Assembled a new shed

Tore down our old DIY hardwood shed and assembled a new plastic resin shed. Used an existing wood frame from the old shed as the foundation. Wrapped the foundation in a heavy duty tarp to protect against moisture. Stays dry, critters aren't interested in living in it, looks ok.

Well done, looks pretty sharp.

I like the style. The doors aren't boring slabs.

Looks like a job done well and it will last a while. It's the

old hardwood replaced by plastic

that needs a bit of time to land with me. I'm not saying you made the wrong choice it's just that I'm in the woods so plastic does not fit in easily for me. But I get it, a new hardwood shed will cost an arm and a leg (and probably least a kidney too) and then there is the time to build it.....

How did you anchor it to mother earth ?

Thank you! Shed screwed down to the wood frame foundation, foundation held in place with some strategically placed rebar.

Having assembled a plastic shed, I think it might be easier to build from scratch!

You're spot on! If this thing fails, everything inside just gets covered with a tarp. HOA be damned.

That's a really pretty little shed well done. It's homely

Have a few gallons of gasoline in there too. Thinking it was smart to build it away from the house.
