Lot's of good advice already posted. But one more thing. If you use one of these, buy a tarp and put it on the ground, and park your vehicles on the tarp. These buildings are typically erected where drainage is not considered (like right on a yard). Condensation from the ground is a huge problem with these structures. I had a neighbor who bought a metal building, and because of a health problem, couldn't erect it, so he stored it inside one of these temp structures. I think it would have been better out in the air. The moisture collected, and rusted fast.

This phenom is not that unusual. An old neighbor build a machine storage shed, without good drainage, and it would rust farm equipment fast. Best thing is put it somewhere good and dry, and lay a tartp on the bottom.

Good Luck
Steve
