They suck. Horrible experience. Stuff goes in and it locks and now can't get my stuff out
I don't know, I don't even own a shed LOL (cross-threading on his other post about generators and everyone has an opinion even those that don't own one )

Our back yard has one very similar in style to that, which came with the house. might be roughly that size. I keep the 48" Riding mower in there and the yard tools.

Around here I've researched all kinds of options including pole barns. Everlast seems to be pretty popular and they build on site from the ground up. We're planning on a 16x24 for this summer once I get the site work finished. If you're looking at a 10x12 plan on a 12x16 for "expansion". 
I've had an 8x10 for ten years and it's great. No issues whatsoever. I think it was a Lowes purchase, but maybe HD. The floor, walls, and roof panels are all preassembled. The workers come in, set the blocks on the ground and level them, then in just a few hours the whole thing is together. You will have to paint it obviously.

I needed a shed to store lumber & plywood for my hobby. Looked at the BORG ones. 24" on centers, 2x3's, no base wall studs, bleh bleh bleh. $3000+
So... in the spirit of DIY, I built my own for around $1000

Well done! Yeap, when I get ready to do mine, I will build it myself. Will cost a quarter of what they are charging and certainly will be better made and with better materials. You just got to shop around and take your time.

We're in a pickle here. I tore down two of the three, alleged, sheds the previous owners had built here. The one remaining shed has a bad roof and we had planned on tearing that down. Then I was going to prepare a base 20x28 for a 16x24 Everlast shed. Unfortunately lumber prices have gone insane and I strongly suspect the original estimate we got for that will be just a "little" on the low side, probably 50% more. So now we've got to decide if we should build the shed ourselves or just repair the roof, and sheathing, on that one remaining shed and try to get by with a single 8x10 shed. Everything that was in the two I tore down and everything other than the generator is in a 12x20 pop-up garage as a temporary storage solution. So I don't know how we can get 100 pounds of crap into a five pound bag.
I cleaned out my 2 car garage last weekend after 8 months of just throwing stuff in there and accumulating. I reduced a lot of clutter and un-needed items by taking a pickup full of stuff to Salvation Army

Already did that when we transferred everything into the pop-up garage. Three trips to the recycling center with the pick-up. A lawn tractor, 48" deck, big chipper/shredder, 26" snow thrower, rear tine roto tiller, fertilizers, seed, mulch, shovels, rakes, yadda yadda, ten five gallon gas cans, oil for the machines, repair parts for the machines, lumber and so on. That kind of stuff needs some room and extra space to maneuver it in and out. I actually figured a 16x24 would get a little tight with all this stuff. The one shed I tore down was 20x28 but a Quonset hut style so the headroom was restricted along the long walls.
you do not need a shed. You need a barn
