I purchased three of these carport sheds about 5 years ago for storing some farm stuff. Two are 18 x 22 and the third is 18 x 24. I bought the optional 6' high sidewalls, full sides, and single end closure. So they are basically three-sided sheds. They have held up OK against normal winds and SE Ohio snowfalls.
I've been very satisfied so far, but there are several steps you should take to assure some degree of satisfaction.
-- First, be sure the ones that you buy have corner braces and collar ties. I've seen a LOT of these sheds in the South that DON'T have the braces or ties and they look pretty flimsy so choose your supplier well .... they aren't all equal .... compare frame member size and gauge.
-- Second, make sure you prep a level site and put down a gravel bed with a vapor barrier.
-- Third, make sure the sheds are well tied down. At a minimum, use five, 1/2" rebars about 3' long with welded top nuts, on each side, and drive them through drilled holes in the sill member into the ground (the guys that install the sheds should do this, but you should check what they use and how long the rods are) ... check them periodically to assure that they don't work out of the ground. Another option available for the tie-downs are screw anchors that can be twisted into the ground ... don't know how well these work.
-- If you get sides or an end, orient the building away from the predominate wind direction.
The day these were to be delivered, a guy that could barely speak English calls me for final directions. He and a buddy (totally non-English speaking) show up at 9am with a pickup and a trailer of material. They worked non-stop (except for a 15 min lunch break) and drove away at 3pm with all 3 buildings complete!!
The sheds are most satisfactory for my storage purposes, .... but you get what you pay for. Just some thoughts and suggestions for your consideration.
