Let's admit it: There's no shortage of backyard sheds out there, which makes finding the right one a challenge to say the least. You want it to check all the boxes. Not only does it have to pass your visual appeal test — it needs to fit your budget and come outfitted with all the bells and whistles to take your backyard setup to the next level.
Whether you've dreamed of a functional potting shed, a cozy spot for crafting or just some extra room to organize your family's seasonal gear (pool toys or camping essentials, perhaps?), we found a shed at BJ's that's worth considering: the 10' by 8' Lifetime Outdoor Storage Shed, which just so happens to be $300 off once it's added to your cart.
The exterior is light gray wood-grain paneling, and features shatterproof plexiglass windows and a shingled roof. It's equipped with screened roof vents and two 90" x 9" shelves that can be adjusted. You'll also get the flooring that's made of polyethylene, which BJ's says is to prevent any slipping or stains over time. Bonus? It also comes with free shipping and a 10-year warranty.
Keep in mind that the platform is not included. You'll need to create a level platform (concrete pad, wood or steel) before assembling the shed in your backyard. Many customers recommend handling the assembly with at least one other person. It's also a good idea to check your local building codes beforehand. BJ's also offers installation for some products, so it's worth checking that out if you're not sure where to begin with the platform.
If you're not a BJ's member, you'll need to sign up for a membership to place your order. But if you're not there yet, we found other attractive models from Wayfair, Amazon and The Home Depot that offer the same aesthetic.
