Quonset Shed Kits Vs. Standard Shed Kits – Who’s “Tough?”
Cheap shed kits claim to be “tough” but how tough are they compared to a Quonset shed? Often made out of lower-quality materials like tin, aluminum or wood, so-called “tough” sheds will collapse if subject to an extreme weather event or just impact damage. So what is it about Quonset sheds that make them the clear option for storage that will last longer than a few years?
| Durability | Steel Quonset Sheds | Aluminum Alloy Sheds | Tin Sheds | Wooden Sheds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prone to dents, scratches and punctures | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Warping or bending under extreme conditions | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Disaster resistant | Yes | No | No | No |
| HVHZ Impact Rated | Yes | No | No | No |
“I love our Quonset Hut shed. It is so bright, and so wonderful and enchanting and it feels so good.”

Custom Prefab Shed Pricing
Every SteelMaster shed price is custom to order based on the needs of our customers. SteelMaster sheds start at under $3,000 and the cost depends on several factors such as:
-
- Shed size – The larger the shed, the more expensive the project will be but will cost less per square foot.
- Code & load requirements – Specific localities may have certain code or load requirements that may impact a shed’s design and pricing.
- Custom features – Beyond standard storage shed needs, add ventilation, insulation, windows, and more.
- Shed size – The larger the shed, the more expensive the project will be but will cost less per square foot.
Compare Long-term Shed Costs
The cost of a shed and its cost-effectiveness are two different things. You can purchase a cheap 10′ x 10′ shed, but the chances are you’ll have to replace it every 10 – 15 years and end up spending much more money over the next decades.
Compare that to a steel Quonset shed that comes with a 50-year warranty and you end up saving money on shed storage and only have to build it once over that timespan. So when looking at the true cost of a shed – how do tin, aluminum or wooden sheds stack up?
| Cost Components | Steel Quonset Sheds | Wooden Sheds | Aluminum Alloy Sheds | Tin Sheds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Materials Cost | $ | $ | $ | $ |
| Maintenance Costs | Little-to-none | Repair/upkeep costs | Repair/upkeep costs | Painting and roofing |
| Life Expectancy | 50+ years | 10 – 15 years | 10 – 15 years | 10 – 15 years |
Small, Medium, Large and Larger Metal Shed Sizes
The smallest Quonset shed is 10′ x 10′ and the largest can go upwards of 60 feet wide with infinite length – so no matter the size of the shed you’re looking for SteelMaster has you covered. While we typically sell medium size sheds that range between 20 x 20 feet to 30 x 30 feet, storage sheds come in all shapes and sizes.
Small Sheds – Backyard Equipment Storage
When you want more than a cheap home improvement shed, our small 10′ by 10′ models are perfect for most backyards or rural properties.
Medium Sized Sheds – Vehicle Storage, Office & Workshop Space
When you have the room and need the space, our medium shed models are usually around 20′ by 20′ and can fulfill larger storage needs like acting as a garage for vehicles.
Large Sheds – Agricultural, Industrial or Commercial Storage
When your shortage shed needs reach an industrial scale, our large storage sheds are a cost-effective, durable solution.
One Bolt, One Wrench Shed Construction
Step 1: Lay shed arch panels on the ground in the shape of the arch you’re erecting.
Step 2: Insert and loosely tighten bolts in the predrilled holes to assemble the arch.
Step 3: Raise the shed arches and attach them to the foundation (if needed).
Step 4: Tighten the bolts.
Step 5: Repeat until the building is complete.
Mark Pagliaro in Florida wanted to build a simple shed himself but it also needed to be Florida HVHZ building code compliant. He turned to SteelMaster and was delighted to learn that our sheds can meet or beat his area’s building codes.
His building arrived with all the panels predrilled and ready for assembly, no measuring, cutting, welding or hammering – only requiring Mark to use one socket wrench to assemble the entire building.
Are Quonsets The Strongest Sheds Available? Yes!
Steel is stronger than aluminum, tin, wood and plastic composites, so when you want the toughest shed possible with the strongest engineering behind it, you should choose a Quonset shed. You don’t have to just take our word for it:
Aubrey Brown, a pottery maker, purchased his building initially to house his 32-foot motorhome. He soon found out that his SteelMaster building also served another important purpose as a storm shelter.
“My SteelMaster shed can withstand 140 mph winds, which is more than I can say about my house. Before each storm hit, I stocked the motor home and then my wife and 82-year-old mother and I hunkered down until the hurricanes passed. I bought the shed to house it in and keep it out of the sun during the off-season.”
Aubrey says he and his family watched shingles fly off the roof of their workshop and trees sliced in half and blown to the ground while they were shielded from the storm inside of their SteelMaster.
