Sheds to Choose From
Posted By Sue on July 7, 2009
This Titan metal shed Duramax model has an inside height of about 5 1/2 feet in the middle. It is completely composed of metal and claims to be 15% larger and as much as 8″ taller than other comparable sheds. Total dimensions are 102.7 x71.6×79.7 inches. This particular shed has reinforced groove steel walls. This makes it more durable when hit with a rock thrown by a lawn mower or hailstones. The lighter color it will reflect some of the heat and also be more neutral to blend in with more homes exteriors and would a bold color.
The manufacturer claims that 2 people can assemble the whole shed in about four hours. All of the parts are drilled, precut, and numbered for easily assembly.
Tools required include a drill with a Phillips head, measuring tape, pliers, hammer, and ladder.
Upgrades for this shed also include a wider and taller shed for more storage room, wider double doors, and other color choices.
Almost every yard has some sort of shelter, or needs a shelter to keep tools, toys, bikes, and lawn mowers. Choosing one with a paint warrantee, strong steel frame, and grooved steel all help to insure that the out building will have a long life. Other advantages of a light colored shed, it is easier to paint over if the exterior color of the home changes. If rust areas develop, it is a good idea to paint over the areas with a rust retardent paint, such as Rustoleum or another paint meant to slow or stop the effects of rust.
Required tools for this shed should be readily available in most garages and tool boxes. For most sheds an eight foot step ladder is all that is required. Having a battery powered screw gun is also a nice tool to have on hand for most home projects. The DeWalt 14.4 drill is a very durable screw gun that even contractors use.
