I missed the initial posting on this thread, but maybe this could be
helpful. I got an 8 x 12 shed from Heartland 10 years ago and it is still in pristine condition (and I confess I never got around to painting it). The walls are as the poster (Donna?) described, but the outside came with a grey primer. Inside has that large particled board look. I covered the ground with plastic sheeting where it was constructed. It has a raised plywood floor on blocks. Nothing has rotted out. I knew about Heartland on Rt. 70 and went directly there to buy it, and had no problems or delays (though my shed is a simple one). A man came out with all the parts in a pickup truck and constructed it on the spot in one day's time. The cost was $950., but then this was ten years ago. Kira |

Ours also had primer on the exterior surface of the siding. Sounds like the stuff is tougher than it looks. We did get the pressure treated floor, so we expect that to last. We covered the floor with two coats of paint too. Ours was over $2000, same size. The base price was like $1750, but we added a number of options. Have you had any problem with bugs taking up residence? We seem to get a lot of wasps, especially in the Spring. -dreq |

We seem to get a lot of wasps, especially in the Spring. -dreq A few wasps but the carpenter bees are the problem, in the 2 x 4's holding up the roof. After they made the holes, apparently the woodpeckers went after them and dug out their tunnels, so there are now long deep gouges. I started swatting, once I noticed this, and the 2 x 4's still seem to be holding up fine. There are also cockroaches, camelback crickets, and once a black snake (cute) and a copperhead (not cute). I open the doors, stand back, and shout, "OKAY in there! I'm coming in!" It has been 3 years since I have seen the snakes. Well, I'm in deep woods. I came and invaded THEIR homes, so I generally live and let live, unless it means destruction of my property .... or death (mine). Kira |
