Looking to add a 10x12 wood shed for mainly storage but also light wood work.
I know Tuff Shed is a top quality brand but are there any other brands I should consider?
Tuff sheds costs does include installation so that’s a plus but I’m not opposed to installing the shed myself.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

I priced them and looked at how they were constructed. I built my own with better quality cladding and structure for likely cheaper.

Big fan of the plans I got from iCreatables.com to do it.

Tuff Shed gave me a crappy build with inferior material's on a 16 x 36. 3 years ago so lumber was not in a shortage. Neighbor has thesame size Derksen. It is better built. better materials. I'd stay away from TS.

Build your own baw. Itll be better, cheaper, and a fun little project.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I’m not opposed to building it myself. I just value the time more now. Weekends are already busy and go by too fast so having someone do it appeals to me.

I’ve helped my dad with two shops. About the only thing I can’t do is electrical.

We ordered a Graceland building from a local dealer in BR. 12x20. They seem to be well-made, sturdy and our build was priced significantly less than a similar one from Tuff Shed. They have solid warranty on their work, too. It's getting delivered next week so I could certainly let you know how that process goes when it's all said and done.

I have had a Graceland 10x20 shed for over 15 years now. No issues with quality, it's still in excellent shape. I am very pleased with the building. I reseal the siding every 5 years. I just replaced the roof, it was metal and very oxidized, with shingles that match my house roof.

Had a small 8x10 tuffshed in the backyard at my old house for close to 10 years. If I could have, I would have brought it with me to the new place. I loved it.
