A build-it-yourself shed is the simplest, least expensive way to turn an otherwise underused corner of your backyard into a secure, sheltered space to store the various sundries — yard equipment, grilling gear, pool toys and the like — that would otherwise be decaying while exposed to the elements or clogging up the garage. There’s no shortage of sheds that you can order online, but there’s one with a particularly low price that’s especially worth considering right now.
The JolyDale 4.5-Foot by 2.5-Foot Metal Storage Shed is on sale for $116 at Wayfair, 61% off its normal $300 price tag. It’s on sale as part of Wayfair’s 72-Hour Clearout sales event, so we’d recommend snapping one up ASAP if you could use it, which it’s hard to imagine you couldn’t.
61% OffIt’s made of galvanized steel, steel coated in zinc that makes it corrosion-resistant. It’s also a material that holds up well to the elements, from high winds and hail to UV rays. The roof is slanted and has built-in recesses, both of which foster drainage and minimize the risk of rust and the interior becoming moist. The interior has an anti-scratch plastic shell and is accessible through a single, lockable door. Compared to other sheds on the market, it’s on the smaller side, so it’s great for someone who doesn’t need to store large items (no riding mowers, please) and you can mount racks to the walls for more vertically-oriented storage. The $116 price tag is among the lowest we’ve spotted on a shed you can walk into; it’s a more common price for an outdoor storage box that’s less versatile.
One shopper wrote that this shed “was very easy to put together.” And now that it’s done, “it looks great and fits my needs with room to spare.”
Other customers lauded the “good quality, durable” construction of this shed and the fact that it “keeps everything dry.” The general consensus, as one person put it, is that this shed offers “very good bang for the buck.”
