In the storage shed industry, you often hear the term “vinyl storage sheds” being thrown around. That term is used for two very different kinds of storage buildings, namely vinyl-sided storage sheds and plastic sheds (also known as vinyl or resin sheds). There’s a need for clarity on the difference between these two very different types of sheds.
In order to keep it simple in this article, “plastic sheds” will be the term used to describe the vinyl or resin sheds. It seems that the plastic shed industry wanted to get away from the term “plastic” because of the negative connotations (we often think of “plastic” products as being of inferior quality). And since the term “vinyl” more accurately describes plastic that can be bent (think of vinyl flooring and vinyl siding), the plastic shed industry chose “resin” as the preferred term. The reality is that resin is the term used to describe the basic substance that is used in the creation of plastic. So plastic is the most widely understood term that will be used for plastic sheds in this article.
Let’s do a feature analysis of both vinyl-sided wood storage sheds and plastic sheds. (You can learn more about our vinyl sheds here.)
Plastic Sheds
Plastic sheds are a newer invention, many of which have entered the market only in the last 20-30 years. Plastic sheds come in all shapes, colors, sizes, and levels of quality. The cheapest plastic sheds have no floor and are simply staked down to the ground. More expensive plastic sheds come with a floor that’s made of the same plastic material.
One of the advantages of a plastic shed is that it can be more easily moved from one place to the other. Many plastic sheds are shipped as a kit that is assembled on-site, so if your location is extremely difficult to access a plastic shed may be your only option.
Tip: Some vinyl-sided wood shed builders offer onsite construction for hard to access areas. Check with your local builder.
Another reason to use a plastic shed is the price tag. Many plastic sheds can be purchased for less than vinyl-sided wood sheds, especially if you eliminate the floor. So if you don’t expect to use your shed for many years or pass it down to your children, a plastic shed may be a good option.
A disadvantage of a plastic shed is often decreased security. Many plastic sheds are easier to enter forcefully. So if you’re planning to store valuable items and live in a neighborhood where security is an issue, you may want to consider something other than a plastic shed.
A plastic shed also looks like plastic (surprise!). Can you imagine a plastic shed in your backyard? Compare that with a vinyl sided wood shed that’s built with the same materials as your house. A vinyl-sided wood shed certainly has greater aesthetic value.
Tip: Many vinyl-sided wood shed builders allow you to choose custom siding and roofing colors to match your house!
Vinyl-Sided Storage Sheds
Vinyl sided storage sheds have been around for a long time. At first, it was aluminum siding. Then in the 1980s vinyl siding increased in popularity and many home and shed builders switched to using only vinyl siding.
Here’s a couple of our vinyl-sided sheds from our inventory.
If you would like to see more of our in-stock vinyl sheds, view our inventory page.
Vinyl siding is only the veneer that covers and protects a wood structure. It serves the purpose of adding visual appeal to the structure and it protects the wood structure from the elements. So as we talk about a vinyl storage building, we’re actually talking more about a wood structure with a vinyl siding veneer. With that in mind, we’ll take some time to explore the benefits and disadvantages of a wood structure.
Tip: Storage sheds are also available in wood siding. Modern wood siding is engineered to withstand moisture and holds paint and stain very well. It’s a good option if you prefer the classic look of wood.
There are many advantages to using wood as the main structural component of a shed. Wood is one of the strongest building materials (it’s probably what your home is made of). It’s a renewable resource that has been and will be used in construction for a long time.
Using wood as the structural component of a storage building means that you can easily customize the inside. You can insulate the walls if at some point you decide that you would like to control the climate in the shed. You can add shelving and organizing boards (imagine trying to pound a nail in the wall of a plastic shed). You can run wires through the walls for electricity. Basically anything that you can do on the inside of your house can be done to the inside of a wood-framed storage shed.
Although wood is more susceptible to rot and decay than plastic, it’s extremely long-lasting when properly protected from the elements. Think of wood homes that have been around for decades and even centuries! That’s why it’s important to purchase a storage shed from a reputable shed manufacturer that builds sheds following commonly accepted construction practices.
One of the most important components of a wood shed is pressure treated foundation components. This includes skids and floor joists. Pressure-treated wood that is approved for contact with the ground will hold off rot and decay for decades.
The beauty of a vinyl-sided storage shed is that it combines the strength and versatility of a wood structure with the long-lasting and maintenance-free aspects of vinyl. High-quality vinyl siding can perform well with virtually no maintenance for a lifetime (other than a routine cleaning), protecting the wood structure underneath.
Tip: Remember that not all wood sheds are built the same. For the sake of this article, vinyl sided wood sheds being referenced are built according to generally accepted housing standards (wall studs 16” on center, 30 yr. roof shingles, etc). Not cheap wood buildings that are susceptible to rot and decay or being blown over in the next wind storm.
Conclusion
When compared side by side, vinyl-sided wood sheds have many advantages over plastic sheds. So if you’re ever thinking of customizing the interior of your shed, if you want a building that lasts for decades with little maintenance, if you don’t like the look of plastic, and if you need secure storage space, you’ll probably want to start looking for a vinyl-sided wood shed. One size of shed that looks great in vinyl is the 12×16 shed size.
We offer a wide variety of storage building sizes and colors and provide both direct sale and rent to own options. Don’t hesitate to contact us for more info!
Part 1: Questions to Ask Before Ordering a Prebuilt Garage
Questions to Ask Yourself
Here are a few questions that you should be asking yourself before ordering your prebuilt garage:
What do I want to do with my garage?
Your answer to this question will determine the size of your single-car garage or multiple-car garage, amount and location of doors and windows, and other important details. Will you be using your garage as a workshop or primarily for storage? If you’re interested, we have a comprehensive guide to garage sheds that you’d be welcome to read as well.
How much stuff do I need to store in my garage?
It might be helpful to take the items that you plan to store in your garage and lay them out in your lawn to get an idea how big your garage will need to be. Be sure to leave enough room for walking. Go a little bigger than you’ll think you’ll need because you’ll never regret having plenty of room.
Will my township allow me to install a garage on my property? Are there any height or setback restrictions?
This is perhaps the most important step because you don’t want to place your order only to discover that you won’t be able to get the building you want.
Should my detached garage be insulated?
While it’s possible to go about insulating a detached prefab garage after it’s in place, some parts (like the floor) are much easier to insulate during construction. If you think you may insulate your garage in the future, you could have it built with an insulated floor, insulated windows, and an insulated garage door; you could add insulation to the walls and ceilings later as time and budget allow.
Questions for Your Sales Rep:
Here are the details that you don’t want to miss when talking to the sales rep about your building. This information will be helpful when comparing quality and price between different manufacturers.
How many windows and doors are included? Can I have them placed anywhere on the building?
Your builder should be able to accommodate your request to have the windows and doors installed at the location you prefer at no extra cost.
How high are the walls?
Wall heights vary between builders so you may want to check this detail before ordering.
Does the garage have proper ventilation installed?
Ventilation options include ridge vent and gable or wall vents. Ventilation allows your shed to breathe and reduces the temperature in the building on hot summer days. If ventilation isn’t included, your builder should be able to add vents for a fee.
Part 2: The Prebuilt Garage Installation Process
Single Car Garage Installation
This prebuilt garage is delivered to your prepared site as a complete building. Delivery and placement are normally completed within an hour or two. Max width is usually 14′ or 16′ wide. Here’s another article that may be helpful in answering questions about single car garages or prefab detached garages in general.
The double-wide garage is delivered to your site in two pieces. The two pieces are joined together on-site to form your new garage. Delivery and installation are normally completed within one or two days. Here are some more photos of a double-wide garage installation.
The built-on-site garage is delivered to your site in multiple pieces. Walls are usually preassembled in the shop, delivered to the site, and put in place with a machine. This type of prebuilt garage is built on top of a concrete slab that might include concrete knee walls. Built-on-site garages are bigger (often two-story) buildings. Construction time may require several days.
When it comes to buying portable sheds, you’re faced with a ton of options. How do you know which portable storage building will best fit your needs? First of all, you need to begin by asking a few simple questions.
First question…
How will I be using my portable shed? Portable sheds can be used to meet a variety of needs including storage, vehicle parking, living space, workspace, and the list could go on. The first thing you need to do is think about how you will be using your outdoor storage shed. Your answer to that question will greatly narrow down your options.
Here is a chart with suggested uses for wood storage sheds from Esh’s Utility Buildings.
Next question…
How much stuff will I need to get into my portable shed? It’s a good idea to order a storage shed that’s bigger than you’ll think you’ll need. Shed buyers almost never complain about a wooden shed that’s too big. If you’re not sure how much floor space you’ll need you can lay out the items that you plan to store in the shed and measure around them to determine the size.
How much stuff could you fit into this space?
Question #3
What options will you need to customize the portable shed for your needs? This question is closely connected with the first question. If you’re using the barn shed for storing small items, would an overhead loft or shelves come in handy? Would it be nice to have an extra set of doors or extra windows for better lighting? If you’re planning to work in your wood garden shed you may want to consider an electrical package. Our “Garden Sheds: The Ultimate Guide” article may be a helpful tool in preparing for your garden shed. Be sure to explore all the options so that you won’t be disappointed with the end product. For example, one shed size option that may work well for your backyard and storage needs is the 12×16 shed size. In fact, we’ve got a whole article dedicated to roughly 200 sq. ft. sheds.
Don’t forget to add these options…
Another question…
Which portable shed style will best fit with the other buildings on my property? If your garden shed will be located near other buildings on your property, you’ll want to think about aesthetics. To learn more about garden sheds, feel free to take a look at our “Garden Sheds: The Complete Guide” article. Apart from choosing an appropriate style, you’ll want to think about how your color choices will blend in with or compliment nearby buildings.
Is the portable shed that you’re considering built to last? You probably know by now that outdoor storage buildings require a significant financial investment. Will the building that you’re looking at give you a good return on your investment? A cheap building can quickly become expensive if it only lasts for a few years. Spending a little more for features that make your vinyl shed last longer and perform better is a good idea if you plan to use your building for many years. To get a better idea of outdoor shed costs, our “Outdoor Shed Cost: 2024 Overview” article is a great resource.
Do you ever wish for more for less money? Of course, you do! Do you ever wish for higher quality storage buildings for a lower price? The answer is obviously yes. You may think that you can either get a quality storage shed or a cheap shed for a good price, but not both. However, that is not necessarily true. Our goal is to build better buildings at cheaper prices. Our sheds are stronger and more durable than most other sheds in our area. There are 7 features of our quality sheds that set them apart from most others. We include these quality features at a cheaper price. When you buy from us you get higher quality for a lower price.
1. The Foundation
A storage building is only as good as the foundation that supports it. A quality foundation allows for proper drainage and minimizes shifting that can damage your shed in the long run.
We offer site prep as an additional service when you buy a building from us. Getting a good foundation is a big part of investing in a shed that will last. You can also install a gravel shed pad yourself.
2. The Floor
A very important part of a storage building is the structure of the floor. That’s why we have invested quite a bit, over the last number of years, in testing and developing a quality floor system. To improve it, we have moved from 2×4 floor joists to 2×6 joists and from straight edge 5/8″ flooring to 3/4″ tongue & groove flooring. This tongue and groove interlocks and improves the overall strength of the floor. Plus it boasts a 50 yr warranty.
3. The Threshold
We install a tough and attractive diamond plate on the door threshold to protect your floor edge. This prevents the floor from chipping and cracking while entering and exiting the portable shed.
4. The Frame
Most sheds are framed 24″ on center. However, our buildings are framed 16″ on center. From the floor to the rafters we follow standard house construction spacing. This closer spacing makes the sides and roof much stronger. It produces a higher quality shed.
5. The Inside Corners
The inside wall corners are framed in for a job done right! This makes it look much better. However, more importantly, it prepares the building for finishing the inside if need be. This provides the needed place to fasten drywall or paneling if you wish to make your shed an office, studio, or any other indoor space. We put these joists there for you as a standard feature!
6. The Outside Corners & Overhangs
Building quality storage buildings is more than building a solid structure. It is also about making the structure look attractive. We are passionate about this. While we build with and focus on quality, we want your shed to look good as well. One of the ways we do this is to frame an overhang on our ranch-style storage buildings. These overhangs are up to 8″ wide. This adds beauty and elegance to the storage building.
To make the shed even more attractive, we style the corners. We cut the facia and corner pieces to the right angle so that it looks great. Elegance and beauty is a big part of these corners and overhangs.
7. The Roof
Using felt paper on the roof deck, underneath the roofing material is good. It should be standard on all sheds. Unfortunately, we don’t know of any other shed manufacturer that does this. However, it is a standard feature that you get when you buy from us. Why not get a roof that has a little better roof and that will last for a few more years? Why go with anything less than a quality shed in the backyard?
Potential of Our Quality Storage Buildings
The potential of a storage building is sometimes underestimated. Many storage sheds are used in the normal way, namely, for tool and small equipment storage. Of course, they are great for that. In fact, they are built and designed for exactly that. If you would like to learn about outdoor shed costs, our “Outdoor Shed Cost: 2024 Overview” is a great resource. However, sheds can be built and used for much more. We even have an article on the benefits of backyard chickens because we even offer chicken coop sheds.

That’s all our ideas…for now
We offer these ideas to help stimulate your thinking and to help you think beyond what has been thought of before. There is so much more to explore than we have experienced so far. We can take shed ideas and their uses beyond what has so far been known. Wikipedia’s shed definition says, “A shed is typically a simple, single-story roofed structure in a back garden or on an allotment that is used for storage, hobbies, or as a workshop.” While that definition is true as the typical use, it is not true for the shed possibilities for you. A storage shed does not need to be a single story. You are not limited to using it for storage, hobbies, and a workshop. While that is one use and an idea to consider, it is far from being as noticeably creative. If you want something outstanding, the sky is the limit for you.
