    Does anyone have a great storage shed they purchased online?
    We had one an eagle scout built in 2011. It leaks. 
    We use it to store art supplies, manipulatives etc. Not for big garden tools, for smaller stuff.

    We got a Tough Shed.  They are really well made.  I can't say how long they last, but I think that our school's larger Tough Shed brand sheds have been around for many years.  We purchased a smaller one thanks to a grant a teacher got. They are not cheap and need to be put together by the company I think.   We got a relatively small sized shed.  Maybe 4'x8', I can't recall the dimensions.  They have a lot of sizes and custom add ons.  Ours has shelves on one side and a peg board on one side and larger tools hanging on the back wall.  We bought the tool hangers ourselves.  I think the peg board and accessories might have been purchasable from Tough Shed but at least the peg board itself was.

    I recently purchased a Tuff Shed for our school garden. They are very well made and last about 25 to 30 years. They come in different sizes and styles. I suggest that you buy them direct from Tuff Shed. It’s definitely worth the price. If they have a show room close to you, go there. They cover everything from installation to painting.They are knowledgable about what is required for a shed on a school campus. They also have discounts for schools. I would strongly recommend not buying it from Home Depot. Like all other products at Home Depot, they get a Tuff Shed that looks the same but is a cheaper quality. My school district’s maintenance and operations department had a relationship with Tuff Shed. After I made the initial contact with Tuff Shed and picked out what I wanted, I gave the district the funds I had and they coordinated the purchase and set up.
