I'm getting a shed built by a professional shed builder. It's a barn style, 10x10. I have my choice of wood or metal siding. I was leaning towards metal because it should require less maintenance, now I'm rethinking that. I think the wood sheds just look better in a backyard. For one thing, the trim (door, window and roof) is wider. And, if I add a window or vent or something, it's a lot easier. The metal sheds seem to look so "industrial". And, I have two small boys who love to throw rocks. I realize the wood shed will have to be painted every few years. The roof is metal in either case. Thoughts, pros and cons?

Hi, There's an old shed on our property that I've decided to fix up a bit. It has corrugated plastic roofing that badly needs repair or replacing, holes in the walls and is missing a door. I've found that I can buy replacement roofing at Home Depot, and plan on doing that.. but I'm stuck on the door. I've thought of looking on Craigslist for an old door to simply affix to the shed, but I would think that building a simple shed door would be more efficient. How can I build a simple shed door? Or, do you think it may be better to purchase an old door and figure out a way to attach it to the shed?

Think I can just cut a square and screw a piece of plexy glass to it? Or should I consider finding an old window to try and add to the shed? I'm hoping to eventually end up with something similar to this [IMG]http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3244/2658733065_86549f0048_n.jpg[/IMG] Thanks in advance.. I know I'm a serious newbie! Jenna
