the point where we need a new shed.
The wooden one we have had for ages is requiring more and more repairs to keep the elements (and critters) out, and seems almost constantly damp in the cooler months now. I've just patched another hole near the base with a piece of scrap plywood!
Any suggestions on what sort to go for? I'm expecting to get it around next spring/summer time ideally so have some time to decide, but wondered if anyone had some advice/feedback on what sort to go for?
As I see it, the choice is between metal, plastic, and wood. All of which have their pro's and cons.
Wood - traditional and possibly lower cost? But has to be constantly maintained with paint etc to prevent rot/damp.
Metal - Robust but expensive and potentially vulnerable to corrosion I guess? Also rain noise on roof could be a problem?
Plastic - Not vulnerable to rot/corrosion but I've heard can get degraded by UV light? Also potential rain noise issue?
Could be wrong on the above, of course!
