Hi guys,
I am tired of having to share my workspace in the garage with my wife's car, so I am looking into getting a 12' x 24' portable shed in the backyard.
I like the prices of the metal sheds, but like the look of the wood sheds.
I am wanting to fully insulate it and air condition it. The metal shed still has wood framing on the inside just like the wood shed. The only difference is the outside panels (metal or wood).
The price difference is about $1000. ($4000 for metal & $5000 for wood).
My concern is insulation and cooling. I live in florida and it gets super hot. I am wondering if the metal shed will stay cool enough after insulating it with a window ac unit.
Also, does anyone have any reason to do one or the other? The only differences that I can determine are just the way it will look on the outside.
Here are sample pics of the 2.
Any and all input appreciated.
Thanks!
Dave
