Re: Freeze 27 deg now sheds

I've got three kinds of shelves in the garage, Donna. Wooden from Hold Everything, plastic from Wal-Mart, and metal from previous owner. Wooden are the most expensive; also the best. Adjustable on 2-inch centers. The plastic are serviceable and seem to support heavy loads. They also are rigid and thus do not require cross bracing, so are a tad easier to put up. Metal are, well, metal shelves.

I am in charge of purchasing and getting it here. John is the
installer!... with me as the 'get me this/hold this' person. We are
planning on making a base for it with crushed paver stone (already got
the truck filled with it, that is tomorrows project). Not sure just how
he is planning on anchoring it, but with all the stuff I plan on putting
it in... well, it should stay put LOL! Actually it is a complete kit
with a rubber type floor and all.... he plans on having it up and
useable by next weekend.... we will see.

So the new question of the night is..... shelves! Should I buy metal or
plastic type for it?

I like the resin types myself, but they are against the north side of
my
house. I wonder how yours will do if you are putting it out in the
open.
Is it anchored to the ground? Some of the storms you've described
having
might give it a nudge if it's not secured.

I did purchase the shed this morning. Opted for a resin type, 8X9,
but
this one has a metal framing so hopefully it will be sturdier. It
does
have a tad more style to it, i.e. no flat outside walls, and the
colors
match my house. I couldn't believe all the different types out there
and 
the fact it took 2 weeks to decide which one. It is being delivered
tomorrow afternoon, which also shocked me- Sunday delivery and the
next
day!.
