Metal Shed Pros - 1. Metal sheds are easy to erect with nuts and bolts; 2. There is very little maintenance other than perhaps hosing it down occasionally; 3. With metal doors they are a little more secure; 4. Reasonably priced; 5.Completely resistant to fire and rot and bugs.

These are some of the pros and cons of metal versus wood and there are probably others but these seem to be the most important. If your backyard is used as part of your living space during certain seasons and you are conscious of the appearance of your yard than a wooded shed will supply a hominess that a metal shed just does not provide. A metal shed will suffice if you do not mind the noise during rain storms and keeping your fingers crossed when it is windy.
Is it possible to lay a metal garden shed on turf?I haven't bought a shed yet, but I was hoping to buy one with a metal floor so I could erect it on the lawn without having to dig/lay a base for it.
You would be safer building block under it never have anything on turf as the damp will settle in
I would think it will rust. Also a lawn isn't necessarily level and prone to movement. No need to put a concrete base just concrete a few blocks or bricks enough for support (level them) to raise shed off the ground several inches.
It is possible tp build it direcly on the ground. The ground needs to be as level as possible for the structure to be square and the door to operate properly. You might want to put a pressure treated 2x4 under the base to minimize any corrosion or rusting to the metal.
yes you can do this but it will rott without the proper base. also mositure will come and go more easier, however if this is not a concern then go for it. the shed will last a long time but not for ever if not set up right
You could but it may not be the most stable or level. The damp would be a problem. A good concrete base is always best. it will make the shed a lot more sturdy in strong winds providing you bolt it down to it thus giving the shed a longer life saving you money in the long run Have fun
