Shed recommendations

[noidea]

As the title says looking for shed recommendations. 
Looking at either 6x8 or 8x8 , I’ve been looking at metal sheds as most likely will be put on a slabbed area and I like the idea of not needing to keep treating a wooden shed. 
any recommendations would be great

thanks in advance

Metal ones are pretty flimsy and a pain to put up - definitely a two person job. 
have done a few. Condensation is a problem, and I put a 2” raised concrete floor inside one to prevent water ingress under the sides.

Personally I’d go high quality wood, not B&Q type. Proper heavy duty felt on the roof too.  I’ve put loads up over the years and you really do get what you pay for - treated properly from the start and looked after, decent ones will outlast me!

What he said. Wood won't rot if you keep its feet dry and the roof drains away from it.

 

I'm not keen on roof felt unless it is torched on, I went for profiled metal with foam insulation , seconds, which prevents condensation and keeps cool in direct sun.

And if you're worried about water wicking up from the concrete into the floor joists stand the shed on bricks/blocks that have pond liner or dpm over them

Concrete slab, concrete blocks 1 or two courses then build your self a studwork frame sides screw some osb to the sides and then use some WRC or Larch  to clad it. Expensive yes but good.

Or bite the bullet and buy a flat pack insulated shipping container, buy once and never have to paint or replace some timber that makes balsa look strong.

Thanks for all responses. Any suggestions on makes of sheds then. 
will have a look into the flat packs. 
my plan is to have the shed up off the slabs

Where are you located?

[Peasgood]

I'm a fan of corrugated iron. You can clad with osb and tin over the top to prevent condensation.
