storage shed
Quick question for you guys. I relocated from Indiana back to Texas and I lived in the sticks out in the Midwest. The home I left had a really sweet shop so I could have all my junk everywhere and the wife didn't mind.
New place in Texas is in a subdivision and has no shop and quite frankly my stuff will not fit in the garage. So I am thinking about one of those outdoor storage buildings in the back yard to house my bikes in. Would be in my backyard with no access from the back and a 8FT privacy fence so decently safe I think when locked up properly. I was looking at a 8 x 10 or 10 x 12 to store a a couple of bikes and parts. Has anyone used one of these for this purpose? I know I do not want a metal one but what about the plastic vs the wood ones? Recommendations? Budget is probably $1500 or so. Help?

No clue about the resin/plastic buildings but a buddy of mine uses one of these wooden kits for his HD. He and I both really like it and the loft is awesome! It is a KIT building for around 1k at Home Depot. If your good with a hammer, you could build it from scratch cheaper though.
 Be aware, this kit does not include roof shingles and various other items you will need. Plan on spending about $300-$400 more dollars for the extra stuff and I recommend a pressure treated floor. But all said and done, it should still be within your budget.

Friend of mine has used TuffShed twice, and was very happy with what they had built for him. Budget may be a little north of what you listed, but perhaps not too much.
