Arrow Hamlet 8x6 Steel Storage Shed
The Arrow Hamlet 8x6 steel shed is the economical choice for buyers prioritizing security and rigidity, offering thinner upfront cost per square foot and a steel shell that resists impact better than many plastic models. Compared with resin competitors (Keter, Rubbermaid, Suncast) it tends to be less expensive and sturdier against knocks, though it requires more attention to corrosion prevention and typically lacks the insulating and maintenance benefits of polymer builds.

Suncast Tremont 8x10 Resin Storage Shed
The Suncast Tremont 8x10 resin shed is a best-in-class option for gardeners needing generous floor space with low upkeep—its molded resin panels mimic a finished appearance while resisting rot and fading. It competes directly with the Lifetime 8x10 on footprint but generally undercuts Lifetime on price while offering easier maintenance than steel models like the Arrow, though it may not match Lifetime's reinforced framing for heavy-duty loads.
