Go with wood, a little bigger than you think you will need(trust...) and maybe a small lean to. If its by the pool integrate a spot for pool equipment and a bar or grill. design your own for the space you have and use it for a little more than storage. Tin/aluminum and plastic are ok...but wood is much better and you can tailor it for your wants and needs easier.

the pool and patio stuff will be its main purpose. I like the idea of the outdoor bar though I may have ot brainstorm this one for a while and see what we come up with. I am usualy of the mindset bigger is better but I may be kinda handcuffed by the dimensions of the yard and location of the pool, but am sure I can make something work.

Wood is the only way to go. I had a plastic one and it became brittle after 3 years, I've heard that the metal ones are crap, but wood, is just as strong and long lasting as a house.

For pool chemicals, you don't want a metal shed... if you get chlorine on the aluminum it'll fuck it up. Personally, I'd do a wood shed, just because you can add shelves, hanging hooks, etc., wherever you want nailed into a stud. Can't do that with plastic or tin. Then I'd get a couple of the sturdier, free-standing plastic outdoor cabinets and put them side-by-side under the eaves of the shed. Keep the chlorine and the muriatic acid on the bottom shelves of separate cabs. But i'm kinda anal about that stuff.

I've got one of those pre-fab assemble yo'self wood gimmicks from Lowe's. Shitty overall construction, was missing several pieces of wood, etc. But it does it's job. Just had to modify as needed during assembly.

Def wood! The metal ones seem to fall apart or start leaking after a few years.

Not yet, I am still just feeling stuff out. Seems like wood is the way to go so it may take me a bit longer to russle up some funds since theyre more expensive. I need to do some measuring or brainstorming too since I dont think an 8x8 would even fit in the spot I was looking to put it in.
I also like tghe idea with the pool supplies. I do have a plastic storace cabinet so I may just put the pool stuff in there along with some other odds and ends. Tom |

I have a vinyl shed 8' x 12' purchased from Home Depot - not the thin vinyl but the one that is about 3" thick, the panels interlock. It has held up quite well with the sun and hurricanes. The only complaint I have is that the screw were not stainless...I need to replace those.
